As a wee treat for all the children’s hard work on their school play, we went on a Christmas scavenger hunt around the village. The boys and girls spotted an object for each letter of the word CHRISTMAS. There was some creative spotting to allow us to use an interesting word for each letter. We had aerial, buoy and even an igloo decoration found with eagle eyes!
We combined our wee word wander with a visit to the park for this term’s winning house team. Portree kindly invited Dunskey to join in the fun.
When we arrived back to school, Miss McGeoch was waiting for us! The boys and girls were so excited to see her. After lots of hugs and a catch up, she told the children about her new life in London. Allowing the children to learn about the world of work, she explained all about her new job in finance. She also told us about enjoying the recent snow in the big city, which was a first in about 16 years apparently. It was just so lovely to see Miss McGeoch. We hope she visits us again!
Next on the agenda was another visit; this time from Mrs Ross and our new minister Elizabeth Brakey. The children enjoyed making Christingles whilst learning of the significance of this Christian tradition through telling a story. Thank you ladies for a very enjoyable and educational afternoon!
