Bring and Buy Sale

Time to clear out your cupboards for Christmas! P2 are planning to hold a Bring and Buy Sale in the school hall on Wednesday 29 November.  So please take time to clear out your unwanted toys, DVDs, CDs, books etc.  All donations of items in good condition will be welcome.

Children should bring their donations to school from Monday 6 November. All monies raised through this enterprise will support activities in school.

Rag Bag Recycling

Do you have any unwanted clothing cluttering up your wardrobes? If so please help us to raise funds for our school by filling the Rag Bag and return to school on Thursday 16th November 2017 (We can only accept Rag Bags on the morning of this day.)

Any unwanted wearable clothing, all fashions, all ages, paired shoes, handbags and belts are welcome.

Children will be rewarded with 10 Eco house points.

Thank you in advance for supporting this event.

Today we joined with the primary one and two classes for the Halloween Costume Parade! We all looked fantastic!

When we returned to class we carved a scary, spooky, pumpkin! We all enjoyed dooking for apples! Some of us were brave enough to put our face in the water!! We had a fantastic party with lots of dancing, musical chairs, pass the spooky pumpkin and ate lots of sweeties!

Friday Clubs

Many of you will be aware that the school is benefitting from additional funding from the Scottish Government. This has allowed us to have more teaching staff to support Language and Maths. Time has been identified on Friday afternoons and our four additional staff are running clubs for Primaries 4 to 7.

• Primaries 4 and 5 are working with recipes and cooking. For all children this will support their Literacy skills, social interaction with peers and skills for life in the kitchen.
• Primary 6 are taking part in a board games club and some in a book club. For all children this will support their Literacy skills and social interaction with peers.
• Primary 7 are working on a magazine to be published at Christmas time. For all children this will support their Literacy skills, social interaction with peers, encourage self-confidence and working as a team.

Our hope is to involve as many children as possible in these clubs over the course of the session. The clubs are already underway with the first groups. Please contact the school if you have any concerns.

Monday Morning Activities

We have been trying hard with lots of activities to develop our fine motor skills. Look at how busy we have been ripping paper, cutting paper and painting with a toothbrush!

We also enjoyed the listening game where we had to dance around the class and move in the way we were told (crawling, jumping, hopping, running) to a bean bag when the music stopped!

We have all been very very busy!
