This morning our children were very excited to find out who their teacher would be for next session. They all enjoyed a getting to know you activity with their new teacher and we welcomed our new Primary Ones.
Our new Primary Ones and their families joined us for a Dine Together session, so they could sample our school lunches.
Our Primary 6 children were very excited about receiving their Primary 7 tie!

Healthy Snacks
As a health promoting school we would like to remind parents/ carers the importance of children bringing a healthy snack to school. Some of our children are bringing sugary candy style snacks, packets of biscuits and/ or share bags of crisps. These types of snack can obviously have a negative impact on their concentration levels, their health and teeth. We would appreciate it if children could bring a healthy snack with them for break times. Some examples may include, fruit, veggie sticks, crackers, cheese, etc.
Summer BBQ
Come and join us for our summer fundraising BBQ. There will be rugby games with parent Mr. Black from 6:15 pm, adult and child tug of war competitions at 7pm, along with sensory games, a treasure hunt, crafts, music and party games. All food will be cooked on the barbeque by parent Mr. Mellor, who is chef and there will be options for vegetarian and gluten free diets.
All food and games are included in the ticket price of £3 for an individual ticket or £10 for a family ticket. These can be purchased beforehand at the school office or on the day at the door. If the weather is not great, all the activities will be set up inside the school. Hopefully the sun will shine 😎
P1-7 Parent Ethos Questionnaire
Each session West Lothian issue a parent ethos survey for families to complete about your child’s school. The findings of this questionnaire, along with our school evaluations, help us to plan future improvements.
Thank you to everyone who has already taken part in the questionnaire. We would value if you could take ten minutes to complete the survey using the link below.

Stellar Writing Competition
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!
P4 Digital Learning
As part of Digital Learning Week P4 have been learning to create bar charts using Excel from data gathered about types of housing. This linked to our Interdisciplinary Learning Topic on our local environment through maths and technology. The children have explored different ways to record data, they have carried out surveys and then used the data to create the bar charts using Excel.
Some examples of our Excel bar charts.
