Breich House Party

Breich received the most house points for term 2 and decided on a Pyjama Party as their house treat. Everyone dressed up in their pjs or onesies and the Primary 7s had organised lots of game like corners and sleeping lions. Thank you to our house and vice captain of Breich for organising such a fun party!

Scottish Assembly

Today we celebrated all things Scottish at our Annual Scottish Assembly. 

Primary 1-4 submitted two finalists and Primary 5-7 submitted 3 finalists from their classes to recite a Scots or Burns poem.

A huge thank you to our judges Dr Hughes from the Robert Burns World Federation and Mr Jenkins, a local friend of our school who is in the Burns Federation. The winner from each class will be entered into the West Lothian Burns Competition.

We had some fantastic dancing Scottish.

P2 – Learning about Scotland

As part of their Scots focus, Primary 2 has been looking at the work of Scottish Artist, Charles Rennie Macintosh. The class created a pencil drawing of the famous rose design by the artist.

We have also been reading a Scottish book about a cat who lives in Morningside called “What Maisie did next” by the author, Eileen Paterson.  We were able to identify Scottish vocabulary in the text and the class designed a new kilt for Maisie to wear!

The children all performed their Scots poems in class, speaking clearly and confidently. Well done to Emma and Iona, who have been chosen to perform their poems at the Scots Assembly tomorrow. Good luck!

The Sair Finger by Walter Wingate

You’ve hurt your finger? Puir wee man!
Your pinkie? Deary me!
Noo, juist you haud it that wey till
I get my specs and see!

My, so it is – and there’s the skelf!
Noo, dinna greet nae mair.
See there – my needle’s gotten’t out!
I’m sure that wasna sair?

And noo, to make it hale the morn,
Put on a wee bit saw,
And tie a Bonnie hankie roun’t
Noo, there na – rin awa’!

Your finger sair ana’? Ye rogue,
You’re only lettin’ on.
Weel, weel, then – see noo, there ye are,
Row’d up the same as John!

Mince and tatties by JK Annand

I dinna like hail tatties
Pit on my plate o mince
For when I tak my denner
I eat them baith at yince.

Sae mash and mix the tatties
Wi mince into the mashin,
And sic a tasty denner
Will aye be voted ‘Smashin!’

Good Bye to Mrs Hamilton & Ms Cook

On the last day of term we sadly said goodbye to Mrs Hamilton and Ms Cook.

We will Ms Cook’s smiley face and nurturing relationships with our children. We wish her well in her new post closer to home at Bankton Primary.

We will miss Mrs Hamilton’s enthusiasm and commitment to our children including the school basketball team. We wish her well in her new post closer to home at Williamston Primary.

Primary 1 and 2 sang them a song and presented them with cards and gifts from the whole school and staff.
