We have been exploring Children’s Mental Health Week for our assembly this week. Every child in the school created a picture with their own personality islands. We were using the resources from the Place2Be Website:

On the 28th of February 2025 Primary 1-7 will have a day of dodgeball to raise money for new football kits. It will be really fun! I think everyone will have fun 
On Thursday we held our annual Christmas Party for the whole school. We played corners, pass the parcel, Santa and his reindeer and musical statues.
Our Nativity this year was called ‘The Fleece Force’. We preformed our nativity at the church as part of our Christmas Service, which also included carols and the P5-7 playing Jingle Bells on the Glockenspiels.
Today we were visited by Roger Hill from the charity DH9 Foundation to donate a defibrillator to our school in partnership with the Wee Emma’s Defib Campaign. They have donated defibrillators to all primary school in Dumfries and the surrounding area, as well as all secondary school in Dumfries and Galloway.
On the 29th of November my school had family fun night. I had a great time and I also ran a stall. We also sang Scottish songs and in the end we raised over £500 pounds. Lots of people came. My stall raised £48 and I loved it.
Today we held a coffee afternoon and baking competition to raise money for Children in Need.
3 Fridays ago, the whole school did a STEAM challenge for a roller coaster made out of artstraws, a paper cup, a ping-pong ball, sellotape, cardboard and scissors. (It won’t let me insert the image of it, sorry)
My group had finished our’s first so Me and Cameron made something out of the spare bits, meanwhile the rest of our group decided to colour in the base of the roller coaster.
In the end we all had a pretty good roller coaster, as well as a really good miniature village which Me and Cameron had made out of the spares.
I loved our little roller coaster, but now it is packed away, probably crushed by the other ones

Thanks for reading! 
Peter came into school to help us create guys for the community Bonfire night this year.
