Hibs Summer Camp

It was great to see many people coming back to school on Friday afternoon for the Magic Show organised by our PTA.  We all really enjoyed it and it was just lovely to see the children getting so involved! A huge thank you to everyone on The PTA for organising this event for us and to all the parents who came along to help supervise during the show.

Weather permitting Sports Day is planned for the morning of 8 June 2107 and we hope as many of our parents and carers are able to come along and join in the fun of cheering on our houses for this event. We aim to get started as soon as classes are registered and out on the field ready.

The family picnic on the field after Sports Day last year was really successful and we loved having everyone stay for lunch so we plan to extend this invitation to everyone again this year. If you would like to and are able to stay for a picnic lunch with your children after Sports Day please bring a picnic, picnic rugs etc. with you. School lunches on the 8^th of June will be a picnic lunch so we can all join in.

P6B had a great couple of days and overnight stay at Fordell Firs this week! The days were packed full of caving, climbing, orienteering, night walks, wide games and campfires!

Dear Parent/Guardian,

One of the biggest highlights of the May Fayre is the raffle. For the last couple of years as well as 3 ‘main’ prizes we have made hampers with donations from the children. These are really popular and we hope to do the same for this year. We have a hamper for each school year group, each with a theme.

We would appreciate it if your child could bring in a donation towards their year’s themed hamper – we’ve given a couple of examples of suggested donations below, but could be absolutely anything related to the theme – this is of course, completely voluntary.

As a wee thank you to the children for doing this, we are having a ‘dress down’ day on Friday 19^th May. If your child can bring in their donation on this day, we’d be grateful so that we can get the hampers made up before the Fayre on Saturday 27th. Donations can be brought in via school bags, Ms Hourston has kindly offered to store them in her office.

Many thanks for your help and support,

Many thanks to everyone who has sent in old newspapers already but we still need lots more for our cluster P7 event on the 23^rd of May 2017! If anyone has any old newspaper that you have read, please send them into school this week.

On the 10th of May 2017 P5&6 went to the Oriam at Heriot Watt University. There was a lot of different activities like: frisbee, football, dodge ball, netball, basketball and healthy living. Healthy living isn’t a sport however what we did was talk about lots of different food groups and then we played ‘guess the food’ challenge.

We were helped by the Lloyds banking group. They were volunteers for the day. To help they gave us loads of support and helped us through our day. We had group names such as: Currie Stars, Currie Super Squad, Savage Potatoes and Currie Warriors. We also had to create a cheer. One cheer was, “1234 we are Currie Warriors”. It was so much fun.

After we did all the activities we went to a hall to do a ceremony. There were two trophies. One was for team spirit and the other one was for the team that had the most points. One of our teams won the competition cup which was a fantastic achievement. After they handed out the trophies everyone got a medal. We also got a picture of everyone that took part in the event. We then walked back to the school.

Our favourite part of the day was:

Dodgeball, football and netball. Everyone had an amazing time. Thank you to all the staff that works at the Oriam and a massive thank you to the  Lloyds Banking group. 

This is what the winning team had to say:

“I think we did really well. We put our individual talents together to forge the trophy into our grasp. We got put into our team and we were all surprised to be in the same team. With everyone being friends we had good chemistry. We all did our best and tried our hardest. We are all proud of each other.

Well done to everyone in P5 and P6. As always the children were enthusiastic, polite and gave it their all. Our winning cup is displayed proudly in reception if you would like to see it.

A great thank you to the parent helpers who took us to the Oriam. It wasvery much appreciated.
