P1-7 Christmas Party

The whole school Christmas party was held in the hall on the afternoon of Wednesday 20th December. The pupils enjoyed playing the traditional games such as Pass the Parcel, Christmas Corners, Musical Christmas Statues and Musical Arms. The staff also had the very difficult task of judging ‘The Greatest Dancer’ in each class. Here are some photos from the party.

On Monday 18th December Mr Oliver Mundell MSP visited Brownhall for a Q&A session with the P5/6/7 class. Prior to his visit the pupils prepared a set of questions for Mr Mundell to answer on his role as MSP for Dumfriesshire. The pupils then used their notes from the Q&A session to write a report of his visit and his job as an MSP.
