Scottish Celebration Assembly
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:
- P2 – Jacob
- P3 – Sophie-Rose
- P4 – Eilidh
- P5 – Aaron
- P6 – Owen
- P7 -Lauren
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.

A wee taste of Scottish food and Dancing!
P2S had invited P1 to their class earlier this week to try some traditional Scottish foods and listen to some music. Some children decided to have a wee dance and try on some tartan. Mince and tatties went down very well along with some cheese and oatcakes. The children were able to talk about some food hygiene rules, practised spreading and helped to prepare the food.
Happy Burns Day!

Pumphie Pals: Our Playground
This week in Pumhie Pals the focus was our playground
We made a list of new toys and equipment we would like for the different zones in our playground.
We looked at different playground scenarios and how the people involved felt. We also thought about how some of the scenarios could be prevented or resolved.
