Primary 1 sang a buddy song to Primary 7 to thank them for being such supportive buddies. It was a lovely surprise!
In the style of Through the Keyhole, two teams had to use clues to guess the school year, the Primary 7s used memories, interesting facts about school and music as clues.
Primary 7 sang some songs, including this is me, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!
Miss Burton gave a speech, reminding us that our memories are our greatest treasure and surprised us with a video of our Primary 7 journey.

The school sang As We Go Now to our Primary 7s to wish them well.
Our Primary 7s shared their hopes for the future and what jobs they would like to be in the future.
We presented our Primary 7 children, with a certificate, their Year Book, tablet, a dictionary and their high school tie. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Parent Partner fundraising so we could gift these items to the children.
It was lovely that so many of our Primary 7 families could join us to celebrate.
A huge good luck to our Class of 2019 and we wish them well on their future adventures!
Almond will have a Pyjama Party on Wednesday 26th June at 11am for winning the house points this term.
As we have the P7 Celebration Assembly in the morning children should BRING their PJs or party clothes to change into for the party.
Sorry for the short notice about the party but we wanted the children to enjoy their treat before the end of term.
This week during our Junior Leadership Teams meetings, Miss Burton had prepared an afternoon tea to celebrate the leadership skills of our house and vice captains. We shared our favourite memories of the year, and our hopes for the future. It was lovely to hear them talk so positively about their Primary 7 experience and how they hope they have the same opportunities at high school.
A big thank you from Miss Burton for your leadership, support and laughs over the year, I really will miss you!

All the children in P1-P7 created a piece of writing for the West Lothian Council Stellar Writing Competition (previously known as Young Writer of the Year).
Our Literacy Leaders had the difficult task of selecting the best piece of writing for each class, and then an overall winner for the school.
On Thursday 6th May at 2:30pm, we will have a special Star Writer Assembly to celebrate and announce those children who have been selected (the children don’t know). Parents/ carers of these children have been informed but everyone is invited to the assembly. We look forward to seeing you!
