P3 Fairtrade Assembly

We have begun to think about Fairtrade across School in the run up to Fairtrade Fortnight. Primary 3 launched this year’s focus through their excellent assembly yesterday , when children learned about the journey of a cocoa bean and how Fairtrade chocolate is produced. We understand the importance of giving farmers a fair price for their produce to ensure that we live in a world where we treat others as equals and with respect. Keep your eyes peeled for some more Fairtrade Activities happening in School and around our community over the next few weeks…. Well done to Primary 3 and Mrs Leadbetter!

I was treated to a very impromtue but exciting performance by Primary 2 this week who have begun to learn the basics of drumming. Our ‘musical whizz’, Miss Prince, will be working with the class over the next while to teach some exciting music lessons with drumming being the first focus.

P4B’s Super Scottish Assembly!

Thank you to Primary 4B and Mrs McAlpine for their hard work in putting together last Friday’s assembly. Following on from the previous week’s assembly, the class chose to stick with the Scottish theme and they showcased their many talents as they shared examples of our culture. The children had also made wonderful models of Scottish landmarks which were on display for the audience to look at. Well done to all of those involved!

Scottish Assembly

Yesterday we celebrated ‘all things Scottish’ through music, poetry recitals and singing in our special assembly. Thank you to Primary 6 for sharing the lovely performance that they gave to Linlithgow Day Care Centre last Tuesday. What a talented class of children Miss Prince has! For the past few weeks we have been busy working on a whole-school focus on Famour Scots. Each stage has been learning about a different Famous Scot and how their work has contributed to society today. All classes nominated two or three pupils to come up to the microphone in assembly, to share their learning. We are so proud of our Scottish culture and of the many talented individuals who have come from our country. We shall all keep trying hard in School to see if we can be the Famous Scots of the future!

Have a great weekend everyone!
