Eat your heart out, Gustave Eiffel!

Leave a comment

Well done Callen Johnston, who ate his breakfast at the Breakfast Club and then moved on to create his own Statue of Liberty, using ZOOB construction pieces!  Here he is, proudly displaying his work.   For those of you who didn’t know, Gustave Eiffel also helped to build the Statue of Liberty in New York.  Callen is showing great promise as a future engineer.

If you would like to come along to Breakfast Club and take part in making exciting models, building with Lego, catching up with friends or taking part in our Wednesday morning exercise group, come along and join us at 8.15am every morning!  Everyone is welcome, from P1 – P7.  (Sorry Mums, Dads and Carers – you will have to get your own breakfast!)

Christmas Jumper Day – 15th December

Leave a comment

Hi Parents/Carers,

On the 15th of December we are having a non-uniform day.  We would like children to come to school in Christmas Jumpers and donate a £1 towards Save the Children.

You do not need to splurge on a new jumper,  you can get the children to be creative and make their own unique Christmas jumper!  There will be a prize for the best “SUPER SILLY SWEATER”! 🙂 This means get your tinsel, baubles, pom poms at the ready! At Murrayfield we are always encouraging our pupils to be creative so lets get our silliest sweaters on for December 15th! 🙂

By taking part in Christmas Jumper Day we as a Rights Respecting school are looking out for the rights of children in need, who require their rights to be protected.  [UNCRC article 2: All children have these rights, Article 3:  Adults must do what is best for us,  Article 6:  I should be supported to live and grow, Article 24: I have the right to good quality health care, to clean water and good food, Article 27: I have the right to have a proper house food and clothing]

“Make the world better with your sweaters. By joining in on Christmas Jumper Day, you’re helping to save children’s lives. Together we can be there when children need us most. When they’re in danger we can keep working to keep them safe. When they’re sick, cold and hungry we can keep working to bring them food and water, medicine and shelter. Because of your help, we can keep making the world better
for children everywhere.” (Save the Children)

P7 Pupil Consultation, Friday 6th October 2017, West Lothian Civic Centre

Leave a comment

We were proud to have two of our Primary 7 House Captains, Lara Findlay and Aarin Higgins represent us at the P7 Pupil Consultation on Friday 6th October 2017 at  West Lothian’s Civic Centre.  There, they met with other P7 pupils from selected Primary Schools across the Authority to give their views on the quality of the education they receive.  Following the Consultation, they were given a quick tour of the Council Chambers.  What a terrific experience!

HOMEWORK CLUB

Leave a comment

Unfortunately homework club was unable to take place today as there were several events taking place within the school and there was no working area available during our lunch time.  There will be a homework club slot tomorrow (Thursday) for any children who were unable to attend today and still have homework tasks to complete. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.  Normal times will resume next week.

Good morning Blackburn!

We don’t let the grass grow under our feet in the mornings here at Murrayfield.  Children love joining in with our Wednesday “Wake up, Shake up” classes because they are great fun.  Why don’t you come along to Breakfast Club and join in the fun if you are in P1 – P7? ( Sorry parents – if you are interested we can see if we can arrange a session for you to join in too!)

Breakfast club gets us off to a fantastic start every morning.  It’s free to all pupils and we love to welcome newcomers.  Doors open at 8.15am.
