Celebrating Success ! May 20, 2008
Posted by Jackie Hunter in : Uncategorized , 5commentsAt our assembly today we shared lots of success with the whole school. It is amazing the number of achievements that are happening every day ! P5G did a very interesting assembly on the 3 Harbours.As well as that the girls football team were presented with the cup.Mr Spence will write a post with more details about their wins!
A word from Mr Spence
‘A big well done to Prestonpans Primary School Girls Football Team for winning the 2007-2008 Season League Cup.Four years ago we at the East Lothian Primary Schools Football Association saw that there were more girls wanting to play football.We therefore decided to have a separate cup competition for the girls.This was the John Home Robertson Cup and 12 teams entered and more girls wanted to play.
Last year we ran ,for the first time,a separate league for girls only but unfortunately we did not have a cup for the winners.This season we have managed to get a sponsor,The Town House Fish and Chip Bar in Haddington,for the girls league and were able to provide a trophy.This is the very first league trophy for primary girls football in East Lothian and Prestonpans Primary School girls won it by playing and winning all their home and away fixtures.Some of the games were played in horrendous weather when even the professionals called it off but our girls played on.Well done to Prestonpans Primary School for winning the league and the cup.’
Bronwyn,Africa,Eilidh and Robbie passed their chanter exam .Robbie was at guitar when the photo was taken.
Amber our super solderer brought Paris to Prestonpans ! She has made a fantastic model of the Eiffel Tower with her Uncle Kenny.She told us it took a year to complete.She has also made the Forth Road Bridge and the Forth Rail Bridge which she shown us already.

Responsible Citizens Reward May 12, 2008
Posted by Jackie Hunter in : Uncategorized , 2commentsIn our school, primary seven volunteer’s help out at break and lunchtime. They do dinner duties, door duties, milk duties, tuck shop duties and playground super squad duties. There is a rota so that the duties are shared out fairly, but these duties aren’t just all giving and no getting. At the end of each term these responsible primary sevens receive a treat during school time. In December we went swimming and we played games in the pool, and had great fun. For the spring term treat we went to the Brunton Theatre to see ‘Pond Life McGurk’. It was a really good show about friendship during primary school years. It was definitely our best treat yet! If we keep up with our responsible duties we will earn another treat at the end of this summer term. I wonder what it could be? Next year the current primary sixes will be doing these duties, it’s definitely worth it primary six.
