Gullane Primary School

The P7 class were joined today by Marjory Sweeney (Drama Specialist) and Brian English (Film Producer) to begin their Media Enterprise Project. We looked at script, scene, camera angles, editing, sound and storyboarding. We also turned a short scene into a film clip. It was a great day. Have a look below at our pics and film and keep checking the Media Project Blog in P7s Blog for more updates.

Today Primary 3/4 and 5 were very lucky to meet some special new arrivals in the Chalmers’ home.

Mrs Chalmers very kindly bought the new springer spaniel pups to school for the children (and some of the staff) to meet!

The puppies are adorable and we had a lovely time cuddling them.

Which one is your favourite?

On Thursday, Primary 4/5 led the Harvest Assembly and did a fantastic job!

Have a listen to the beautiful Harvest song which they sang to us

The children at Gullane Primary school were treated to a drumming taster session from a professional.  Mr Robertson let us hear a range of different drumming styles from reggae to rock.  He has been back every friday since to teach some classes a little bit more about technique.

Seven children from Primaries 5, 6 and 7 played in the Annual Babe Zaharias Golf Competition on Friday 6 June 2008.  It was a beautiful night in direct contrast to last year when it could not have been wetter!  For several of these children it was their first full round and they should be proud of themselves.  They all put in a good score and conducted themselves very well.  They were each given a small goody bag by Mr Gillies who set them off and marked their cards on return.  Gullane Golf Club and John Greer - compliments of Mrs Tremmel - ensured that all players and scorers enjoyed sandwiches, chips and juice in the Clubhouse afterwards.

The results were: Winner and best P7 player - Oliver Ladbrooke;       Best P6 player - James Fox; Best P5 player - Rachel McAnany;                Best Girl player - Sarah Dunlop; Nearest the Pin at the 15th - Adam Munro; All prizes (provided by Clubgolf) will be presented at the Achievement Assembly on Tuesday 17 June 2008 to which all parents are cordially invited.

Each year various bodies are asked to comment on the school session dates.  East Lothian Council and Edinburgh City endeavour to match up dates as we have the most common home to work travel.  You are able to view  dates for 2009-2010 on this website.  If you have any comments either leave a post on this website or e-mail our school office and we will forward to East Lothian Council. 

Hopefully everyone has had a recent health newsletter, if not just let us know and we will get you one. We have been very busy in the health committee this term, we have:

• Put in our friendship bench
• Written rules for the bench
• Created class playground buddies
• Taught P7 some playground games to play with people in the playground
• Visited Law Primary to look at shelters
• Done a mini project on the playground to try and get funds for a shelter 
• Primary 7 have presented a bullying presentation of homemade movies to the school and Dirleton School
• Organised for an anti - bullying theatre to come and perform a play on bullying
• Taken LOTS of our learning out doors and helped the Eco Committee with their vegetable and wildlife garden
• The staff have all contributed to the school development plan for next year
• Mrs McGrane has written up all the great work that we have done in Gullane and sent it off to be assessed. 

So fingers crossed - we have handed in stage 2 Health Accreditation.
