Another week of Springfield successes!

-Thank you to all of our P7 pupils, Mr Logan and Mrs Reid for organising and running a brilliant Sports Day on Wednesday.

-A special mention to Anna in P5 for being a ‘sporting hero’ and to Mrs Hutton too for leading our school Boccia Club for the whole of this year.  We continue to work hard to promote fairness and equity and to include all children in sport across school. We are so proud of you A! 💫⭐️

-Well done to all children who received a sports award (including A, mentioned above) at The Sports Personality of the Year Awards which we held in school yesterday. Congratulations to Sam in P7 for being recognised for his all round sporting excellence and good sportsmanship.

— A super effort from our Springfield children has resulted in ZP in P6 gaining first prize in the Transition Linlithgow ‘Reduce the use of Plastic Straws’ poster competition.  We also have the third place winner, MMc in P6 too! In addition, a number of childen had their work  commended.  See the photo below for all children who were successful in the competition. We will have a special visitor in school next week to present Z with her prize. More news to follow…

-H in P2 came along to see me this week after further success in gymnastics. Well done H!

-H in P2 wrote a brilliant acrostic poem this week about keeping healthy which tied in nicely with Fitness Week. Great work H!

Have a super weekend everyone! Remember that we have no school next Tuesday for Marches Day.

We held out annual committees assembly today where our P4-7, ‘pupil voice’ groups fed back their work from this year to the wider school.

Our Pupil Council have held a variety of fundraisers to raise money to buy things for our school.

Our Rights, Respecting Schools Committee have worked to embed our Level 1 status and help us to move towards gaining Level 2 next session with a possible link with an international school being made.

Our Junior Road Safety Committee have worked hard this year to get less cars making the ‘school run’  and more children walking or cycling  to school instead.

Our Eco Committee have formed partnership links with Burgh Beautiful and the Transition Linlithgow project and have worked hard to garden, litter pick and encourage us all to reduce plastic waste.

Our Sports Commitee have helped to organise fitness week, promote sport across school and support staff to deliver P. E lessons.

Our Health and Wellbeing Committee have increased understanding of how to stay fit and active and how to promote positive mental health.

Our Digital Learning Commitee have supported the use of Education City and Sumdog across school and have recently piloted the use of ‘Scratch’ as a tool to teach coding.

We are delighted with the work that all of our children have led to improve all aspects of our school and thank our staff for supporting this.

Next session we aim to include our infants in committee groups. Watch this space for more news come next session…

What a fantastic show for Springfield at the George Allan event this morning. We are so proud of each and every child who played football to their highest ability and also to our Springles cheerleaders who turned out this morning to add some sparkle to the proceedings. Thank you so much to Mr Logan and Gail Rankine for coaching our footballers to success.

Well done to everyone and thank you to all parents, family and friends who came out to cheer us along. Springfield shone!

This week started with a special visit for P4-7 from the Deacons Court of Linlithgow and an introduction to our new Provost. We were happy to meet our Provost and on behalf of our school, we wish him all the very best for his first Marches Day next month. Some of our children and Mr Wells even got to dress up as Baillies!

We also talked about the Decorated Bicycle competition on Marches Day  which two of our lovely pupils won last year. We’d love it if lots of our pupils could enter this year with the help of some talented Mums and Dads! 😉

Our assembly today was an important one led by the NSPCC. All children were reminded of how to keep safe and how to speak up and use their voices if something in their lives isn’t right. We also reminded ourselves of the Childline number in case we needed to speak to a safe grown up about a problem. The NSPCC will be back in school next eeek to run workshops for our P6-7 classes to follow-up on the issues mentioned in assembly. It is our job at Springfield to safeguard all children and protect children’s rights.

We have had a number of pupil achievements this week. Here are our latest successes:

-To I, E and A congratulations for taking part in the Sunny Stars show! I especially loved E playing the part of Princess Jasmine as I’d quite like to be her myself! I loved the costume too! 😊

-C in P2 ran a a fun run recently and deserves a ‘well done’ for doing very well.

– A in P5 has completed the recent Race for Life with her Mum and we are proud of her.

-F in P3 has been very busy gaining some more Girls Brigade badges. Super work F!

-E in P5 got a brilliant silver medal in a recent gymnastics competition. Well done E!

-H in P5 continues to do brilliantly in rugby. You superstar H!

Finally a very ‘Happy Birthday’ to three of our infant children including M and one of our gorgeous sets of twins!

Good luck to our school football team and our Springles cheerleaders who will perform at the George Allan match on Sunday. You will do us proud, of that we are sure!

Have a lovely weekend in the sunshine!

Love,

Miss Baillie xx💖🌞
