Pupils in Primary 6 took part in a Holocaust Memorial Service today at the Town Hall. Some pupils shared poems they had written after learning about Anne Frank. Two pupils laid a wreath on behalf of the staff and pupils at Bell’s Brae Primary.
Christmas Parties
There was a lovely atmosphere in the school yesterday with lots of parties taking place. Fun party games were played and there was lots of nice food to share.
Children In Need
We have had a super day at Bell’s Brae raising money for Children In Need. Children came to school in their onesies or pyjamas and made a donation. Some classes iced cakes and sold them at the Tuck Shop. At assembly the p1-7 classes learned more about the charity and how the money raised is used. We raised £336.79! Thank you to all who helped to raise this fantastic amount.

P7 transition mornings
Both P7 classes have spent a morning up at the AHS this week. They all participated in cooperative learning activities with pupils from other Primary schools and they were supported by Secondary 2 AHS pupils. They had the chance to explore the building, meet new people and try out the lunches at the AHS. We have had super feedback from the pupils.
