On Friday 23rd March the Magale Group have organised:
Movies for Magale
Children have a choice to watch one of 7 different films on Friday morning, for a contribution to our partner school in Magale. They can also purchase popcorn for 30p.
As world autism day is on 2nd April, for the dress down day on Friday 23rd March we are asking children to #LightItUpBlue and wear blue to raise awareness of autism for a small donation.
All money raised on this day will go to Magale.
Due to the success of our Families Reading Together sessions during World Book Week, our community library would now like to offer them every Thursday during term time.
We look forward to seeing you there!
We used a talking box this week in nursery to talk about keeping ourselves safe at home. We discussed things we should not touch and looked closely at household items and photographs of objects. Our knowledge of our personal safety is continuing to develop.
Here are some of our comments:
Emily: “My mummy puts the plugs in. You would get electricity”.
Demilouize:Â “You would maybe get ‘electricitied'”.
Lucy:Â “You would get a shock”.
Zachary: “Those are sharp. They are so sharp you might cut your finger”.
Millie: “If you touch hot water it will burn you”.
Grace: “Hair straighteners are hot”.
Callum:Â (Kettle) “You would burn your hands”.
Sara: ” You can burn yourself”. (Scissors) – ” Big ones for adults, you can cut your fingers.
Kiannah:Â “The red ones are much sharper”.
Heidi: ” We get safe cos we don’t want anything to happen”.

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!
