Well done to A. He was one of three children who guessed the exact amount of sweeties in the jar and his name was pulled out of the hat. Congratulations and don’t eat them all at once. 👏🏻😋

Thank you so much to the Pupil Council volunteers and Mr Laird and Miss Craig who were our P4-7 goalies. Well done everyon! 👏🏻🥅⚽️🏆

On Go Yellow Day 2026 we enjoyed Beat the Goalie. Here are some pictures.

Congratulations to our winner for the Beat the Goalie raffle we had on Go Yellow Day in aid of Strathcarron Hospice. He was over the moon and we hope he enjoys spending his voucher. ⚽️🥅👏🏻

On Go Yellow Day (5th June) the children can pay 50p to play Beat the Goalie against Mr Short, Mr Laird or one of the P7 Pupil Council members. Each player will have their name put in the raffle and again if they manage to score a goal. Good luck everyone.

Friday 5th June is Go Yellow Day in aid of Strathcarron Hospice. All children are encouraged to wear something yellow and bring a suggested donation of £1.

We are all ready for some of our Go Yellow Day activities to raise funds for Strathcarron Hospice. Guess the sweeties in the jar is set up for break on Monday morning (available Mon - Thurs). It’s 50p to have 3 guesses and the winner will win the jar or sweets! Winner announced on Friday 5th.

Her is our healthy eating display in the Dinner Hall. We all worked hard to do all the jobs needed and put it all together and we are proud of our work.

We met today to share our designs for a display promoting healthy eating in our Dinner Hall. The designs were super and we couldn’t pick just one because everyone had something good so we took bits from lots of them. We are going to get to work on this soon.

We are proud to show you our new bus rules on display at the bus gate as the children leave for their buses. This was initially an idea we had as an IDL but it was opened up to all pupils as a competition and this was the winning design. It is important to be safe when travelling to school! 🚌

Yesterday we met with the Pupil Council and had a very busy lunchtime. We discussed what we would share in our termly update for Assembly and what we will be doing for the remainder of this term. We added this to our presentation. We discussed the healthy eating display for the Dinner Hall.

Thank you to everyone who tried to guess the bunny’s birthday to support our fundraising during Lent. We raised about £50. The winning date was 23rd May and here is our winner with her new furry friend. Congratulations!

Thank you to everyone who sponsored us for our Wiggle Walk. It was a perfect day for a walk and everyone tried their best. Thank you to all our volunteers who came along to walk with us. Sponsor forms are still coming in so we will hopefully be able to tell you our total raised for SCIAF next week.

Thank you to all the pupils who came along to the Easter Fair in the Hall on Thursday. It was a huge success. The children enjoyed all of the activities. Thank you to the Pupil Council members who each picked, set up and ran their own activity at the fair. We raised over £110 for SCIAF. Well done!

We met with the Pupil Council earlier in the week to discuss the Easter Fair and other Lenten fundraiser activities we have organised. We knew it was going to be a very busy week. We got all our activities set up for the Easter Fair.

Unfortunately, we have to postpone the Pupil Choice Lunch for this term. We will give you the new date and update the iPay system as soon as we know the new date.

We have a winner! Our theme for the next Pupil Choice Lunch is Chinese! It won by a very small margin. The lunch will be on Thursday 5th February. We will meet with Sheena in the kitchen in the coming days to finalise our menu and post this around the school and it will be emailed to you.

Some of the Pupil Council members met recently to see if we could come up with some ideas for Health and Well-being linked IDL topics we could share with the teachers. We thought about contexts we would enjoy. It was not an easy job but we enjoyed it and came up with some great ideas.

We have started to organise our Pupil Choice lunch for this term. The children can vote for one of the three options on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week and the winner will be announced on Friday at Assembly. The options are…

We spotted lots of ways in which our social, emotional, mental and physical health and wellbeing are being encouraged and celebrated. We spotted some other work linked to other areas of H &WB. There are a couple of small things we want to work on so watch this space.

We took some of the Pupil Council members around the school to see how Health and Wellbeing is being displayed and promoted in our school. This is a suggested activity from HGIOURS that we liked. The teachers let us into their classrooms and we visited the Dinner Hall and P.E/Assembly Hall.

We met with the Pupil Council this week to discuss our planned actions for the term ahead. To help with our SIP for Health and Well-being, we are going to evaluate our display areas around the school to see how health and well-being is being promoted in our school…

A huge thank you to everyone who donated money and supported our activities for Christmas Jumper Day. You raised just over £545 for Missio! We cannot thank you enough. This is a fantastic amount. Well done everyone! 👏🏻🤩

A huge thank you to the Pupil Council members who helped on the day to ensure all the activities ran smoothly and everyone had fun raising money for Missio! We couldn’t have done it without them. 👏🏻

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Guess the Christmas Song Quiz. We hope you enjoyed it! We enjoyed making it. Lots of people got 10/10 so we pulled the entries out of the sack and the winner was GK! Well done to her and the runners up. 👏🏻

The children who caught Santa were given a raffle ticket and this was drawn at Assembly. Well done to our runners up and our winner, LO! 👏🏻

Catch Santa was a really fun activity to help us raise funds for charity on Christmas Jumper Day. It was not easy to catch Santa because he is a very fast runner. Mrs Clause also had a wee shot too.

Our classes looked great in their Christmas jumpers that day too! Thank you to everyone who made a donation for wearing their jumper.

The remaining cookies went on sale for the rest of the children in the school and were very popular. We had to sell again in the afternoon because we did not want to turn customers away. Thank you again to all those who entered the competition as we raised lots of money from selling the cookies.

The winner is…. N. Her red velvet cookies on the top of the image were simply wonderful according to the judges. Second place went to LS in P5 (the melting snowmen) and third place went to CR in P7 (the cinnamon stars). Well done everyone! You made it so difficult for the judges. 👏🏻

Our judges had the difficult job of picking a winner out of all these amazing entries!

Everything looked so delicious and clearly we have some very talented bakers in our St Andrew’s family.

A huge thank you to everyone who submitted an entry to our Christmas Cookie Competition on Christmas Jumper Day. We were amazed by how many wonderful entries we received!

We also have our Christmas Cookies Competition on Friday. All entries should be in on Thursday or early Friday morning so they are in time for the judging. Please put your name on the tub and lid. The left over cookies will be sold at break, costing no more than 50p. Good luck and happy baking!

Catch Santa for Christmas Jumper Day will be on in the Hall at lunch on Friday 12th. It’s 50p to enter and if you catch Santa (Mr Laird), you go into the raffle to win the Amazon voucher. It’s going to be a really fun fundraising activity.

Just a little reminder that Christmas Jumper Day is on Friday 12th December so children are welcome to come to school wearing their Christmas jumper (or Santa hat etc) and bring in their donation. We would recommend £1 but any size of donation is welcome and appreciate. 😁

@primaryandrew.bsky.social Tomorrow is the last day to hand in your entries for the ‘Guess the Christmas Song’ quiz. The tracks can be found in your emails and on your child’s Seesaw page. Remember to bring your 50p entry fee. Good luck!

We met with the Pupil Council today to record our song clips for the Guess the Christmas Song quiz. It was such good fun. There will be 10 songs to identify and we are working on getting everything ready.

The votes are in and counted. Our first Pupil Choice Lunch of this session will be Mexican! We will put the menu up around the school and on the iPay in the next week or so, in time for the lunch on 25th September.

One of our first jobs has been to discuss and decide the options for the Pupil Choice Lunch for this term. From Monday to Thursday next week the children in our school can vote for Mexican, Japanese or American using a voting system in the Dinner Hall.
