I hope everyone enjoyed their time off this week for the mid-term break. \u00a0It was lovely to have all of the boys and girls back in school today and it was lovely to hear their stories about the holiday. \u00a0Some children had been lucky enough to go away for a short holiday while others just enjoyed relaxing at home or spending time with their families.<\/p>\n

Over the holiday, the workmen have been very busy in our school and the children returned to find a lovely new carpet fitted in our main entrance and foyer. \u00a0It looks lovey and fresh – some of the children seemed to be under the impression that I had fitted it!<\/p>\n

I enjoyed visiting two classes this morning – I was with P6\/7 in the morning to join in with a literacy lesson and I was in P1\/2 to share in their Taught Writing lesson after interval. \u00a0I was impressed with the hard work and focus of both classes. \u00a0In P1\/2, I was pleased to see that all children are writing independently and had been using their learning from IDL topic ‘Lost and Found’ to influence their writing.<\/p>\n

We had an early lunch break today as M&M Productions were coming to perform ‘Treasure Island’ for all of the boys and girls in P1-7. \u00a0It was a wonderful afternoon and the cast entertained us with songs, action, amazing sets and costumes and a very exciting story. \u00a0P6\/7 got a ‘backstage’ workshop afterwards – the teachers even had to do a bit of acting!<\/p>\n
