Mother’s Day & Special Person Crafts – Friday 28th March 💐

To round off a wonderful term, we had a very special final day on Friday! We were delighted to welcome Donna Westbrook and Natasha into the school to lead some lovely Mother’s Day/Special Person craft activities with both classrooms.

Our P5–7 pupils designed some beautiful cards, full of creativity, colour, and thoughtful messages. Their ideas and attention to detail were fantastic to see! 🎨💌

Over in the P1–4 classroom, the younger children also got stuck into their own wonderful cards and crafts, pouring lots of love and care into their work 🖍️.

Although we only managed to capture photos from the P5–7 class this time, all of the children across the school worked hard and had fun expressing their appreciation for the special people in their lives. A special thank you to Mrs Westbrook for organising and leading this session.

We hope that all the mums, grannies, and other important people in our pupils’ lives had a wonderful day on Sunday — you deserve it! 💖
