A huge thank you to all our parents for signing the permissions slips which have allowed us for the first time to produce the video of both performances.

We hope to be able to upload the video with some support from the IT.

On Friday, P6 & 7 handed in their points homework based on the topic of ‘Our World’.  Each pupil had a number of weeks to prepare 40 points worth of homework.  We will be presenting our work on Thursday 19^th December at 2.15pm and invite parents to come in and interact with our excellent work.   

Mrs Molife and Mrs Kendal from JYHS paid us a visit today with the results of the maths challenge.  Although we didn’t win the trophy we all did well and had fun.  Congratulations to the Space Stars team (Tamzin W, Courtney, Shannon W, Maria & Demileigh) who were the overall winning team representing Bankton.

We have been practising our dances and games for our party on Tuesday coming and are really looking forward to it. 

Lately we have been rehearsing for the Carol Service and some P7 pupils have been selected to read parts of the Christmas story. 

We have enjoyed sorting and delivering the Christmas post but sadly the last day for collection is Monday.   

The whole school was invited to see the P1-3 dress rehearsal of their show ‘Gabriel’s Big Break’.  We thought they were all Bankton stars and are sure that the parents would have enjoyed the shows too!

Fact of the Week

Did you know when volcanoes erupt they send ash into the air over 17 miles high?

Primary 5 have been learning various social dances including, Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant, Military Two Step and Canadian Barn Dance. They are great fun and we will be dancing them at our Christmas party this afternoon. Barry thinks social dance, “is fun because I like learning dance moves.”
We have been learning about Saints and know the Patron Saints of Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales. Owen thought, “the saints were very interesting because you learned what good things they did for Christianity.”
We have had wonderful success with our Christmas Enterprise and only have a few items left to sell. Emma, “had fun selling and you really had to persuade people to buy more crafts.”
We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

The boys and girls in primary 1 to 3 wowed their parents and family friends with amazing performances in their rendition of Gabrielle’s Big Break this week.  We were so proud of them as they sang beautifully, acted out their lines with expression and remembered to come in on cue!  Both performances entertained, provided Christmas cheer and I am sure brought a tear to some eyes!  Well done, boys and girls!  You are all stars!

We have a new member of staff, our Apprentice Nursery Janitor – Scott McFarlane . Scott comes on a Friday morning to organize our outdoor area and takes out paper waste to the recycling area. 

We are all excited about next weeks activities which start on Monday with Magic Mac.

Christmas Joke

One of the boys getting into the Christmas spirit to us this morning ” There was no room in the bin.”

Primary 2 have had a very busy week, we’ve participated in ‘Gabriel’s Big Break’ twice (as well as some last minute rehearsals), we’ve been rehearsing for next week’s Carol Service and we still found time to make our enterprise decorations and learn more about the nativity story.

We’ve finished our enterprise now and some of our parent’s have already bought our Christmas Tree Decorations.  We made them using salt dough, they are in the shape of our hands, but they are Santa!
