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.
