Congratulations to this weeks winners of our four capacities awards.

Primary 5 took part in a scavenger hunt around school to find information on Mary Queen of Scots as part of their new topic.  They then used this information to create a timeline of her life.

Well done to everyone for their house shield entries.  Our house captains have a tough job of choosing their favourite design.  We will let you know winners during assembly time.

There was some excellent teamwork in show today as pupils took part in house challenges with a Christmas theme.  Children had to collaborate and answer questions on the Christmas Story, general knowledge, movies and music.  There were also challenges for each year group such as decorating a cake, Christmas door hangers and Santa collages.  Once finished, teachers returned to judge each challenge and gave out house points accordingly.  It was a very close contest and we’ll find out next week how the scores affected house point totals.

We are having a great morning with the Rookie Rockstars.  They have come to give us a reunion concert and to perform the songs we recorded last session with an anti-bullying theme.

All pupils have been working extremely hard on their Christmas show performances.  We can’t wait to show off our amazing singing and acting skills.

We now have our house captains and vice-captains elected for each of our three houses.  Congratulations to them all, we know they’ll do a fantastic job!

We enjoyed a walk around our local area today to raise money for school funds.  We decided to make it fun by everyone wearing pyjamas or onesies.  Thank you to all our parent helpers for coming along and helping to cross roads and supervise.  Well done everyone for supporting the school.
