Primary 7 had a great time on Friday celebrating their efforts in reading this year. We took part in Table Top Football, Cool Creatures, Big Art, Bouncy Castles and more!

My camera isn’t doing what it’s supposed to so I will fix it and get the pictures on in the next few days! There’s some brilliant ones from the Cool Creatures activity…

Richard Taylor has worked with the P7s this year to discuss the ‘Big Questions’ in life.  He organised a brilliant event this morning where the P7s had the chance to ask a panel from the local community about their religious beliefs.  P7 asked great questions!  Examples:

• Do you believe in miracles?
• How many times have you read the Bible?
• Is there anything you are not allowed to do in your religion?
• Do you think being religious makes you a better person?
• What made you believe in your religion?  Parents, school, friends?
• Do you think learning about R.M.E in school should be optional?

Wow!  What a lovely day for the School Fair on Saturday.  P7 ran three stalls: Splat the Rat, £1 Coin Drop and Nail Art.  The Primary 7s helped out on lots of different stalls and as always they did a brilliant job!!  Thank you SO much to all our helpers   We honestly couldn’t do it without you.

If you have anything lying around at home that you think we could use for set design or props for the show PLEASE bring it to school as soon as possible

Old sheets, bubble wrap, old t-shirts etc – we’ll take it all!

All P7 children in the cluster have now been given information about a swimming afternoon on Friday 31st May as part of the transition programme. All consent forms must be back to class teachers by Friday 17th May.

A HUGE well done to the girls for taking the time to create the dance.  They will now go on to show the rest of the school for a special project that is coming up…

On Thursday night a team of P7s competed in the East Lothian round of the Rotary Club Quiz. Catriona, Fraser, Hannah and Molly answered questions all areas of the curriculum and finished with a fantastic final score! We had fun cheering them on Well done!

A reminder that we will be visiting the Risk Factory tomorrow (Monday 22nd April) and ALL P7s need to bring a packed lunch.

P7B (Miss Eeles) and P7C (Miss Veitch) need to arrive at school for 8.30am. We would like to leave as soon as the bus arrives so please come at this time and don’t be late!

P7A (Miss Cooke) and P7D (Mrs Whitehead) should arrive at the normal school start time of 8.45am as they will be going to the Risk Factory in the afternoon. They will arrive back at school at approx 4pm.

Mrs Lyle organised year group dodgeball tournaments as part of Health Week. We heard lots of stories from the P4s, P5s and P6s earlier in the week about how much fun they had so we were really looking forward to it!

Some of the 7s had tactics and others just went for it! It was such a great morning and all 115 children behaved brilliantly, cheering each other on and enjoying the games.

In the end, P7B (my class!) were victorious! The games were very fast moving but we had a huge TEAM effort to get our prisoners back from the sin bin.

Well done to all classes for giving the games 100% and having fun!  Mrs Whitehead, official photographer for today, will put up photos next week

Miss Eeles

P.S my muscles will definitely be aching tomorrow!!
