‘Out of this World’ winners
Well done to all the children who received an ‘Out of this World’ Award for displaying and using out Learning Aliens. The winners enjoyed a delicious cup of hot chocolate and a biscuit with Mrs McClymont as well as receiving their certificate. Who will receive the award next week? Will it be for Captain Resilient? Or being Curious Q? Or perhaps for using Reflect-O in their work?
Remembrance Service
Today we took part in a Remembrance Day Service outside in out Remembrance Garden. Sophie Hall, a secondary pupil, played the Last Post and Reveille on her trumpet. We participated in a 2 minute silence as well as reflecting on the poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ by John McCrae. As part of our short service pupils laid their class wreaths and listened to the National Anthem.

P.3 & Planting Fruit Trees
Wow! What a very busy time we had this morning. In glorious sunshine we planted cooking apple trees, dessert apple trees, pear and plum trees. We had to be careful with the delicate roots and branches when planting them. In addition we had to make sure there was enough soil round the roots to help make the trees strong and healthy. Hopefully they will start bearing fruit in a few summers time.
Our old Eco committee, who helped with the proposal for the fruit trees, helped with their own trees as well.
Thank you to Mrs Dampney and friends from Incredible Edible who helped us apply for the fruit trees and plant them this morning. The children had a great time learning about how to look after plants, digging in the soil, looking at mini beasts and planting a piece of history. Hopefully the children will remember the day they planted their fruit trees for years to come.
Red Nose Day 2021
What a ‘Crazy’ time we had at Sheuchan today. Everyone put in lots of effort into their crazy styles and all looked fantastic. All classes had a great time with Red Nose activities including a Red Nose (pom pom) and spoon obstacle race in the glorious sunshine. Thank you for all your donations, we raised £243 which is amazing. Thank you.
P.7 Christmas Party
The P.7’s had a special Christmas party on the evening of Wednesday, 16th December. All the boys and girls had a great time playing games and enjoying their sit down meal.
