Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to everyone in p1/2 and to their families.

Thank you for all your hard work this term – you are all super.

Thank you also for my cards and gifts – it is very very much appreciated.

See you all in 2020

What a brilliant time we had at our Christmas party! Lots of games, dancing and Santa even dropped by to give us all a present. A great day.

We had a great day wearing our Christmas jumpers and having a tasty Christmas lunch.

Thank you for all the donations to the food bank.

• Can all children in Primary 1 and Primary 2  please remember to wear black/dark trousers or leggings to school on Friday for the Nativity. School trousers or jeans will be absolutely fine. Children will be given a t-shirt to wear on stage. 

This afternoon we sequenced the story of the First Christmas. We had to cut out the pictures and put them in order before colouring the pictures in.

Afterwards we had a special jelly snack from the nursery!

Reminders

• It is the ‘Christmas Lunch and Christmas Jumper Day’ this Wednesday. If possible we ask that children bring a donation to give to the local foodbank (tins or dried food) instead of a £1 donation. Hopefully we can spread a little extra Christmas cheer by helping local families.

• Please hand in the slips letting us know what your child would like for the Christmas lunch on Wednesday. Children in p1/2 get free school meals but still need to indicate what they would like.

• Thursday is an In-Service Day due to the election.

• The school nativity is this Friday. Please can children wear black trousers or leggings to school – they will be provided with a t-shirt to wear on stage.
