November Update

Dear Mums and Dads

We have Christmas performances for P4-7 on Wednesday 12th at 9.30am and Thursday 13th December at 9.30am.

In PE with Miss McCormick we were doing Dodgeball and Fitness with Miss Macrae. We did the bleep test as well.

In Topic we are putting on a mini ‘Grow A Fiver’. Mums and Dads are welcome. Our topic is business and we’ve thought of a good name for it: “Back in Business”. We all voted on it and we all think it is really cool.

Have a look at some pictures of what we have been doing in class.
