A reminder that the Primary 1 and 2 party is tomorrow. Here is a list of what to bring in to share –

The children can come to school dressed in their party clothes.

We have been making symmetrical Christmas pictures as well as playing in the Learning Zone.with the Christmas toys.

Christmas Lunch/ Christmas Jumper Day

This Wednesday (11th Dec) is our Christmas lunch day. The children may come to school wearing their Christmas jumpers as well as bring a tin of food to be donated to a charity.

Nativity

This Friday (13th Dec) is our Nativity show.

The boys should come to school wearing their normal school trousers and they will be provided with a t-shirt and tinsel to wear by the school.

The girls should wear black trousers or leggings (or any other dark colour) and they will also be provided with a t-shirt and tinsel by the school.

If your child is a dancer, they had a note home asking for them to bring in a pair of blue jeans (or black if you don’t have blue). The rest of the costume will be provided by the school.

Christmas Party

The P1 and P2 party is on Tuesday 17th December.

We were using the mirrors to check for a line of symmetry.

Well done to a proud girl for winning 2 trophies for her dancing.

Today we made healthy fruit kebabs. We remembered to wash our hands as well as the work surface to prepare the food hygienically.  Then we enjoyed eating them together.

We have been celebrating St. Andrews Day with Scottish food, and Scottish music and dancing.

Remember tomorrow, Saturday 30th November is our Christmas Fair. Hope to see you all there between 10am and noon.

Today we were in the ICT room using the computers to help us with rounding numbers to the nearest 10.

Today we were making “Reindeer Noses’ as part of our Enterprise topic. We will be selling them on Saturday at the Christmas Fair. Why not come along between 10am and 12 noon for a fun day. We might even get a special visit from Santa!
