CHRISTMAS FAIR

On Saturday 4th December we had a Christmas fair to raise money for trips and special things in school.

We spent a lot of time preparing for the fair, making things to sell.  P1,2 made sweets, decorations and willow wands, P2,3 made peppermint creams and hot chocolate mugs, P4,5 made decorations, cakes and calendars, while P6/7 made bags.

On the day there was face painting, a toy store, tombola, bottle stall, tea and coffee, treasure hunts, a hamper and guess the weight of the cake.  Santa  came in and said hello, and was in his grotto giving out presents to everyone.

I really liked the fair, it was really busy and we raised £2285.  Well done and thanks to everyone who came.

FOOTBALL COACH VISITS SCHOOL

Martin Rae, a coach from the Scottish Football Association, visited Port Ellen Primary on  3rd December.  He came to train us  and tell us how to not get mad if the other team wins.  We were dribbling and passing the ball, and we played a game where there are two defenders and there are strikers, and the defenders have to get the ball and touch it.  You then had to put the ball up over your head and stick your feet out, and another person kicked a ball through your legs and said nutmeg to let you go free.  We went in to teams and played a game of football.  Robbie scored a hat trick and then he won a ball for the school.  It was great fun and I hope he comes back again.

The Five Pillars of Islam

Today we were learning about the five pillars of Islam to finish off our topic on Muhammad, PBUH.   P4/5 worked in groups to research one of the 5 pillars, which are Shahadah, Salat, Zakat, Sawm and Hajj.  We know Muhammad, PBUH, is the last prophet of Islam, and is very important to Muslims around the world.  Today we created a display of the Islamic idea of Heaven, Jannah.

Find out more on the BBC website, or Islam for children.
