Primary 1
It has been short but busy week for P1. They have been rehearsing for a very special assembly next month. Making invitations was our first job so that we had an audience. They had to write down all the important information an invitation needs and then design the cover. They will be ready to come home on Monday!
Mrs McJimpsey and Mrs Hardie had an exciting call on Wednesday after school. The man said that he had heard Primary 1 are learning about how different living things grow and how to care for them. He would like to give us some eggs to look after in our classroom. We shared ideas about what might be inside. Here are some ideas:
- Ducklings
- Dragons
- Flowers
- Chocolates
- Chicks
- Seeds
- Beach balls
The eggs will arrive on Monday and we can investigate further!

Scottish Celebration Assembly
This morning we held our annual Scottish Assembly to celebrate all things Scottish. It was fantastic to have older family members, family and friends join us for the celebration.
We welcomed two judges for the poetry recitals, Mrs Thom from our office and Mr Jenkins a local resident who is part of the Burns Federation.
Two pupils from each class were selected to present at the assembly.
The judges decided on one child from each stage from P2-7 to go through to the West Lothian Burns Competition in February/ March.
The winners were:
- P2 – Jacob
- P3 – Sophie-Rose
- P4 – Eilidh
- P5 – Aaron
- P6 – Owen
- P7 -Lauren
Congratulations to the children who performed but also to all the children who recited a poem in front of their class.
Two girls from Primary 4 demonstrated some Scottish dancing.
