We would like to thank the family of Ryan in the Blue group for their very generous donation of £1000 to school funds. This was raised through the annual fundraising dinner held by Newmains Pigeon Club. We would like to thank the family and the club for their continuous support, it is very much appreciated.
We had a great, albeit chilly, day at The Kelpies today. Our tour guide, Steve, told us lots of interesting facts about the sculptures and even let us go inside one, they are called Duke and Baron, we were inside Duke which is the one who is pointing his head down to the ground. After the kelpies we managed to squeeze in a quick drive to the Falkirk Wheel to look at it before we went to McDonalds for a treat. All of the pupils behaved excellently and had a great time, we are really proud of them.
We have had a busy start to 2018 in the Yellow Group. Karen left at Christmas to start a new job so we have had Mr Struthers in working with the ladies in the class and making sure we are working hard. We also had to say goodbye to Arlene for a wee while as she has gone off on Maternity leave.
In the kitchen we have been working really hard and producing some great three course meals. We have made Curried Coconut and Carrot Soup with bread followed by Pizza and then Chocolate cake for dessert.
In class we have started working on our Scotland topic and have been doing lots of things to do with Scotland. We have designed our own tartans using the Smartboard, we read “Tam O’Haggis” (a simplified version of “Tam O’Shanter”) with Carrie from Therapet and we have been planning some trips to places of interest including The Kelpies and The Falkirk Wheel.
Rhona from college continues to work with us in The Looking Good Room each Wednesday and we have been really impressing her with our team work. This term we are learning how to wash and moisturise our hands and file and buff our nails.
We had a visit from Fiona from ZooEd who brought in some animals themed around the poetry of Burns to tie in with Burn’s Night.
