On Wednesday, Kate Howard – Musical Director for the Heughan choir came into school to introduce herself to pupils in P5-P7. Kate will be organising and running the choir for any interested pupils from P5-P7. The choir is being funded by the Heughan trust. The choir will run every Thursday this term with a view to a first performance at the official opening of the Heughan Hall in June. Pupils interested in being part of the choir took letters of interest home today. We look forward to hearing the first performance from the choir in due course.
Over the past two weeks while Miss Carson has been on her travels, Mrs Wixon has been in the nursery covering the topic of People Who Help Us. After getting ideas from the children, we planned some fun filled activities together.
We focused on people who help us at home, in school and in the wider community. We went on visits to the Health Centre and Post Office. We also had a visit from the fire brigade, a first responder, a nanny and also some special people who help us in school.
We had some great learning experiences from this topic and would like to thank all of the people for helping us by telling us how they help other people.
