Thank You to Miss Philo and class Islay for organising our “Go Green for Halloween Disco” this afternoon.
We started off with the primary disco and then the senior pupils took to the dance floor, great fun had by everyone.
Prizes were awarded to the best fancy dress and we had some really good ideas this year.
Mr Holmes as usual entertained everyone with his dance moves.
Mrs Clark was even escorted out of the disco for her “bad” dance moves………..
Pupils and staff dressed up in green today for “Go Green for Halloween” to support NSPCC charity.
We had some activities organised by class Islay to raise money for NSPCC. The sensory challenge box was a particular favourite and the chocolate dipped popcorn and apples went down a treat.
Brogan helped out at the creative corner and encouraged her friends to create a Halloween picture.
Yesterday pupils met the Minister of Public Health and Sport Aileen Campbell – Pupils helped design the privacy curtains and other Art work throughout the centre. The new building is on the site of our old school.
