Our school week actually began on Sunday, 22nd November when our school choir sang on stage in the Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow at Mary’s Meals open day! The choir opened the event by singing ‘Just a Single Voice’ and ‘Lean on Me’ reflecting the history of Mary’s Meals of Magnus McFarlane-Burrow being the single voice who was so moved by the plight of children in Bosnia he decided to start the organisation. Our children then closed the afternoon presentations by singing their rendition of Paolo Nutini’s ‘High Hopes’, echoing the message of having hope, part of the vision of Mary’s Meals. Mrs Cluckie, Mrs Phillips, Mrs Tappenden and I were very proud of all of our children who sang beautifully and behaved impeccably throughout the day.
On Thursday afternoon, Rooms 2 and 3 were joined by their parents and grandparents who helped the children write instructions on how to make a sandwich. They began by making the actual sandwich and then had to write the instructions together. The language lesson is part of the pupils’ interdisciplinary topic of ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’. Photographs of the afternoon can be seen in our gallery.
Our Junior Road Safety Officers have been working extra hard this term. Our pupils have commented that they have noticed some cars drive the wrong way round our one way system and that they drive quickly therefore, the JRSOs have shown the infant classes the safe way to enter and exit the school grounds by using the pedestrian crossing and making sure they stay on the pavements.
Our Christmas Fayre is on Friday 4th December and our Christmas Crafts Club have been busy creating decorations and gifts to be sold at the fayre. With only 3 weeks to go until our Christmas holidays, we are looking forward to a busy week ahead!
