Sending our thoughts to France

franceOn behalf of the school I contacted our friends at école St Jacques in Roussillon to let them know we held a minute of silence for the people of France.

The teacher replied to thank us.  She says they too are thinking about the terrible events and the children are asking lots of questions.

They will be in touch again soon.

Primary 7 Assembly

Here are the stars of yesterday’s assembly- Primary 7.  They shared what they had learned about World War 2 and told the story of two children who were evacuated to safety.  Thank you for helping us to mark the season of remembrance Primary 7. The picture shows the cast at the end of the show.

Seatbelt Safety

Primary 4 have been showing the importance of wearing your seatbelt in the car by designing and testing new vehicles for some rather furry passengers. Each group was challenged to work together as a team using Lego, K’nex and other construction systems to create a car for a cuddly toy,  with elastic safety harnesses.

Remember to wear your seatbelt and sit in a safe car seat on every journey.

Nursery news

The children in Nursery have been learning about our school rules, and telling each other how we make our school the best it can be. Have a look at their great ideas!

What a Wonderful Wig Walk!

Thank you SO much to everyone who contributed to the success of our ‘Walk your Wigs Off’ walk today.  This was our part of West Lothian Walking week, and what lovely weather we had for our walks. Thank you to Pumpherston Community Council and the West Lothian Council NETS team for the  loan of litter picking equipment – Pumpherston was looking very tidy today.  We had a fantastic team of helpers with us on the walk, thank you for coming along with us.  We hope you enjoyed it, we were very pleased to have you with us today.

Back at school we were raising money through our Dress Down Day pounds for Team Jak, a local charity raising money to build and improve facilities for young people with cancer – we are very proud to say we raised £200!

Well done everyone – remember, as it says in our song, ‘ I can, you can we can make a difference! ‘

West Lothian Walking Week – helpers needed!

Would you be free on the morning of  Friday September 25th?wig1

We’re planning to take part in West Lothian Walking Week by walking round the community in groups of 2 or 3 classes, picking up any litter as we go.  The theme for this year  is Walk Your Wigs off  so many of us will be wearing crazy wigs on the day. It’s also one of our regular monthly dress down days, with the children contributing £1 to dress down which will be donated to Jak’s Den.

We’re looking for adult helpers to help with the supervision of classes on the walkabout! Please contact the school office if you are able to help.

Thank you!

Mrs Hull.
