Christmas Fair

This year Parent Council once again organised a very successful Christmas Fair and Santa Dash.

There were different stalls selling a range of wares and coffee and treats were on sale too.  All classes organised a stall too and as an Enterprise activity tried to raise money for the school.

In the afternoon there was a Santa Dash, Violins and the turning on of the Christmas lights.

Thank you to everyone who came along and helped to support this event!

Harvest Service and the Macmillan Coffee Morning.

On the last day of term, all the children in the school performed a song, a poem or a talk about Harvest time.

Parents came along and thoroughly enjoyed this.

After the service we had our Macmillan Coffee Morning, where older children helped to serve delicious home baking contributed by pupils and parents.

Thank you very much to everyone who came along and to those who contributed home baking.

£279 was raised for such a worthwhile and important charity. Well done everyone!

Armistice Centenary

The children made wonderful artwork to help decorate the Hall for the 100th Anniversary of the ending of the First World War.

Throughout  the weekend the artwork was praised and commented on by a number of people in the community.

On Sunday at the War Memorial, one of our pupils read out a poem, which he had written, in front of the large crowd, who had gathered to remember the fallen.

Later on in the afternoon, children were invited to come along and play games to celebrate the ending of the War. A BIG THANK YOU to Mr Adrian Davidson who organised and ran these games. Winners received special memorial coins marking the Centenary.

Following on from this, the children took part in a candle lit parade to the Memorial and helped to remember each person, who died in the First World War , with a sparkler.

A BIG thank you to Walter Hanlon, who encouraged the children’s involvement in this special occasion.

 

Our Harvest Service

We held our end of term service in the Village Hall yesterday and this was followed by The Macmillan Coffee Morning.

Parents and Grandparents were entertained as each class from Nursery to P7, sang songs with a Harvest/Autumn theme. P7 did readings and Rev Perkins joined us as well to talk about this special time of the year.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed baking. Thank you to all parents as well who contributed money for their children to have cake and juice.

Our House Dance Off!

Today all the children were put into their houses.

After we had done this, there was a whole school Dance Off, where the children won points from the teachers, for their houses, by dancing with super moves! 

All houses earned a lot of points, but the winners were Allandale.

Congratulations to all children who earned points for their Houses and especially to those children, who danced even though it is not their favourite thing to do!
