Pumphie Pals was a great success

 

Our first Pumphie Pals event was fantastic.  All pupils showed great maturity and enthusiasm sharing their learning, questioning their peers and discussing the learning that had taken place during Cultural Diversity Week.  We wanted to take time for pupils to share and be proud of what they were doing and this was a lovely event which was enjoyed by everyone.

This afternoon at 11:30 parents, carers, relatives and friends are invited to some to school and share this learning with your child.  We have a French Cafe in the dining hall from 11:15.  Children should be returned to their class by approximately 12pm – if you are taking your children home early please ensure you sign them out with the class teacher.

Many thanks for your support,  Steven Eagleson

Morrisons vouchers

Thank you to everyone who donated Morrisons ‘Let’s Grow’ vouchers to our school. We collected 1595 which will let us order more trowels, forks and planting equipment for our Ground Force box, and a couple of items to build up our food preparation equipment to help in our learning about Food and Health.

JRSO Weekly Blog

The JRSO’s have been learning how much a driver can see while sitting in the driver’s seat and where the blind spots are on the car model.  P7 pupils got to sit in Mrs Hull’s car (with the keys secure in her pocket) to safely re-create what it is like to be a driver at the wheel and the dangers of being a pedestrian.

JRSO Parksmart poster winners

At today’s Assembly we heard who had won the Poster competition organised by the JRSOs. Here are the winning designs which will be adapted into posters for display around our school, to encourage everyone to park smart or to travel to school without the car.

Well done to Sophie, Bayleigh, Kyle, Bailey, Molly, Nia, Freya, and Jonathan.

The Eco Factor

Have you been practising your entry for the Eco Talent show next week? The Eco Committee will be hosting the Eco Factor and judging the best two entries from each class to find the best Junior and Senior Eco acts in school.  In class Auditions will be held very soon – the Big Final is on Thursday 20th at Assembly. Remember, if you want to win, your act MUST contain and very clear ECO message…

P7

“We learned what to do when you’re being bullied from Childline” (Jordan)

“In P.E we got peer assessed and we self assessed how good we are in tennis” (Sophie)

” In maths we were finding partners for fractions and decimals” (Rebecca)

“In reading the red group were summarising and creating a new text about spiders” (Connor)

“In French we were learning how to say the weather in French for example cold – le frevo” (Shea)

Look what came today!

Our green flag

Early bird pupils were able to cheer on the raising of our Green flag as it was put in place first thing this morning! What a fantastic start to our week.

The Eco committee are still working hard on keeping our school recycling systems going, and encouraging everyone to use the litter bins. This month it is Primary 1 and 1/2 turn on the litter picking duty, so we’re sure the playground will be clean and clear. 

We are also planning an exciting competition which will take place in March. More details will follow, but in the meantime if you have an entertaining talent, keep practicing…

We noticed last week that some of the bulbs planted in the front border are already poking their leaves up to look for the sun, so it won’t be long til spring. Keep your eyes open and let us know if you see anything interesting growing in and around our grounds.

Primary 3

In writing this week primary 3 have been focusing on using the connectives, and, but and because. We have been learning the Canadian Barn Dance in PE as we will be  doing this dance at our Christmas Party. As part of our Senses topic we have been looking at people who do not have their sense of sight and how they have to rely on their other senses.
