The Polar Express

Leave a comment

Primary 1 and 1/2 had a fantastic journey this morning on the Polar Express.  They travelled all the way to the North Pole (in their imaginations) with the very real conductor who served up hot chocolate and cookies.  Their tickets were punched and the activities when they got there were fantastic.  For some of the children they said it was the “Best Day Ever!”

‘🥳P4S has met their next class point target!🥳
At the beginning of the year the class agreed on their rewards and goals. This time, our reward is a movie afternoon with a cuddly toy.
After lunch on THURSDAY 19TH DECEMBER the class will be watching ‘The Grinch’ (2018) (rated U) with some snacks that will be provided. Children do not need to bring in their own snacks and all allergies will be accounted for.
This is not a dress down day for our class, however children are welcome to wear their Christmas jumpers and slippers if they wish.
If you have any questions or do not wish for your child to take part, please get in touch by Wednesday 18th.
Thank you! 🎄

We will be leaving the school at 9:15 am and returning as soon as the service is finished. If we do not get enough helpers we will not be able to have our Christmas service at the church. Helpers can walk with any class. Please call the school office ASAP if you can help on this occasion.
