Springfield Primary School and Bonnytoun Nursery School
Spring Forward in Learning and Life – Becoming. Belonging. Believing.
Thank you to Mr Logan and P7B for reminding us of the importance of having a Growth Mindset, at assembly last Friday. We should always keep on trying to be the very best that we can be and persevere in the face of challenges that come our way. We will continue to promote the ‘Growth Mindset’ ethos at Springfield, since it is proven to have a beneficial impact on learning.

We are delighted to say that Mark Linton in P2/3 and Rebecca Hammond in P4B have won the Round Table Marches Magazine competition for Springfield Primary School. Mark’s picture of the Aqueduct and Rebecca’s poem about Linlithgow have been chosen to appear in the 2017 Marches Magazine. Both children will also receive a book token from the Round Table for their high standard of work. Well done to Mark and Rebecca! Once again, we are very proud!

We had such a lovely ‘end of term’ last week with our Easter Parade and Easter Church Service. Our Easter Parade was a new feature to SPS this year, but one that seemed very popular with both parents and children. For those of you who came along to see the children performing Easter songs in their wonderful Easter bonnets, I hope that you enjoyed it!
Happy holidays and Happy Easter everyone! See you all back at School on Tuesday 18th April for the start of our Summer term. Â Thank you so much for your ongoing support.

Well done to our Chess Club children for all of their efforts this session at the Tuesday, lunchtime club. The club has now finished for this session and will resume again in September 2017. Here are some pictures of the ‘end of session’ prizegiving. A special ‘well done’ to Oliver  Thompson who won an award for his overall performance and positive attitude towards chess.  Thank you so much to Mr Clarke and Mr Woodhouse, the volunteers who run the club and provide this amazing opportunity for our pupils. We are so grateful!

Well done everybody!!
It was such lovely weather on Monday, we went outside in the afternoon.  We are lucky to have some outdoor toys and equipment, a good selection so we can choose activities that suit us.
The future of Springfield School football team is looking good Mr Logan – some great skills being shown here!
  
A group of children decided to work together to build the longest cuboid they could – good teamwork guys!
  
  
We have continued our floating and sinking this week – carrying out experiments by ourselves and making our own boats.  There was a selection of materials available and we had to think about shape and design.  Most of the boats floated, for a little while at least and it was good fun talking about why they sank, what were the best designs and materials? We also thought about what we could do differently next time.
We were learning the ‘oo’ sound this week. Â We did lots of different ‘oo’ activities although we particularly liked playing with the ‘goo’ or ‘gloop’ – both good ‘oo’ words!
Looking back at some of my blogs I realised that I don’t post very many maths pictures, not that we don’t do much maths – I just seem to be too busy during maths time to take pictures!  Here are some of us working on subtraction this week.  We were looking at maths language – different word problems that mean we have to use subtraction to work out the answer and we are beginning to link addition and subtraction facts to improve our mental maths.
On Thursday it was our Easter Bonnet Parade. Â The Easter Bonnets were all fantastic – thank you very much for all your hard work. Â It was lovely seeing some of you at the parade, even though we were a little star struck and didn’t sing as loudly as we usually do!
On Thursday afternoon some of the children from Bonnytoun Nursery came for a visit.  They listened to a story with us and spent some time in the classroom.  Then we went outside for an Easter Egg hunt and some games.
We had a lovely Easter service at St Michael’s church on Friday, walking all the way there and back without a hitch or a grumble!  Well done guys – as usual you were little stars.  Also, a big thank you to the parents who helped us today.
Have a fantastic Easter break and I’ll see you in just over two weeks time.

Well we have done mainly Easter things this week and the children have really enjoyed it. We’ve done symmetrical eggs, Easter cards (which hopefully your child will remember to give at the appropriate time), Easter Maths, Spring Acrostic poems, the Easter story and various other activities. Culminating today in an Easter egg hunt. Oh also the Easter bonnet Parade and assembly. Have a good holiday everybody and look forward to seeing you back after the holidays.
Here’s a link to our performance of ‘When You Believe’, performed yesterday at the Easter Bonnet Parade. Enjoy 🙂
Well done to all involved, we raised a total of £716.86 for Comic Relief. This was £65.82 from Nursery, £307.06 from Mad Hair Dress down and £343.98 from the Bake Sale. Special mention to Lucy Roy and the whole Pupil Council Committee, they worked tirelessly all day.
