"Anchored in Excellence"
The boys and girls got all dressed up in their best party clothes to enjoy a delicious Christmas party buffet along with lots of dancing and Christmas games. They were also treated to a very special visit from Santa Claus himself, where they received lovely gifts and presents. As you can see, a great time was had by all. Thank you Santa for dropping by during such a busy time for you! 🙂
Portpatrick Primary school had a trip up to Ayr Gaeity to enjoy a performance of the pantomime “Snow White and the 7 dwarves”. The trip was generously provided by the Parent council , who paid for the transport and the pantomime tickets. Pupils enjoyed a delicious lunch at The Stage Door café before taking their seats in the theatre. At half time the children all had a ice cream, which was paid for by The Mount Stewart Hotel.
Everyone agreed it was a wonderful day – oh yes they did!
Parents and grandparents were invited into school for a informal Christmas craft afternoon with the children, before the boys and girls sang some Christmas songs to the visitors. It was very well supported and everyone in Portpatrick Primary certainly had that festive feeling.
All the boys and girls of Portpatrick Primary enjoyed a delicious Christmas lunch cooked by Barbara – have a look a the fun and feast they all had!
Today, the P5/6 pupils showed they were extremely confident individuals by taking part in a musical performance in front of the audience of P1-4. They all collaborated together in a group piece then showed fantastic confidence performing a solo piece of music too. The P1-4 class gave a standing ovation for this as it was that good! Well done p5/6 – you should be very proud of your musical talents 🙂
P1-4 pupils are very sad that today was the last day of learning about the Hindu Festival of Diwali! They have taken part in lots of fun activities to help them learn about how the festival of lights is celebrated around the world.
Today, they will bring home rangoli patterns made from sand, diva candles made from clay and some fantastic firework display pictures which symbolise all the celebrations which take place during the festival.
Portpatrick Primary school pupils were recently treated to a lovely Christmas meal, at The Mount Stewart in Portpatrick. The hotel very kindly provided a turkey dinner for every pupil and finger buffet for their parents, free of charge. Almost every family at school took advantage of the hospitality offered at The Mount Stewart. The children all enjoyed a lovely meal while the adults all had the chance to relax and chat. At the end of the evening the Mount Stewart also provided a very generous goodie bag for each child to take home with them. They all left the hotel full of the Christmas spirit, and appreciative of the generosity shown towards them all.
Many thanks must go to the Mount Stewart for their sup
port of the school.
Today the boys and girls learned what to do in the event of someone choking and there is no adult to help. They learned to try 4 things;
P1-4 had great fun on Friday taking on the roles of patients and nurses to learn about how to deal with minor bleeding. We used red paint for fake blood and followed the steps to stop a minor bleed.
The children first of all applied pressure to the wound with a clean cloth, asked the patient to raise the cut above the heart to slow the blood flow, clean, dry then cover the wound with a bandage or plaster. Take a look at some of our poor patients!
Today, parents/carers were invited in to P1-4 to see the exciting new bookbags being gifted to all P1-3 pupils from the Scottish Book Trust.
There are books, activity books and numeracy activities for the children to play with adults at home to enhance their reading, writing and counting.
The children were very excited to play the games with adults and hopefully will continue to use the bags at home.
