40 Years of Palace Guiding at Linlithgow Primary!

As you may or may not know this year is the 40th Anniversary of Palace Guiding here at Linlithgow Primary School. I just wanted to let you know that we have just had some social media coverage about the 40th anniversary of the guides. There’s a tweet on Twitter

Historic Scotland ran a competition with our up coming guides to design a 40th Anniversary Logo. The competition was won by Charlotte Casey and Ellie McDonald.

The logo by Charlotte and Ellie is featured in the web news story. A press release has gone out too and STV are interested as well as local and national press. The 40th anniversary event tickets are on Eventbrite.  The event will take place at Linlithgow Burgh Halls on Sunday 13th August. All welcome.

Tigers make it to George Allan Final

The annual George Allan Football tournament took place on Sunday the 21st of May. Our Linlithgow Tigers managed to win all but one game giving them a chance at the title in the final against Linlithgow Bridge Primary. Linlithgow Bridge stole a goal and despite all efforts the Tigers could just not equalise. It was a valiant effort by all. Well done Tigers. If you want to watch the highlights of the game please follow link below.

In the other League our Leopards dominated many games but were unable to secure a victory over Springfield, narrowly missing out a spot in the final.

Well done to both teams. They are now preparing for the next local competition which will be the Round Table Football Festival on the 4th of June which will take place at the Leisure Centre on the new 3G astro turf pitch.

There is a Buzz about P2b!

Primary 2b have been learning about different minibeasts. Yesterday they were finding out all about bees.  They found out lots of interesting facts about bees and how important they are. Today Mr Taylor brought in a Bee suit and gloves that a bee keeper would use to check a hive.

There were lots of unanswered questions that they still need to find out.  – How fast can Bees fly? Do Bees sleep? What do Bees eat in the Winter? Does all honey taste the same?
