Stars in our eyes!

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!

Nursery Week

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.”

Busy, Busy, busy!

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!

Arty Art Attack

 

Messy (but productive) was the key word in p6 this week!  Everyone loved creating their centre of the earth artwork using pastels and managed to smudge their pastels everywhere!  Chloe thought it started off as being tricky but when she got into it, it was easier.  A lot of us weren’t keen to smudge and blend colours but as Katie said, “it turned out really well when I did”.  Look out for these pieces of art when you come to visit us on our points homework sharing day on Thursday.  Sean really enjoyed painting the rovers on his Mars landscape.  We learned how to blend colours, create shine and a 3D effect.  Our festive crafts started this week when we attended the ‘Bubblegum and Fluff’ event at the Lanthorn.  We made tiles to represent images of Christmas.  If you’re wondering what bubblegum and fluff has to do with Christmas, it was a story about a piece of bubblegum with fluff all over it.  Although it was icky on the outside, it was still a good piece of bubblegum on the inside.  The little piece of bubblegum on the inside represented Christmas and the fluff is all the things that are added on like chocolate, lights, presents, trees etc.  Overall, P6 enjoyed their week and still have the bubblegum and fluff story stuck in their heads.
