The nursery children collected Easter eggs and other foods for the food bank. Thanks to everyone who donated.

We have created lots of art work over the last few weeks. We have made kilts and learned about family tartans. Some boys in our class have worn a kilt at a wedding!

We made Loch Ness monsters. It was tricky to cut up all the paper but they look really good now!

We have made some Easter eggs. We loved adding our little chicks to our eggs. We tried our best to make them bright and colourful.

Thank you you for reading our post,

Primary 1a

Cumbernauld Theatre needed a helping hand to find the missing pages of their story book. We all took a trip into The Enchanted Forest to help them find some happy endings!

In class we are learning about Easter and have printed our own Easter pictures. We saw Primary 3’s assembly this morning and thought it was very good, and we did our spelling check today and we all did really well!

We held a coffee morrning today. The turn out was fantastic. The musicians and choir performed for us while we drank our coffee. Thank you to all staff and PTA members who helped out at the event and to everyone who came along to make it the huge success that it was.

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday pupils from St Maurices, Kilsyth Academy and Cumbernauld Academy work together to improve our ‘Chill Out Area’ garden. These pupils are working on their Mark Scott Leadership for Life Award. They tidied the whole garden, painted tyres that they then converted into raised planting areas, made bird feeders and very innovative welly boot planters were also hung from trellising. The garden looks fantastic and the team worked tirelessly to improve this area for us. Well done girls and thank you so much.

During our parents’ nights last Wednesday and Thursday two policemen and women came to give advice on internet safety. They demonstrated how to put parental controls on ipads and iphones and gave very valuable advice on how to keep our children safe. We would like to thank them very much for their help and we hope to see them very soon when they return to speak to the children about this issue.

We have been very busy this week!

We finally finished our hamster houses and we really liked getting to build them in our groups. We have been making goldfish bowls in Art and some of them are up on our good work wall. We have made flower pot table decorations, look out for them on Saturday at the Fairtrade coffee morning!

Our mums and dads came to see Miss Martin and Mrs Leishman for parents night this week, and we got really good reports!

This Saturday we are having a Fairtrade Coffee Morning  in the school hall from 10am till 12 pm. Donations of raffle prizes and home baking on Friday would be very much appreciated. The choir will be singing at this event and the strings and brass players will also be performing.

The nursery children (and staff) had a great day dressing up to celebrate World Book Day.
