After having 6 films nominated and at least one in each of the 7 categories, we headed off to the Filmhouse in Edinburgh for the screening and prize giving in a positive mood.

We weren’t disappointed!  After watching all the nominated films the results of each category were announced and we won 4!

Best Story – Ollie the Artist
Best Sound – The Demon Coaches
Technical Merit – The Haunted School
Most Overall Enjoyment – Endless Maths

The films can all be seen HERE.

A fantastic result!  Well done everyone (including those not lucky enough to win).

Back in early 2020, P5 (now P7) made some short films which were entered into the Edinburgh and Lothians Schools Film Competition.  Unfortunately, due to Covid lockdown, the competition didn’t take place in 2020.

There were 4 categories:

What can I say ….

Tuesday 27th to Friday 30th October was Anti-Bullying Week in Pencaitland Primary School.  Every class did something to promote anti-bullying.  The video below was created to share some of our work with you.

It’s not rubber but it does come bouncing back to me – thanks to P5!
