Good morning.
It’s time to meet another of our Primary 1 teachers at Simpson Primary. Today, we’d like to introduce you to Mrs MacCallum. Like all of our teachers she is looking forward to meeting the new boys and girls starting with us in August but is also missing her current class. We hope you enjoy the story today. Please follow the link below to the video.
Mr Weir
Please follow the link below to give our nursery pupils the chance to meet our first Primary 1 teacher and for our current Primary 1 pupils to hear Mr McPherson reading a story.
Enjoy.
Good morning everyone.
As part of our Nursery to Primary 1 transition, involving both Nursery and P1 pupils, each day this week a video to introduce the P1 staff will be uploaded to our new youtube channel. This is a great opportunity for both groups of pupils to meet/catch up with their teacher reading a story. We hope you enjoy them.

Good morning everyone. Please click on the link below to access the Wellbeing Check-in Form discussed in Friday’s assembly. As I mentioned, it is really important that our pupils complete this form so that we know if there is anything else we can do to support their wellbeing at this time. The deadline for completion is Friday 29th May.

Hello everybody,
I hope you are enjoying spending time with your family this Easter. As you know, we have been working to improve our school playground and have recently had a number of new playground markings/games painted on the ground. Our Parent Council have told us about an amazing competition where we have the chance to win £10 000 to make our playground even better.
Click here and it should direct you to the competition documents. I’d really like you to complete the tasks and ask your parents to submit your competition entry via email to play@creativeplayuk.com by 1st May. I would also ask that you include the school email address (wlsimpson-ps@westlothian.org.uk) in your entries so I can get an idea of the improvements you would like to see. There are quite a few tasks to do so make sure you don’t run out of time!
Creative Play and I want to see what you’re doing, so please ask parents to share your photo on social media tagging @CreativePlayUK, @SimpsonPrimary and the hashtag #playgroundprize. Please make sure your name is not posted alongside your picture due to West Lothian policy. If we get a lot of people using the tags, it will get our school really well known with the company and hopefully improve our chances of winning!
Have fun, get creative and I’m looking forward to seeing your ideas.
Mr Weir
Please note a change of date for Primary 3c’s Open Morning. This will now take place on Wednesday 14th November from 9:30 until 10:30am. This is a change of date for P3c only! All other open mornings remain unchanged.
As detailed in the School Newsletter, Simpson Primary will be taking part in #HappyShoesday on Tuesday 22nd May to celebrate Walk to School Month. Children can wear their favourite shoes/trainers to school (no High Heels please) or they can decorate an old pair of shoes with a happy theme – the more creative, the better! There will be no donations required – all we want is for the children to have a bit of fun and to encourage as many as possible to walk to school.
Thank you for your support.
Having lots of fun at the Construction After School Club. Today’s challenge was to build the tallest free standing structure.
Congratulations to our Golden Lock winners for Sustrans Scotland’s Big Pedal initiative. They were very happy with their prizes. I’m sure you’ll hear them coming when they ring their brand new bike bell.
We’re stuck in traffic. New ETA 16:50
