Just a quick reminder that Menstrie Health and Wellbeing Week happens from Tuesday 29th of March until Friday 1st of April. There are lots of fun things planned and a £1.50 donation would be welcomed.

Have a nice Easter Weekend!

We put water outside in containers. Some froze and some didn’t. Some stayed as water.

We made crumbles with the Pimary 6’s.  Some people maybe didn’t like them and some people maybe did like them.

Today we were doing sums with sticks and stones.

We have done the whole alphabet. We have practised all our letters. The alphabet was hard for some people but easy for others. The spelling words are tricky words and they are in our bags.

ps. This week we have an extra teacher in our class on a Monday, a Tuesday, a Wednesday and Thursday. Her name is Miss Dunnell.

I liked all your jobs. I liked the helmets and I liked the handcuffs.

ps. Thank you so much to all the parents who came in to school, giving up their free time to speak to the Primary 1 children. We have had  visits from a Countryside Ranger, North Sea Pipe Worker, Nurse, Prison Officer, Firefighter and Submariner.

Mr Pennie.

Our new topic is called “Toys.”  If you have any good ideas please put them  on the blog.

ps thanks for all the lovely presents, you are too kind! ( Mr Pennie.)

Just a quick reminder that both Primary 1 Christmas Parties will take place tomorrow, Thursday 17th December in the afternoon. Children can either bring their party clothes, in a bag, with them to school and the adults will help them get changed or go home at lunchtime and come back to school when they are dressed in their party gear. Either option is fine, whatever suits you.

Lunchtime for  P1 is as normal from 12.30 until 1.15p.m.

Well done to all the Primary 1 children for their super performances in all 3 school concerts. Thanks also for being such a supportive audience. We have planned a little party tomorrow for both classes as a little treat for their efforts over the last few weeks, which culminated in the shows.

We made a volcano. It was really fun. It was smelly. It was fun when it came over the sides.

We held on to a rope to keep ourselves safe. We went for a walk in the fog. We couldn’t see the hills or Dumyat Centre. The fog is going to be here for 10 days.
