Primary 5 enjoyed performing in our school show today. They sang The Calypso Carol and an old time favourite Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Great surprise for Primary 5 today! The winning entry for the Nights of St. Columba Keep Christ In Christmas Competition.

Well Done!

Yesterday we got a letter from our class teddy bear Paddington. He told us he had bought his mum a present for Christmas but he didn’t know how to wrap it up. He asked if Primary 2 would wrap the present for him and write him a set of instructions so he will know what to do the next time. He left the present and some wrapping paper for us in the class so Miss Connor and Miss Christie set up a wrapping table and we got started. First of all we made a list of all the things we needed to wrap the present. Then we began wrapping, one step at a time. We all got a turn at coming out and completing a step and we had to think about what we were doing so we could write it down clearly for Paddington. When we were finished, we showed our beautifully wrapped present to Paddington and he was so pleased! We put the completed set of instructions into his suitcase so he can use them the next time he has a present to wrap. He said thank you very much to all of the boys and girls in Primary 2 for helping him!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas up here in the jewellery making club. We were busy today  making beautiful Christmas decorations. Well done children. They look great!

Happy St. Andrew’s day everyone! We have had a brilliant day at school! We had a lovely prayer service with Mr Young this morning and lots of drama, singing and dancing this afternoon! The children have been fabulous! Here are some pictures to share our day.

We have been working so hard in our maths lessons with Miss Connor and Miss Christie. We have been practicing our addition and subtraction sums every day and we are much better at finding the answers on our own. This week we used the Splat Square game on the smartboard to help us to find the missing number in lots of tricky sums. We also learned how to make up sets of fact families and we made some human fact families with Miss Christie to show us how the numbers can move around to make new sums.
