School Photographs – 26th February

The school photographer will be in school on Tuesday 26th February 2019 to take individual and group photographs.

ALL PUPILS will be photographed individually and in family groups where applicable, unless contact has been made with the school prior to this date.

A “proof” of the photographs will be sent home to you to and there will be several different photo pack options to choose from, if desired.

Morning nursery children should arrive at nursery promptly on this day as they will be the first to have their individual and sibling photographs taken.

Afternoon nursery children should arrive at nursery at the usual time of 12.18pm and they will be taken for their individual and sibling photographs by their teachers during the normal session.

I have arranged for the photographer to take photographs of pupils with younger brothers and sisters who do not attend the school. These photographs will be taken on Friday 1st March in the library, commencing at 8.30am. There will be a time slot system in place for these photographs and the school will inform you of your time.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Digital Directors Internet Safety Assembly

Our Digital Directors, led by Mrs McJimpsey, gave us a fabulous assembly on Friday.  There were lots of important messages about how to stay safe online.  All pupils had spent the week learning about internet safety.  This week, the Digital Directors have set a special home learning task:

Create a way to share the important messages of staying safe online.  This can be in the form of:

-a poster made on paper

-a digital poster

-a video

If taking part, these should be handed in/emailed to wlpuscps@westlothian.org.uk  by Friday 15th February.

We look forward to seeing these.

Club Wild – It’s never too cold for Blood Orange Sorbet!

We like to make and taste things at Club Wild. Mostly we use what we can find growing seasonally in the school garden or round and about in the orchard and hedgerows, but what could we find that grows at this time in the season?

Sarah-Jane told us that at this time of year she always thinks of citrus fruits,  making marmalade and of blood oranges.  Blood oranges are only available for us to buy in our supermarkets for a very short period between late January and March so we decided to try using them to make a simple blood orange ice  sorbet.

First we cut the oranges in half, some of the colours were amazing. The red pigments that we could see are the same anthocyanins that  are found in red autumn leaves. We squeezed the juice from the oranges and saved all the pips to plant later. Sarah-Jane boiled some sugar and water and then added it to our juice.  We gave it a quick stir and then popped it in the freezer.  In the morning, mashed together, our beautiful pink sorbet was ready. Gillon thought it was delicious and Huriyah gave it a definite thumbs up.  Even though it was so cold outside, it’s never too cold for our sweet and refreshing blood orange sorbet 😊.

Pupil Council Watch Annie at Kirkhill PS

Some of our Pupil Council had the opportunity to visit Kirkhill Primary and watch their production of Annie. They really enjoyed the experience and thought the show was excellent! Miss Burton also received an email from Miss McLaren, the Head Teacher at Kirkhill to say:

‘Your kids who came to the show were amazing … their behaviour and manners were exemplary and were an absolute joy to have in the school. I hope they enjoyed it.’.
