Primary 5 have been given the responsibility of handing out Christmas cards to all of the classes!
We have noticed that lots of people have been doing this themselves and would like to encourage pupils to use the Christmas Postbox in the school. You will find this outside the school office!
If you do plan to do this, please make sure yourself or your child writes the name and the class on their envelopes!
On Wednesday 23rd November, Primary 1, 2 and 3 children all received their Read Write Count bags from the Scottish Book Trust. We held a special afternoon where each of the children were ‘gifted’ their bag by Mr Patterson. Lots of parents came to join us and they joined in with reading the new stories and playing the games contained within the bags. We all had lots of fun learning and playing with our parents and even got to enjoy juice and a biscuit as a special treat.
Thank you to all those parents, grandparents and carers who joined us – we hope you had as much fun as we did.
There are a number of exciting things happening across the school that we’d like to share with you!
In Primary 1, many parents have been visiting for our successful ‘Stay and Play’ sessions. These will continue into November. P1 parents can come Wednesdays from 9:00 – 9:45am.
Primary 2 have begun the ‘Read Write Inc.’ literacy programme, which is designed to create fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers. The boys and girls are really enjoying their work! Primary 1, 3 and 4 will begin towards the end of November.
Primary 4 and Primary 7 enjoyed a trip to Perth for a Scots reading of Fantastic Mr Fox. Children watched the film and reviewed using Scots language.
Primary 5 have a new class member – Junior the snail! The children have been learning how to care for him and have been excitedly sharing this with children across the school.
Primary 6 (along with those in Craigbank and Fishcross) are currently participating in the Youth Music Initiative Clackmannanshire Brass Project. All children have been given an instrument to take home. The children are learning how to play them in school and will demonstrate their skills along with the other schools in a performance later in the school year.
Primary 7 children will be involved in the ‘Max in the Middle’ project next week. Across the week, the class will focus on various scenarios regarding healthy living: preparing and tasting food; being physically active; reflecting on their experiences, and transforming their learning into a drama and dance-based performance for parents and carers on Friday 4th November.
This years sponsored event is The McTOUGH kids Obstacle Course and will take place on Wednesday 9th November 2016.
The course consists of a climbing wall, cargo net, ninja rings and tunnels. The company providing the equipment are fully trained and insured.
All pupils will need a change of clothes/shoes and a towel as there is the high possibility your child will get muddy/wet. We cannot predict the Scottish weather and the event will go ahead hail, rain or shine.
Parents are invited to come along and watch your child or perhaps you would like to join in and raise some sponsor money yourself. (forms available from school office)
