The World of Norm May Contain Nuts
By Jonathan Meres
Review By Carys (age 10)
This is a really good book and I would recommend it for our age to age 14.
So here’s the story…. The New Year came about and us teachers were having a good old chat in the staffroom (as we do) about getting fit and giving something back to the community.
What better way to meet these New Year resolutions but to run for charity. NONE of us are athletes but all enjoy the occasional jog so we’ve come together to run for our school and raise money for a very worthy charity, Maggies.
As part of our Global Citizenship work in school, we have invited a speaker from the One World Fairtrade Shop to come into school to speak to all our children on Monday 24th March.
She will deliver two assemblies to the children providing a Fairtrade update, details on the work of the One World Shop and information about a paper-making project in Nepal called Get Paper Industries.
The M Factor won the ‘Scottish Government’s Award for Excellence’ at the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities Excellence Awards at the special presentation in St Andrews on Thursday night. The education team was presented with the award by First Minister Alex Salmond who said that Midlothian’s M Factor Project was an outstanding example of excellence in education – an innovative project where teachers became learners and learners became teachers.
Lasswade Primary took part in this project and both pupils and children should be very proud of their efforts!!!!
Lasswade Primary are supporting this event and invite all pupils to wear RED next Friday (21st March).
P5 will be promoting the event in school.
The first meeting of P7 parents to organise this year’s leaving event will be at Table Table, Eskbank on Thursday 27th March 2014 at 7pm.
If you have an interest in helping or would like to have an opportunity to attend and contribute then please feel free to come along.
Many thanks.

Sex and Relationship Education
On Thursday 27th February, P4 went to the Museum of Scotland to learn about the Vikings. First we went to a Viking exhibition led by two pretend Vikings who were called “Roaring lungs” and “Redhead”. They got our teacher, Miss Broad, to be Odin and made her give lots of silly answers. So when answering “where do Vikings go after they are dead?” she said “Greggs”. { The real answer being Valhalla}. After lunch we were given a sheet and we had to find exhibits and answer questions about them in our groups. Some of us got lost but not for long! I liked the burial site. Our last thing was to go to the animal section and have lots of fun. Everyone had a good time and we got back on time.
