Primary 3 Wedding
We held our wonderful wedding ceremony and reception yesterday where we all witnessed the marriage of Eden and Joshua.
It all began with hymns, vows, poetry and exchanging rings in the small hall. We were lucky enough to have a break in the weather to allow us to take outdoor pictures and then we all went back inside for the party! Speeches, food, cutting the cake, the first dance and a disco all took place and we had a fantastic time!
‘Williamston Remembers’ Book Launch
Yesterday at our Parent helpers Coffee morning we launched our World War 1 book- ‘Williamston Remembers’
This is a diverse collection of drawings, poetry, photographs and stories from our children and poignant memoirs from some of our families. It is a collection of facts from the past, and personal thoughts of individuals. it is a journey through learning where we can see World War 1 through the eyes of children. It is our act of commemoration ‘Lest we forget’
The book is on sale for all to buy. Any profit made will go to Poppy Scotland. Books cost £7.00 and are available from the school office.
What’s happening in P3
Wedding fever has come to primary three! We have been very busy writing invitations, creating orders of service, making favours and flowers and writing speeches. Darren came in to visit us this week and told us all about Christian weddings. Tomorrow we are creating wedding cakes as part of a P3 challenge, with the winning cake being the centrepiece at our wedding reception. We will be undertaking final preparations over the next few days, ready for our wedding ceremony and reception on Wednesday next week.
We have been very lucky to have a visiting teacher in class for the past few weeks. Miss Hao, who is based in James Young High School, has been teaching us about Chinese culture, language and characters. We found it quite tricky to speak Mandarin but enjoyed the experience.
We had great fun at sports day yesterday! We played a variety of sports challenges, took a shot at kurling and hoopla and ran our socks off in different races. We were all very tired but had lots of fun. Our teachers thought we showed wonderful sportsmanship and all tried really hard. A big thank you to our primary 7 helpers, who demonstrated each sports challenge station and kept scores for us.
Cool Creatures!
Primary 7 have had a wonderful day today with a very exciting visit with Calum from Cool Creatures. He brought along a variety of animals for us to meet. We were all extremely brave and learnt lots of new and fascinating facts which has enhanced our Science topic ‘Living Things’. We are very pleased that we chose to use our bake sale money to pay for the visit so thank you very much to everyone who purchased our baking! Have a look at some of the creatures that we all met today…
Congratulations Niamh
A big well done to Niamh Di Biasio from Primary 5b for coming 2nd in the P5 category of the inspire>aspire Values Poster Awards Programme. It was only at the award cermony at Glasgow University yesterday, that Niamh discovered she had achieved 2nd for primary 5. Schools throughout the Commonwealth can enter this competition so it is a wonderful achievement to have a pupil from Williamston be recognised.

A great night was had by all at the Young Writer Award Ceremony, at Howden Park Centre, on Thursday 11th June. Mac A Story thoroughly entertained us and we were very proud when Ryan and Grace went on stage to receive their awards. Unfortunately Abbie couldn’t join us on the evening but she still got a big round of applause when her name was mentioned. A book containing the stories from all the winners is available in school. Very well done to all of you!
