Kindness is a Superpower!

We have had a lovely week in school as we return from Easter break and move into Term 4.

Today we held our termly, ‘values assembly’ where we look closely at our values and reflect together. Did you know that kindness is a superpower? At least, at Springfield and Bonnytoun, we believe it to be so.

We talked about the power of a small act of kindness and how with repeated small acts, we can create a ‘kindness movement.’ Kindness can change the world!

Fostering positive mental health in our children, is one of our main priorities in school and nursery. Today we learned that is important that we treat ourselves with kindness and have kind ‘inner voices.’ We learned how to turn the negative things that we may think or feel about ourselves into positive comments. This is very important for our wellbeing. We will continue to work on this concept with all children, including our youngest.

Let’s be kind to ourselves and kind to others. We are all unique and we all have talents to share.

Happy weekend everyone!

Springfield Clean-Up!

Thank you to a number of volunteers in our community and several children in our school who cleaned up the area around the Park recently.

We work so hard to prevent litter from blowing in our playground and pick up what we can. We have just ordered special new bins which should hopefully contain litter a bit better. Watch this space!

Thank you everyone!

A Week of Performances at SPS and Bonnytoun

Our children continue to make us extremely proud with another week of successful performances.

Mrs Gordon was delighted with her group of P4 and P5 girls who took part in the West Lothian Schools Dance  Competition and performed brilliantly!

Our P6 and P7 children ‘blew us away’ with their Scottish Opera performance entitled, 1719. All children sang and danced their hearts out and were a credit to their parents and our school.

In addition, our Glee ‘superstars’took to the stage last night at Howden Park Centre and amazed the audience with their strong vocal and dance moves. We also came away with the trophy for the best ‘values’ displayed which we are delighted about!

A group of P6 and P7 children recently  received  awards in the Scottish Maths Challenge which is run in conjunction with Edinburgh University. Well done especially to Emily in P7 and Katie in P6 who both gained gold awards.

Lastly, our school chess team won at the inter-schools tournament today and we couldn’t be any more chuffed! What a fantastic win boys!

Mrs Kerr and P5 led a fun assembly today to tell us all about the work of Comic Relief and to help us to celebrate Red Nose Day.
