THE VIRTUAL SPORTS DAY RESULTS ARE IN!

What a great virtual sports week we had last week! Huge thank you to Mrs Reid for organising our daily sports challenges and gathering together all of our scores and also to our class teachers for sending out lots of fun and engaging sport-related tasks and activities for us to try.

Well done to all of our pupils, parents, carers and families who got involved, it was lovely to see photos and videos of what you’ve all been getting up to! We’ve had over 180 pupils submit scores, 1,800 daily challenges completed and travelled the equivalent of Edinburgh to Leicester in the house distance challenge! That’s a massive 391 kilometres!

I’m sure you’re all eager to hear who is this year’s winning house and the new holders of the House Cup, but there’s one more little step to take before you can find out. Click on the link below to see the results from the week, including: our winning house, the highest scoring pupil in each class, the winners of the house distance challenge and even our top 3 parents!

A Community Based on Respect

Today we focused on the Wellbeing Indicator, ‘being respected ’ in assembly. We made links between this indicator, our school values and the Rights Respecting School articles. Children learned about our climate of ‘mutual respect’ and specifically how the adults in school respect children and how we can all respect each other.

We treat each other as equals, regardless of our skin colour, gender or religious belief knowing that we are all different and beautiful in our own individual way.

We reflected together on these important words:

You are important

Your are smart

You are special

You are kind

By saying kind words to ourselves, we show respect for who we are.  Respecting ourselves on a daily basis helps to build us up so that we that we can go on to do great things.

How have you shown respect for yourself and for others today?

Have a great weekend everyone!

A Week Full of Learning at SPS and Bonnytoun!

We have come to the end of another busy   week of learning at Springfield and Bonnytoun. Our children in school had the chance to take part in a number of STEM workshops led by Generation Science.

P6-7 pupils had the chance to attend a Careers’ Fayre which was held on Wednesday night and saw a great turn out of support from our partner agencies and families. We continue to build a wider range of different partners in our local community and beyond to enhance our curriculum and help children to develop skills for learning, life and work.

The children at Bonnytoun have had a lovely couple of days this week welcoming their Grandparents into the nursery to play and learn.

Today, Miss Harrison and P3A led a highly informative assembly on endangered species. All children spoke articulately and confidently as they showcased their learning through the PowerPoint presentations  that they had made.

Pupil Achievements this week:

– Well done to F in P4 for winning a medal for running! Great effort F!

-Congratulations to B in P6 for her certificates gained through skiing and horse riding!

We are proud of you both girls!

Have a lovely holiday weekend everyone,

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!
