Primary 1 Update
Hello parents/carers,
What a wonderful first week we have had in Primary 1. The children have transitioned into their new class and routines well showing resilience to overcome their first week nerves. Thank you for supporting our learners on their new journey.
PE – Our PE days for this term will be on a Tuesday and Friday. Children should come into school with appropriate clothing and footwear to participate in sporting activities (ie trainers, joggers, t-shirt, jumper).
Snack for break time – If possible, can your child’s snack be kept separate from their lunch as some children are getting confused between what is for their break and what is for their lunch. Children may also want to have a small snack for the afternoon at the beginning of this school year, whilst they adjust to the longer days.
Seesaw login – All children will be provided with their Seesaw logins. Please try these at home and let me know if you have any issues. They will be uploading work onto their own accounts over the coming weeks once they have settled in to school life.
RCCT – Mrs Hardie will be working in Primary 1 on a Tuesday afternoon and will cover a range of HWB topics, PE and French.
Milk – Some children have been asking for milk; however they are not on the current list. If you would like them to be added to the list, please contact the school office.
Allergies – A reminder that no nut products should be brought into school due to children having allergies to different types of foods.
Personal items – Please ensure that everything your child brings to school is named. This will make it easier for them to look after and prevent things from being lost.
Lunch – Ensure children know what they are having for lunch before they arrive in the morning. If they are a school lunch which has been pre-ordered, this will not be changed by myself. You can order your child’s lunch through iPayimpact prior to them attending on the day. We use the colours in class to help identify what they would like.
The clear school bag/book bag provided during the transition into P1 is always useful for information to be sent home in. Please can you return the clear school bag/book bag so we can start using them to send information home. Should you not have access to the above, we will organise this for you.
Thank you for your continued support,
Miss Walkingshaw
Sports Day Feedback
Hello everyone,
First of all, thank you to those who were able to join us yesterday for our School Sports Day. We are glad that so many of you could join us across our morning and afternoon sessions. We are looking to announce the winner of Sports Day tomorrow at assembly (14/6/24).
I would greatly appreciate any feedback about Sports Day yesterday. This will allow me to plan and organise next year’s event with input from parents, children and carers.
The link below will take you to the feedback form or you should have received this through a group call today.

Friday Fun in P6
This morning we developed our knowledge of angles using active maths inspired activities. We used masking tape to create different types of angles on our classroom tables. We continued to develop our confidence of using protractors during this activity.
We had to identify the different types of angles we had been learning about by stating the accurate degree and the type of angle (right angle, acute, straight line or obtuse).
We worked in different groups to ensure we achieved success and developed our confidence.
P6 Cross Country
Libby from Active Schools ran a Cross Country event for us today. We worked hard both individually and collectively to ensure the event was a success. We all received a participation medal and proudly showed them off for the remainder of the day.
Well done P6 from Libby and Miss Walkingshaw!
P6 Visitor
Today we received a visit from Show Racism the Red Card to further enhance our knowledge of racism and discrimination. Kaela ran an insightful workshop for our P6 pupils where they were able to explore challenging topics in a safe space.
We want to say a massive thank you to Kaela for her visit and knowledge!
P6 PE Days for Term 4
Hello everyone,
Our PE days will be changing next term. This will come into place the first week back after the Easter holidays.
Our new PE days will be a Tuesday and Wednesday.
Thank you for your continued support.

Primary 6 Broxburn Cluster STEM Event
Our class enjoyed their trip to Broxburn Academy this week to take part in a STEM event. We got to use Bunsen burners, create an O-Wing and make a Fizz Pop Rocket.
Primary 6 Update
Following parents evening, I have created a grid of topics we have covered this term across different areas of the curriculum. This grid will provide extra learning for at home to further support their in class learning.
All children have accessed their logins today so should have this information available.
Thank you for your continued support,
Miss Walkingshaw
