Dear Parents/Carers,

Assembly

P3 – P7 had a joint assembly today.  We shared our achievements and explored facts about Ramadan.

Achievements

• Several Bruntsfield Primary pupils took part in a Scotland wide competition to design a new mascot – or “Mathscot” – for Maths Week Scotland. Well done to Martha from P7B, who was a Second Level finalist, and to Chloe from P5B, whose entry was highly commended.  All winners, finalists and highly commended entries will be featured in an online showcase next week, so keep an eye on twitter.com/mathsweekscot and see if you can spot Martha’s and Chloe’s entries.”
• Well done to David, Kody, Lefteris and  Matthew in P6 who scored a very respectable 56 out of 60 in the Euro Quiz today. Some very challenging questions indeed!
• Well done to Erinn and the rest of P6B who spent the day with the Malinn Group in Glasgow after winning their competition for best 3D design.

Comic Relief Day (Friday 15^th March)

We all had a fantastic time.  Thanks to everyone who contributed,  We raised a grand total of £614!

Bruntsfield Mini Marathon

We had an amazing time down at the Meadows running a mini marathon to raise money for Asthma UK.  Every child ran or jogged around the track at least once and were joined by many parents.  Thanks to Mr Wood who organised the event.  He will be running the London Marathon in April.  We have raised close to £1000 already.  If you would still like to donate, you can through Mr Wood’s Just Giving Page: https://2024tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/martyn-wood?fbclid=IwAR32IGyH9hoIvRRNebbBsDI15MydRu4MgOFT37uqI5fsZOGb4SMY_I4J70o_aem_ASoxz14Mv7iSkEjjysrXb25XtoofhdniH8rzmdHVRUlFzVV9lKlYv6irzN64H0p9B8M

Please respond to this email advising if your child would like to be added to the list.
