Longniddry Primary School

All of the Primary 5 pupils attended a Judo festival at Meadowmill Sports Centre on Monday 1st February 2010.  We were joined by other Primary 5’s from the cluster schools.  The children had great fun learning all the moves and being very active!  The children were all presented with a certificate for their attendance at the festival.

P5/6 spent a wet and soggy few hours finding out about orienteering. Everyone learned how to read maps and find markers. Each group was sent on different routes to find letter which spelled out words. It was a great, fun activity and we all enjoyed it very much!

Here are the dates for this year’s Parent Council meetings.  All parents and carers are welcome to join us for the meetings.  If you cannot attend a meeting, but would like to have an issue discussed, please contact your child’s year representative.

A HUGE well done to all of P6H who visited all of the shops in Longniddry and put forward their request for the shopkeepers to go plastic bag free for one day only, on Saturday 12th September and encourage their customers to bring a bag with them. All of the shops agreed to support the children’s request and offered to put up their poster.  So if you are out shopping in Longniddry on Saturday please take a bag with you.  They have also adopted Longniddry Bents and are busy exploring, discovering and conserving it as part of their John Muir award.  They would also like to invite you to help at their Beach Clean Event on Thursday 17th from 9.30-12pm , between car parks two and one.  The middle and upper primary classes will be involved in a litter pick up from the shoreline to the dunes and to add a bit off fun they will be dressed as pirates with nursery to P3 focusing on the school grounds.

Congratulations to Nicholas Dunn, one of our P7’s from last year, who is having a pice of writing published in the Scotland on Sunday. Nicholas wrote about his favourite place in Scotalnd as a class topic when he was in P7. His work will be published this weekend, so rush out and buy a copy of the newspaper! Well done Nicholas!

P1 and Miss Hart want to say a huge thank you to all the grandparents who kindly gave up their time to join us in school to tell us tales of life long ago.  We enjoyed all the stories and had great fun learning about the games you used to play.  This is what makes our learning meaningful and fun!

The forthcoming Parent Council AGM will be held on Wednesday 17th June 2009.  All parents and carers are welcome to join us for the meeting , which will be followed by some wine and nibbles.
