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.

Here is the Pupil Council for 2025/2026. They were voted by their classmates to represent them. The Pupil Reps will work with lead the Pupil Council and we look forward to seeing what they can achieve this year! 👏🏻

Well done to our new Deputy Head Girl for 2025/2026! 👏🏻
