Congratulations to all of the finalists who performed at our Scots Assembly on Friday. The children all did an amazing job of performing their poems in front of us all. We also enjoyed music from Bella on her chanter and some wonderful highland dancing from many of our pupils. It was lovely to welcome back former pupils, Kelsey and Carah, who danced with their sister Kaycee.
Thank you to everyone for coming along. We hope you enjoyed joining us for assembly.
We are enormously proud of our P6 and P7 Sports Hall Athletics team who came 3rd in the finals on Monday over at Meadowbank Stadium. The team gave 100% in each of their events and cheered each other on throughout the whole day. There were 90 schools entered at the beginning of this competition last term and we are delighted with 3rd place! A huge thank you to Mr Donaldson, our PE Teacher, for getting the team ready and to all of the parents who accompanied the team to the events.
We are delighted to share that we have received the FairAchiever Award, the second step on our journey to becoming a Fairtrade School. Thank you to Mrs McGlynn and all of our Fairtrade Council for all of their work in promoting the work of Fairtrade across our school and to pulling the evidence together to submit for this award.
We had a lovely first day back in school today both in the classrooms and outside on the field at break and lunchtime playing in the snow! Some of our P4s started to build a very impressive igloo which other children continued to build when they came out at lunchtime.
Congratulations to Ethan in P5 who was a runner up in a competition to design a Christmas Card for our local MSP for Edinburgh Pentlands, Gordon Macdonald. Ethan took a trip to Tesco this morning to be presented with his prize, a £25 gift voucher and a selection box. Ethan’s design is just beautiful as I am sure you will agree.
Christmas Eve, children safe in their beds
Hoping for presents everyone said
Ringing of bells in the town square
Immediately filled with carollers everywhere
Santa’s here, as quiet as a mouse
To deliver presents to every single house
Much people are loved, much people are cared
As everyone shares and shares and shares
Seasons greetings to all
Erin Hurst P5B
Well done to all of our P2s who performed their nativity, ‘A Bundle of Joy’ this week. We hope you all enjoyed the show as much as we did.
