Day: November 30, 2017

Today has been a day of celebrations in our school for St Andrew’s Day.  This is a very important day for Scotland but also for our school as St Andrew is our Patron Saint.

We were very lucky to have former pupil Lauren come to pipe us in to school this morning.  We then started the day with a short service celebrating the life of St Andrew with Father Gerald.

Next it was time to split in to groups to take part in a variety of activities.  We could choose from:

Baking, Football, Woodlands, K’nex, Clay Models, Disco, Fun Science, Arts & Crafts, Games Room and Team Games.

Here are some of our thoughts on the day:

“It was such great fun!” Georgia        I loved Fun Science.” Neve         “Football was great!” Brigita

“This is the best day at school!” Maeve

WOW, WOW,WOW!!! So impressed with the pleasant, polite shopkeepers in P5, who knew all about their products, and served their customers with a smile!

Thank you also to the P6 and P7 classes for their generosity, one customer’s feedback was “I give the Enterprise Afternoon 29 stars, one for every child in the class!”

Many thanks again for your support, practical real life activities like this really help to underline the learning we have been doing in class about money, how to give correct change, the value of money and profit and loss…plus the fact that the children had fun!

Thank you to our resident paparazzi Thomas and C-Jay, for taking such great photos 🙂
