The competition closes on Thursday.
On Thursday 15th March we are holding our first Celebration Assembly to mark our achievements this term.
Teachers have nominated children for a STEM Superstar and Remarkable Reader Awards in each class, if your child is receiving one of these awards you should have received a special invite last week.
We will also be giving out Head Teachers Award, Sumdog Awards, Top Scorers and the House Winners, so please feel free to come along and and join us at 9:15am if you wish.
I have been keeping an eye on our Sumdog scores for the competition and I would like to say a big well done to those of us in P4 who have joined in! 7 people from our class have entered which means we only need another 3 people to play to qualify and get on the leaderboard!
Extra special mention to Ava B who has currently answered the most questions in P4 in the last 7 days. Well done Ava!
So come on Primary 4, we can do it if we work together!
Today West Lothian started their Sumdog Maths competition, until Thursday.
All children are invited to take part at home as well as at school.
We will present certificates to our children who come within the top 50.
Good luck everyone!
Some of our staff have been sharing photos of icicles hanging from their roofs. Can you estimate the length of the icicle and share it in the comments section?
