Our Basketlball Team played in the West Lothian Wolves tournament on Friday. They won 3 out of the 4 games they played in! This is a huge success for our team. A big thank you to Mrs Hamilton for coaching our team and to her son for coming along to help support them. Also thank you to all the parents and families that came along to support the team.
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:
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.

Mrs Ross made some tablet to sale and our Parent Partners donated a Scottish hamper.
A big thank you to Lauren and Jack who saved the day by fixing our microphones.
Thank you to Mrs Cougan for organising our Scottish Assembly and to everyone who took part.
This week P2 welcomed storyteller Paraig McNeil who told us lots of Scottish stories. We learned about tartan and foods and Scottish tradition.
At home we have been learning Scot’s songs and poems. I am happy that so many in the class had the confidence to recite these in front of all the other pupils.
Well done to Iona and Jacob who were voted to recite their poems at the Assembly.

Just a reminder that tomorrow, Friday 25th January, is not a dress down day as it is our Scottish Celebration Assembly. Children are permitted to wear tartan with their school uniform.
As part of our Scottish celebrations we welcomed Padraig McNeil into school on Tuesday to visit all our classes and the nursery. He shared traditional Scottish stories and tales with the children.
Our Parent Partners have kindly donated a Scots Hamper. Tickets are available at the school office or at our Scottish Celebration Assembly on Friday. Tickets cost £1. There will also be bags of tablet available to purchase at our Assembly on Friday costing £1.00.
There are still tickets available for our Scottish Celebration Assembly on Friday 25th January at 9:15am. These can be collected at the office or requested by returning the slip on the recent letter sent home. We are now opening the tickets to more than two per family if requested.
The works have commenced today at Fraser Park for the new Pump Track, it is predicted that this will take approximately 3 weeks. There are safety fences in place and we have explained to the children the importance e of them not entering the boundaries, could you please reinforce this at home.
Our next fundraising meeting is on Thursday 24th January at 6:30pm, come along and share your ideas.
