P5/6 and P7 performed their show ‘Will Santa Get Shot Down?’

Based on a true story and set on Christmas Eve 1940, Geoff and his family are about to spend what should be the most magical night of the year… in a cold, wet air-raid shelter! It showed what life was like during WWII. The children felt it was important to acknowledge the commemorations this year when WWII started 70 years ago as well as marking the end of the war in May 2020.

P1 performed their Christmas show on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th December. Everyone enjoyed the children acting out their parts and praised them how clear they spoke and performed.

It’s a Baby! tells the traditional nativity story from the perspective of a weary innkeeper. He is trying to get some sleep, however, finds that he is in for a sleepless night as he is constantly being interrupted by visitors looking for a place to stay.  Mary, Joseph and their donkey arrive first, followed by angels, shepherds and the wisemen looking for the new baby. A fun nativity performed by Primary 1.

P3/4 and P4/5 performed their Christmas show – What Christmas Means to Me on Monday, 16th and Tuesday, 17th December.

From the tinsel and glitz to all films on TV, the crackers we pull or the gifts round the tree. this show investigated what we should truly value at Christmas – family! Being together with loved ones and sharing tis special time together.

During the October holidays, The Fed Up Café organised a competition. Children had to give their ideas and views on the Fed up Café. A winner was selected and it was Brandon Patterson from P7. He won an amazing prize of a Fire Kindle.  Well done Brandon!

Katie Monair & Erin Caldwell from P5/6 organised a raffle in school today. Many children won Santa keys and bags of sweets. The main prize was a chocolate hamper won by Fraser Lindsay in P5/6. The total raised was £164.00. This will go towards our Christmas parties. Well done girls.

The Toddler club also announced the winners of their raffle with lots of prizes won by the children.

Thank you for all your support in fundraising this year.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to Christmas Jumper Day 2019. The total raised today was £191.80. Well done everyone!

Primary 7 had lots of fun putting their maths skills to the test in an ‘escape room’ activity. They used lots of what we have been learning in maths to crack codes and help save Christmas from being cancelled by computer hackers.

P4/5 finished their archery lessons and thoroughly enjoyed them.

There is a lot of excitement throughout the school at the moment with classes practising for their Christmas Show. Please encourage your child to learn their lines, if they have any. Practise speaking with volume, clarity and expression. Some classes might be asking for costumes – please can we have them in as soon as possible.
