Great School Run 2009! June 19, 2009
Posted by Miss Collins in : P6, P7 , add a commentWe’d done the training.
We’d planned our outfits.
We’d made our race numbers.
We’d had lots of extra water….
It was time for the Great School Run 2009 at Musselburgh Rugby Club!
140 pupils from P7 and P6 took part today in the 2k race around the rugby pitch (7 laps!) to raise money for WaterAid and Make-A-Wish Foundation. After all our training it was great to see everyone enjoying the occasion and many pupils running far faster and far further than they’d ever done before! We are so proud of you all!
Thank you very much to Craig McGeary for arranging for us to use MRFC ground as was fantastic to have so much space for spectators and runners. Thank you also to all the staff, classroom assistants and parents that have been involved in all the training and for cheering everyone on on the big day. And thank you to all the friends and family that have offered sponsorship for these great charities. Oh yeah, and thank to the sun for keeping its hat on long enough for us to a have a very blustery but dry day for it!! I can’t wait for next year’s event!!!
Enterprising P6s Take 1st Place! June 17, 2009
Posted by Miss Collins in : Curriculum for Excellence, Enterprise, P6 , add a commentP6 pupils spent the day at Musselburgh Grammar School yesterday for an Enterprise Me event. Campie pupils joined forces with pupils from Loretto RC and Musselburgh Burgh Primary Schools to form teams of around 8. They were set the challenge of coming up with a company name and logo, and then, with the Homecoming Scotland theme, produce a collection of Scottish gifts for ‘Gifts Galore’.
Within each team pupils organised themselves into buyers, designers, production, quality control managers, sellers, finance managers and managing directors. They all worked collaboratively to produce as many good quality bookmarks, postcards, gift tags, table decorations and birthday cards as possible within a few hours. Selling to the buyers gave them cheques to cash at the bank and this money was either spent on more materials or kept as profit.
Everyone worked really hard and produced some fantastic gifts!!
There were two special awards handed out at the end of the day: Team Making Most Profit and Team Producing Highest Quality. Our pupils formed part of both winning teams, and, in fact, the most profitable team was 100% Campie! Well done everyone! 
A Marathon-Sized THANK YOU! June 5, 2009

Sunday turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year… so not great for a first marathon experience!! However, it was made so much better by all the support I had along the route -especially here in Musselburgh! Other runners got a bit jealous! Thank you so much to everyone who gave me a cheer, a wave or even made a banner!
My marathon was part of our fund-raising for WaterAid, and I would also like to give a big ‘thank you’ to all the pupils, parents and staff who have sponsored me for the event! So far I have collected a massive £266.20! Well done everyone!

Posted by Miss Collins in : Uncategorized , add a commentAs you will be aware, Campie Primary School is raising money for the charity WaterAid this year.
WaterAid is an international charity whose mission is to overcome poverty by enabling the world’s poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.
As part of our fundraising Miss Collins will be running 26.2 miles in the Edinburgh Marathon on the 31st May. It is her first ever marathon and, as the course passes through and finishes in Musselburgh, any waves and shouts of support along the route would be very welcome to keep her going! Look out for the WaterAid logo and a bright blue tutu!
Next week pupils will have the opportunity, on a purely voluntary basis, to sponsor Miss Collins for this event.

Health Week April 30, 2009
Posted by kmcnaughton in : P1 , add a commentWe have been learning how to keep healthy. We tasted flavoured water - there was kiwi, lemon and grape flavour! Apparently! We also made some posters of us doing healthy stuff like running, swimming and eating strawberries. We did Judo and we saw the dentist.

Busy start to term 3! April 23, 2009
Posted by kmcnaughton in : P1 , add a commentWe have been doing stuff about stories. We looked at The Smartest Giant in Town, A Squash and a Squeeze and Sharing a Shell. Julia Donaldson is the author of the books we read. We were learning about lists. We made a list about the monkeys in Day Monkey, Night Monkey and what they were scared of. We worked together to make a rock pool from the story Sharing a Shell.
We also looked at books about castles to find out what we wanted to learn about castles. We made up some questions that we will try to answer.
Everything has been interesting!
