Eco Code Competition
Thank you all for the wonderful entries in the competition to design an illustrated version of our school Eco Code. The standard was so high, the Eco Committee had to vote by using cubes to place on their favourite 4 designs. The results were in joint 3rd place: Mhairi Shearer and Meadow McLachlan. In second place we had a collaborative entry from Reggie Murray and Holly Smith. In first place, the winner, whose design will be used in a new illustrated version of the code to be displayed around the school was Niamh McCormick. These winners were presented with some eco friendly creative gift sets while all children who entered were given a chocolate in recognition of their effort.
Well done the Eco Committee for organising this and presenting the results powerpoint to our assembly today.
Church Service
What a lovely way to end the term with our Christmas visit to Church. The theme of the service was the Christmas story told through the contest of some special Christmas Crackers. The P7 pupils shared the message through readings and poems. Singing from all classes was rousing and filled the Church with Christmas cheer.
Thank you to Mrs Howie and Alison Irving for helping with the set up for today.
