Well Done Girls
I was delighted to receive a visit today from a group of Pr.6 girls who had worked hard to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital. They popped into the office to share the good news that the hospital had recognised them for their contributions. Well done girls keep up the great work.
Christmas Fair
Our Christmas Fair is fast approaching. Only one more day to go. Our grotto for Santa is ready and waiting for the big man himself. Please remember if you have any donations we will be delighted to accept them tomorrow as we begin our preparations in the afternoon.
Advertising at it’s best!!
The whole school has been involved in making items for our Christmas Fair and excitement is mounting everyday. Here we have a picture of the Santa company as they shared their posters for their expertly made Santa’s. They have even included ingredients to check in case of allergies. They have thought of everything!!! Well done boys and girls!
Summerlee Heritage Museum
The pupils of Room 8 and Room 9 had a workshop this week courtesy of Summerlee Heritage Museum as part of their studies on Scotland. They looked at the are of weaving and making tartan and as you can see from the pictures had a very informative and entertaining afternoon.
Author Visit
Celebrated children’s author Stuart Reid came to visit the school on Wednesday to carry out an author talk with Pr.1 – 3 then Pr.4 -7. In the afternoon he also delivered a creative writing workshop to the Pr.7 pupils. We are now looking forward to reading the Pr.7 imaginative stories inspired by Stuart. The school purchased signed copies of Stuart’s books for the classes and there was also a long queue of excited children eager to buy their own signed copy. The morning was entertaining, noisy and enjoyable!!
Room 2 Christmas Enterprise
The office was delighted to welcome two of our Pr.1 pupils who came along to share their Christmas produce for the fair on Saturday. Lovely, carefully wrapped packages of Snowman Soup. They are sure to sell out fast so remember and be quick as they have already taken orders.

Marshmallow Snowmen
The highly industrious pupils of Room 10 have been very busy on the production line making terrific snowmen marshmallows for selling at our Christmas Fair on Saturday. The sweet smell of soft mallows was mouthwatering as you walked up stairs and headed to a room full of activity. The finished products look fantastic and are sure to sell out quickly!!!
