Primary 1 arrived at school to find a ‘Dragon Mail’ box that was left for them.
Inside we found a letter from the Friendly Dragon. Miss McNeill read it to us.
Inside the box we also found lots of pictures and fairy dust!
We are all so sad to hear that Once Upon a Time Land is disappearing. We promise to help the Friendly Dragon by reading and writing as many fairytales as we can.
Thank you to everyone who bought 1kg of rice from P4 Fairtraders. We have sold all 90kg which means a child can go to High School for a year in Malawi. Enough money has been made by the farmer to pay the school fees.
Every class took part in this year’s competition which was to draw and colour a picture which included the Fairtrade logo. Every class had one winner and the overall winners were Dylan P4a, Jennifer P6a and Sofia P5b. The prizes were Fairtrade chocolate and key rings. The judges were the P4 Fairtrade committee. All the entries were very good and the best are now on display in school.
This year’s school competition is to draw a picture which includes the Fairtrade logo, for example as the eye of an animal or in the fabric of a dress. All pupils will have time in class to make an entry. There is a prize for each class. The closing date is 28 February . We are looking forward to seeing lots of imaginative ideas.
I realise that it is a few weeks since we sent home the letter regarding costumes so I hope you find the reminder below helpful.
On the day your child is taking the lead part we will provide costumes for Joseph, Mary, donkey, angels, wise men, shepherds, innkeepers and innkeepers’ wives and lambs. We now also have outfits for stars. Black or dark trousers are still required for the stable cows and donkeys but we have black T shirts for them too.
For the other performances your child will play the part of a citizen and should bring in a simple costume to wear. This could be a plain coloured or striped dressing gown + a tea towel as a headdress for boys or a simple tunic with a belt + a headsquare or shawl for girls. Some tips for making a simple “no sew” costume can be found at http://www.makeyourownnativitycostumes.co.uk/files/no-sew-costume.php. An old curtain, folded in half with a slit cut for the head to get through can also work very well.
Please note that our dress rehearsal to the rest of the school is on Wednesday morning so costumes should be sent in before then in a clearly labelled bag.
This is a live link to this year’s pantomime performance! We’re loving watching The Wizard of Oz – so far we’ve met Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Lion and the Wicked Witch of the West. Lots of laughs, songs to join in with and our Christmas lunch to look forward to too!
It was all change on Friday when teachers swapped classes to read a story as part of Book Week Scotland. Some of our Primary 1-3 pupils also dressed up as book characters (and so did some of the teachers). Great fun all round!
This week is Book Week Scotland and today all three Primary 1 classes set off to visit Bridge of Weir library where we were treated to some story telling and had the chance to find out what our local library has to offer. Everyone received a Bookbug Family Bag which contained lovely books for us to take home. Many thanks to Jacqui Gilvaney and the staff from Renfrewshire Libraries who helped arrange our visit.
We’ve had a few requests from people who were unable to attend the P1 Curriculum event on 6 September so we thought we would share the PowerPoint which was shown on the evening. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Mrs Kent.
