Scottish Parliament Visit

Primary 7 had a fantastic time yesterday with Angela from The Scottish Parliament.

They had the opportunity to work in their own political parties, create manifestos and hold an election. We had our very own Presiding Officer who had no problem calling out ‘ORDER’ when necessary. We used our debating skills to debate on a topic that we all voted on – Prohibition of Use of Wild Animals in Circuses. They even got to turn this into an Act at the end… And as the Queen has to sign it, I had the great pleasure of doing so.

We are looking forward to holding our own Election for our Primary 7 Leadership Team, and now have lots of skills that will help us to do so. 

Below are some photographs of our Party Leaders, and the Presiding Officer!

 

      

Outdoor area – Work in Progress

During the last term, three Primary 5/6 pupils recognised an area of their playground that they would like to develop. The girls organised an activity to raise funds in order to buy some supplies to make a start to this area.

Over the last few days of term the girls were delighted to see that the work was well underway to repair the trellis area that they identified. These P5/6 pupils have now been organising the next steps for this area when we return after the holidays. They plan to paint the trellis and have already begun collecting ornaments to decorate with.

P1 and Scripture Union

Last week Scripture Union came into school to work with classes. P1a and P1b had a great time watching and taking part in the story of “God’s Great Idea!”. Children learned about God’s plan, designed their very own inventions and created a head band with a light bulb showing themselves……God’s Great Idea!

This morning we had an assembly to celebrate all of the great sporting achievements of  2018/19. This year we have had lots of different clubs such as football, futsal, rugby, dancing cycling and invasion games. This year we have had a lot of different clubs but next year we want more. We would to thank all of our partners who have played a big part in helping us achieve our sporting excellence this year.

A Fun Filled Day at Low Port

Today we have been very busy outdoors!

Once kitted out in our waterproofs and wellies we all took part in canoeing and a forest adventure. We loved crawling through tunnels, walking up the stream and keeping our canoe afloat!

After dinner we got glammed up for our disco and were cutting some shapes on the dance floor.

We are all really tired today after lots of activities and looking forward to bed!

An early morning visit to Linlithgow Palace is planned for tomorrow, before heading home after lunch.
