This week we have participated in ‘Rookie Rockstars’. We have learned songs about important topics such as bullying, being yourself, not discriminating, never giving up, forgiveness and respecting one another. Glynn and Chloe taught us the words and actions and included some fun challenges for staff and pupils. We recorded our songs and are looking forward to going to the concert next week.

At our Pumphie Pals session this morning we used How Good is our School to create key questions to help us reflect on our year. We then used this time to answer the questions reflecting on what went well and how we could be even better.
This information will be collated along with our staff and parent/ carers views to help form our priorities for next session.

You are invited to our final Families Learning Together session of this year.
You will have an opportunity to see some of the learning which your child has been involved in this session and to help them to set targets to improve and progress.
FLT is a great chance to spend time sharing learning with your child, talking about their progress and next steps and understanding more of what they are learning before parent appointments – any member of the family is welcome.
Your child will shortly receive a slip in their school bag, please complete the slip and return to school so we know who to expect on the day.

Today, we welcomed a coach from Triathlon Scotland/West Lothian Tri to come into school and coach some of the children in P5-7 who have expressed an interest in the upcoming West Lothian Schools Triathlon. They learned about what to expect on the day and had a chance to practise some transition drills. The children taking part all really enjoyed the session and we have had a message from the coach to say how well-behaved the children were. Well done to all that took part!
