Shelter Christmas Cards

Leave a comment

Just a reminder that Shelter’s Christmas cards with Abbie Russell’s winning design on them are now for sale – £2.49 for 10.

Abbie visited the Prestwick shop last weekend, where she saw her cards for sale and received a gift from the staff.  Abbie, we are so proud of your achievement.

 

If anyone would like to buy a set of Abbie’s cards and support this Scottish charity as we head towards a difficult time for so many, please follow the link below:

A Harvest Message

Leave a comment

Thank you so much once again to our school chaplain, Rev. McNaughtan, for recording a Harvest message for the children to watch.

This message ties in beautifully with our Rights Respecting Schools work, as it includes a video from Malawi where climate change storms have had a devastating impact on the community’s food and water supplies. Article 24 tells of the rights children have to food and clean water.

The whole message only lasts around 10 minutes – we hope you enjoy watching this at home too.

So proud!

We have been so proud of Mark Wilson in P6A this week and wanted to share something he has done.

Mark, his sister Rachel and two friends raised money for the World Wildlife Fund, sending away an amazing £81 for this wonderful charity. This certainly shows one of our school values – kindness.

Mark, we are so proud of you and you thoroughly deserve the gold card to go towards the Yellow House points!

An Act of Kindness!

Leave a comment

It was amazing to hear about another of our pupils donating her hair to the Little Princess Trust – a true act of kindness.

Here’s Amy Gray in P6B after her visit to the hairdressers, holding the certificate she received, plus the gold card from us for demonstrating one of our Gargieston values.

Well done, Amy!
