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.

Review of Inspection Findings
Launch of ‘Quality and improvement in Scottish education 2012-16’ report Chief Education Inspector Dr Bill Maxwell has published a review of inspection findings (click bold text for link to report), over the last four years, highlighting some areas of growing strength and five key areas for further improvement.
The report covers all sectors and makes engaging reading for those interested. It covers all areas from early years provision to adult learning and gives a narrative summary of findings from inspections and other evaluative activities gathered from observing practice at first hand across the whole country.
Parental Engagement Conference
Mrs Davies and Mrs Bates attended the West Lothian Parental Engagement Conference. We heard about the value of this important driver for pupil learning and came away with lots of ideas.
Red Nose Day Assembly
Thank you to everyone who bought red noses and dressed up for Red Nose Day. P2/1 did a fantastic job of telling us all about Red Nose Day at assembly and told some wonderful jokes that made us all laugh! P2/1 shared that they raised an enormous £500 for red Nose Day, well done Linlithgow Primary.
Walk a Mile
This week some staff and pupils from school walked a mile for PJ. West Lothian College organised this event to support the family and raise awareness. We wish that we could have all gone along to show our support and how proud we are of PJ.
Mother’s Day Craft
P7A were honing their listening skills by following instructions to create a Mother’s Day card. Careful cutting, sticking and decorating have produced delightful heart-bouquets to take home.

Help! Big Scarecrow Team Challenge
I am planning a team challenge with the assistance of Mr Ross and Mr Fagin our school janitors which hopefully will take place just after Easter and will conclude our farm topic.
As part of this we will need to collect old (adult) clothes and newspapers which will be used to make 2 life size scarecrows. Any materials that we do not use will be recycled in line with us being an eco school. These can be sent in at any time along with anything else that you think might be useful for scarecrow making!
Adult helpers will be needed for this challenge but I am not quite sure of dates and times at the moment.
Thank you to everyone for your continuing support and please remember if you have questions, queries or indeed good ideas – come and speak to me!
