What a week for our boys and girls of P6 this week!
Some of the biggest news of the week came in the form of house captain elections! As the P4, P5 and P6 classes split into their house teams there was an air of anticipation in the school… The staff were blown away by the confidence of our young people and the fantastic communication skills they displayed in delivering their presentations to their peers. There were stickers, tshirts, imovies, sways, PowerPoint- the lot. Mrs Purdie announced the new captains and vice captains at the assembly that afternoon – we are delighted to congratulate Evie, Jan, Mark, Brooke, Adrin, Mirren, Joseph and Marcella and wish them every success in their roles next year.
Some of our other candidates were understandably disappointed but we spoke about the work we have been doing to ‘build resilience’ and took comfort in the other roles and responsibilities we will have as the Primary 7 cohort next year! It was lovely to see how supportive and compassionate our children are in this situation.
As if we thought any news would be bigger than the house captain elections…….. but Mrs Purdie has only gone and won the headteacher of the year award!! The boys and girls are SO excited for her (as you could see on our Twitter video) and couldn’t wait to congratulate her in person!

In amongst all this excitement, some of our pupils completed the west Lothian schools triathlon event at Dean’s CHS which resulted in them receiving a wonderful medal! We also had lots of fun with our P1 buddies on their induction days on Tuesday and Wednesday!
Next week is wellbeing week – we have been tasked with the challenge of learning hand massage to deliver to the rest of the school over the course of the week – make sure to ask for yours on Tuesday!
Have a great weekend!
