P5 Weekly Blog

P5 have enjoyed getting back to school and are trying very hard to be a quality class.  We have elected new class reps: Shannon and Rory are our Eco reps. The Rights Respecting School reps are Katie and Sophie M. Our Pupil Council rep is Donatella and our Magale Rep is Ella.

We worked together to create our Class Charter and we have been reminding ourselves of the school rules. We have been using a lot of different things to help us remember them, eg  talking about them in groups,writing stories about the rules and performing dramas about them.

We have also enjoyed learning lots of new games in gym eg kick rounders, Danish rounders and the soft ball challenge.

We are looking forward to the many challenges P5 will bring!

Showing our school values to the world

At Assembly this week we were delighted to hear about the fundraising Cerys and Nia had done for our partner school in Magale. The girls worked with their family and organised a coffee morning at their grandma’s house last weekend.  They served tea and coffee, held a raffle, sold home baking and made loom bands for sale.  The total raised was over £400! Wow!  We added on the money already raised here in school last term and presented the cheque to Mrs Comrie after assembly.

We were also treated to a slideshow presented by Molly, about her exciting trip to Malawi this summer with the charity Mary’s Meals.  This charity encourages children to go to school by making sure there is a meal for them to eat there during the day.  Molly took donations of toys and gifts, and met lots of new friends in Malawi.  She also got the chance to try the meal, called Pala, with the children, and she said it tasted a bit like porridge- but even worse!

Closer to home, we heard how Freya was a good and kind friend to Lauren when Lauren fell off her bike on her way back from school. Well done Freya.  We’re glad to see your leg is feeling better now Lauren.

These girls are great examples of our school values, showing respect and consideration for other people.

Have you seen any other good examples you would share with the world?

Jump Rope for Heart

We have counted up the sponsor money and Mrs Hull is VERY proud to announce that the Jump Rope for Heart event raised over £1283!! Thank you very much to EVERYONE who contributed to the success of this event.

The British Heart Foundation have said we can keep 20% of the money raised to buy playground equipment, to keep us fit and active with healthy hearts.  This will be £256.64! (Miss Speirs and the Pupil Council will discuss how to spend it in the next school year.)

We have sent a cheque to the British Heart Foundation for the fantastic sum of £1026.56! This will do a great deal of good work on fighting heart disease and teaching more emergency first aid throughout Great Britain.  Well done everyone and THANK YOU!
