House Meeting 2
Today we had our second house meeting which had a focus on our playground. First of all the vice and house captains shared with us our house logos and slogans and also the values that our house thought were the most important:
- Almondell: Friendly & Enthusiastic
- Cunnigar: Friendly & Inclusive
- Linhouse: Friendly & Enthusiastic
- Calderwood: Enthusiastic & Successful
The vice and house captains taught us a new community builder called; elephants, monkeys, helicopters and palm trees. They were taught how to play this game at peer mediator training.
Next we discussed the importance of being safe in the playground and why we need to create a playground charter. We got into groups and discussed what we should have in our playground charter, and the house and vice captains will take this information to make a school playground charter.
Thank you to our house and vice captains for organising the house meeting, and to the P7s for organising the groups.

October Newsletter 2015
Dear Parent/Carer,
As Money Fortnight draws to a close there has been a buzz around learning about money around the school. From setting up a café in the nursery role play area to costing out a trip to Japan in the upper school. The children are very excited about sharing their learning with you this afternoon (Thursday 15th October) and at home it would be beneficial if they had opportunities to apply this learning in real life contexts, information on this is included on our school blog under homework. I hope you all have a lovely October break and look forward to seeing you in the new term.

Money Fortnight Open Afternoon
To celebrate the end of Money Fortnight we invited our parents and families into school to share with them what we have been learning about in connection with money, and also our interdisciplinary learning context for learning. Activities included visiting the bank, sharing our storybook, making a rainforest in a bottle and making sushi. Thank you to all the parents and families that came along to support this event, there was a great ‘buzz’ around the school.
House Challenge
At our first house meetings last week, the captains and vice-captains set the challenge of creating a logo and slogan for their house. The captains and vice-captains looked at all the ideas and created a logo and slogan, see the winning designs below.
