On Saturday 14th Santa and his Reindeer came to Bowmore and there were 4 big Reindeer and 2 small Reindeer! There was a big parade where the Band played and Santa and the Reindeer followed behind. Everyone enjoyed seeing it and afterwards they went to Islay High School where there was their Christmas Fair which also had a mini Ice rink. IT WAS GREAT FUN!!! (but it was VERY cold!)

Greenhouse Disaster
On Thursday the 5th December it was very windy day and power was off so there was no school. When we went back to school on Friday the green house roof had blown in and the supports had snapped. Mr Gairns had to tie the roof down with blue rope. Now there is posts up around to keep the pupils away.

Our Visit to the Dump
Yesterday we all got into school and Mr Gairns went to Bowmore to get the minibus. We got our coats on and gloves and hats. On the way over to Bowmore me and Abbie smelled a fishy smell. It was because the lorry in front of us was the bin lorry on the way to the dump. Mr MacIntyre came to talk about working at the dump and gave us lots of interesting facts. We got a tour of the dump. There is an old landfill site called Teletubby hill. Then we went to Rejig to get some things to upcycle. We got bags, dresses, ties and wool kindly donated by Ina. It was fun!
