Vane Farm Visit

P1/2 had a fabulous time visiting Vane Farm as part of their mini beasts topic. Nursery visited also a couple of weeks before and enjoyed themselves too.

It was super exploring different habitats of mini beasts , particularly the ponds.

We also got to have a picnic and explore around the beautiful grounds of Vane Farm.

Thank you to Mrs Fridge who drove there and who also took us to The Museum of Scotland earlier in the year.  A big thank you to Hazel who also came along and helped and Parent Council for helping to pay for the trip too.

Scottish Celebration Afternoon

We had a fantastic afternoon on Friday 24th. January celebrating everything Scottish!

The children were piped into the hall  by Mrs Fridge’s son and then the class winners performed their Scottish poems.

Each class then performed a songs/songs or a Scottish dance.

Mrs Chalamanda and the wonderful Ardoch Strings then performed The Skye Boat song.

Finally the overall class winners of the poetry competition were announced and the Bobby Muir Cup was presented to the overall winner.

Thank you to Mr Mackay and Mrs McGaffney who were our judges, to Mrs Fridge and her son on drums and pipes and thank you to all parents, grandparents and friends of the school who came along!

 

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!
