Highlights of the week at Liberton Primary.
- We have had a number of new pupils join our school over the last few weeks. It has been great having them as part of our school. As always I am impressed and delighted about how our school community makes our newest members feel so welcome.
- On Wednesday we had our first Libby Leaders session of the year. This year the groups from P3 to P7 are Pupil Council, Green Rockers (Eco), Community Group, Baking, Poetry Group, Ukelele Orchestra, School Newspaper, Fair Trade, Fitness Experts, Outdoor Learning, Super Stitchers, Display Team, Film Making , Junior Road Safety Officers and Worldwide Connections. Our P1 and P2 classes are taking part in groups looking at Road Safety, Big Play, Scotland, Eco-Schools the Playground and Global Citizenship.
- We also continued our Bikeablity and swimming lessons for P5 and Forest Schools for P3.
- On Thursday Primary 1 went for a walk to explore their local environment.
Coming up
- On Monday a team of P5 pupils will attend a touch rugby tournament at Murrayfield Stadium.
- Our Assemblies this week will be themed on the Christian celebration of Harvest and we will be joined by Rev Mike Taylor from Liberton Northfield Kirk. This will be one of our Religious Observance (Time to Think Assemblies). More information on this, including parental rights to opt out, can be found at http://www.gov.scot/Publications/2005/03/20778/53820
- On Thursday a group of children and Miss Sloan will attend a Fair Trade Conference at the City Chambers.
Harvest Assembly Collection for Southhouse Foodbank
We will be having our Harvest assembly on Monday 26th September. As with previous years we will use this occasion to collect donations for Southhouse Foodbank. All items of non-perishable foods or toiletries are welcome. The community of Liberton Primary has always contributed generously to this great cause and I’m sure that it will be the same again this year.
The Rock
The Rock is a Scripture Union group led by parents for children in Primary 6 and 7. The group is held on Thursday lunchtimes. Parents will be visiting classes next week to give more information to children. If you would like your child to take part please fill in the permission form that your child will bring home. More information on Scripture Union can be found at https://www.suscotland.org.uk/what-we-do/schools/
Joe’s Mini-Mudder
Final reminder that our Mini-Mudder will take place on Saturday September 24th to raise funds for Joe Clapperton’s appeal to support facilities for 8-13 year olds at the Sick Children’s Hospital. The event will now be taking place in the school grounds and will run from 1pm with the last start at 3.30pm. If you would like to take part in the event but don’t have time to collect sponsorship then you are welcome to make a donation instead and still have a go at the course. We would also like lots of families and friends to come along and watch the event. Our wonderful Liberton After School Club will be providing a refreshment stall so you can sit back with a coffee and enjoy watching everyone get wet and muddy. Even the Fire Service are hoping to make it along to hose down any participants who manage to make it through the course!
Sharing our Learning Assemblies
This year our Sharing our Learning Assemblies will be on Monday afternoons from 1.55pm to 2.35pm. Classes from Nursery to Primary 6 will take a turn at presenting what they have been learning about in class. Our P7s will focus their energies on their end of year show. Parents are very welcome to come and watch their children take part in these assemblies.
