The dorms are good everyone loves having showers.
We have just been at circus skills, we were juggling, using devils sticks and spinning plates. We are missing you and cant wait to see you.

Lagganlia Update October 6, 2008
Posted by Steve Wood in : Events, P7 , 21comments| October 6, 2008 | to | October 10, 2008 |
We have had a great day and everybody is buzzing and looking forward to the rest of the week. The journey was long- we arrived at 1.01pm, but well worth it. The trip on the bus was a smooth one, hardly anybody felt ill.
On arrival groups were quickly out and about doing their one activity of the afternoon - mountain biking, orienteering, ropes course and tree climbing. After that the children made their own beds, although some are still to be made!
Everyone has been fed, tonights menu was lentil soup, pasta bolognaise and chocolate crispy cake (double cream optional). currently the children are out in the woods kitted out in helmets and goggles doing the nightline course.
Tomorrow I will get some children to write and hopefully we will have some photos of them in action.
Tesco Great School Run 2008 June 20, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : P6, P7 , 19commentsCongratulations to everyone in P7a, P7b and P6/7 who took part in the race today!
We were really impressed by how hard everyone tried and there were some great fancy dress outfits! Thank you to Mrs Borthwick and Mrs McCloud for their help on the field and for all the P4s who came along to support us -it made a huge difference! Mrs Slight took a couple of photos so maybe we can get them up on here soon.
It sounds like this last fund-raiser could be one of our best, so please remember to bring your sponsorship money in on Monday folks!
There were 13 dedicated runners in Wave 1, and the results were:
1st place = Chris C
2nd place = Dean B
joint 3rd place = Liam T and Robson McC
Friday 13th@Campie: No Bad Luck… Just Crazy Hair! June 13, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : P6, P7 , 4commentsP6/7 came up with a great idea for a whole school fund raiser -Crazy Hair Day! Children and staff were asked to pay a 50p donation to spend the day in a crazy wig, or with their hair in bunches, pleats and spikes, and spray painted in wild colours and glitter! Some people must have been up very early this morning to get their creations ready on time!
Hopefully the organisers themselves can add to this post very soon, but in the meantime, here are some shots from P7b:

The P7 Leaver’s Dance was very kindly organised by the Parent Council, and was a roaring success! Everyone had a great time dancing the night away. I am sure there will be lots of comments here from the P7s, as they were still buzzing about it this morning!

| 9:30 am | to | 10:30 am |
As a final fundraising event for the Simpsons Special Care Babies charity, P7 pupils will be taking part in this year’s Tesco Great School Run. This is a national event, and will be held in schools throughout the UK on Friday 20th June.
Pupils will complete a 2k route as a 7 lap race around Olivebank. Pupils can run, jog or walk… or a mixture of all three! Anyone wishing to complete it in fancy dress is welcome to do so!
P7 pupils will be collecting sponsors for this event over the next week and will have the opportunity to practice on some lunch breaks and during Golden Time.
It will be a real challenge for many, and should be great fun!
P7 on Lammerlaw June 10, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : P7 , 7commentsOver the past two weeks Mrs Stark took P7s to Lammerlaw for full day expeditions to the Hopes Reservoir area. The hills were steep and the heather springy, and the sheep were a bit bemused by the strange new (noisy) additions to their land! All sorts of wildlife was spotted and many had to dig deep to reach the top of some tough climbs -well done everyone! Thank you Mrs Stark!
Schools of Rock! May 30, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : P7 , 2commentsPrimary 7 pupils are taking part in a very exciting transition project that is happening across the Musselburgh cluster. We are using the Guitar Hero software as a tool for learning and playing! Pupils are forming their own bands, writing songs and music tracks, designing logos and much, much more!
We will be posting lots of information about the work that we are doing in June, but for now here are a couple of photos of P7b in action!
Choices for Life May 22, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : P7 , 13commentsYesterday Primary 7s headed to The Royal Highland Conference Centre for something really different: Choices For Life.
There were hundreds and hundreds and HUNDREDS of 11 and 12 year olds from all across Edinburgh and the Lothians, and many of them also had blue jumpers, but luckily this didn’t cause too much confusion in the end!
Choices For Life is a show designed to highlight the difficult choices pupils will face in regards to peer pressure, fitting in, tobacco, drugs and alcohol as they move up through secondary school. There were real life stories, a mini-soap, a game show, a very powerful play, and lots and lots of music to jump around to!
It was a really great concert and I am sure that there will be lots of comments here about it!
Slideshow to follow shortly!
