All the boys and girls have had a great time doing bikeability over the last couple of weeks. A big thank you to all the volunteers and staff who have helped out so far!
We are looking forward to our final week next Tuesday.
We all had an absolutely fantastic time at the Botanics last Thursday. The children were a credit to the school and were really interested in learning about the Rainforest.

Eco group newsletter
We are the Stenton Eco group. This year we are planning to do:
Captain Rights Newsletter
We are the Captain Rights Pupil Group. We are trying to help our school to become a Rights Respecting School. There are 3 levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. We are trying to get the bronze award by the end of this year. To do that we have done a questionnaire to get everybody’s thoughts about the school. We have done one for staff and some parents and we have also done one for the children. We are also making an action plan to say what we are going to do next. We will let you know when we have got our bronze.

Our pupils took part in our School Spelling Bee this morning. Everyone did really well and it was very close! Well done to everyone for their hard work.
On Tuesday this week, we (Primary 5&6) joined Innerwick P6 pupils for a hill walk with Mrs Tannahill and Andy Duff from Outdoor Education. We walked from Whiteadder reservoir to the top of Spartleton. On the way, we spotted various wildlife (including loads and loads of toads!)and birds and stopped at the top for a picnic. We had a great day and today we are all aching!
We all had a brilliant World Book Day celebration yesterday! Thank you so much to the Pupil Council for organising lots of great activities.
Lots of the children took part in our book cover competition. Mr Taylor had a hard time judging the winners.
We began to create our story tree to display our favourite book characters in our reading corner.
The boys and girls enjoyed listening to a story read by local community member Phil who kindly came in read to us in the morning.
The children all looked super in their costumes and they inspired lots of fantastic imaginative play. The pupil council organised some fun activities for us to take part in during the afternoon.
The Stenton boys and girls worked really well together today using their creativity to make their own assault course for their peers to try. I was impressed by their innovation and how they managed to encourage the people using their assault course to make some choices of their own whilst also following instructions.
We all had a super morning at Innerwick working collaboratively to solve problems. I was really impressed with the Stenton boys and girls who got stuck in and worked really well with their Innerwick peers. Well done! Thank you to Innerwick for looking after us and giving us a great morning!
As part of our Significant Scots topic we were looking at a range of work by Scottish artists. The boys a girls all picked their favourite and have begun to use the art to inspire their own.
