Red Nose Day Photos

Here are some photos from Red Nose Day. Can you work out who the superheroes are?

Red Nose Day

We have been thinking of ways to raise money for Red Nose Day. One of our ideas has been a school joke book which we will sell in school on Friday. Please look on the Pupil Council blog for a film about some of the reasons for Comic Relief.
We want to make the 25th anniversary one to remember!
Do something funny for the money.....Friday might even bring some staff superheroes!

World Book Day

To celebrate World Book Day the pupils shared books with one another across the classes. Here are members of the P5/6/7 class enjoying sharing books with the P1/2 class.

 

Netballers

Here are a couple of photos of our netball team who have tried really hard in developing their skills this session. They have all received a certificate for all their efforts in the indoor league - well done everybody! In the photo Leah is standing in for Chloe.

Important visitors

We have recently had a visit from a number of councillors, Lesley Manson (Executive Director Education, Leisure and Housing) and Peter Diamond (Head of Schools). They all came to Evie to look at our school building and to decide what they think should be done with it.
The P7 pupils did guided tours in small groups. They were highly praised by all our visitors about how they did this.
The staff also had the opportunity to share in the discussion. The last part of the meeting involved the Pupil Council who answered quite a number of questions very well. It is no easy feat to walk into a room full of adults and share your point of view.
Here are a few pictures of the session.

Barry Hutchison visit to Firth

The P5/6/7 class went to Firth on Wednesday this week to participate in an author visit from Barry Hutchison. They joined the Firth P5,6 and 7 pupils in a workshop session.
Barry shared information about how he writes novels and everyone had the chance to develop a character too. There was the opportunity to ask questions and lots of the children did. I am hoping he will have inspired our budding writers.
For anyone who is interested you can find out more about Barry through his blog page at www.barryhutchison.com.
                                     
This is his latest novel which is nominated in the Scottish Booktrust Awards.
