Mrs Vallance’s Big Day

Mrs Vallance had a wonderful day celebrating her retirement and loved visiting all the classes to let them see her lovely gifts.   Her sporting hero Andy Murray wasn’t able to be there in person but a life size cut out accompanied her on her visits and a card from Judy, Andy and Jamie Murray (just about) made up for it.  Each class presented Mrs Vallance with a special memento and the day was full of surprises including a “flash mob” dance in the playground and a rendition of Carol King’s “You’ve Got A Friend” both of which involved every pupil in the school.   Our theme for the day was Wimbledon and finished off with a nail biting tennis  final between Stanley in P6 and Findlay in P5. The whole school watched as the boys thrashed it out in a very closely contested game with  Findlay  just edging ahead and becoming the very first winner of the Vallance Cup.  The standard of tennis was outstanding – watch out Andy Murray!
