Furry Friends!
Today Yazmine’s Dad brought four of their puppies in to see us. They are only six weeks old and felt very soft.
We talked about the different things the puppies did and washed our hands carefully when they went away. We would all like to say thank you to Yazmine’s dad again for taking the time to bring them in for us to see.
A Friend for Rudolph!
We had a new friend join us in the nursery today. Frosty the Snowman arrived this morning and is now keeping Rudolph company. Another huge thank you to Carli’s Papa who has been busy again making this for us.
It was a fabulous surprise!
Christmas Writing
In class we are writing a Christmas story for the nursery children .The story is about an unexpected visitor who tries to ruin Christmas. It is split into different sections. We had to also make a door and our character which we made out of different materials. Although this story is challenging to write it is lots fun.

P6 Write About the Learning Pit
P6 have been busy learning about the learning pit. We wrote a description of what the learning pit means to us, then we voted on the best description. We chose Beth.K, Arran and Kalanah’s. Here it is……
The learning pit is a place where it helps you learn and gets you out of a hard situation. When you are stuck in the learning pit you might feel frustrated, confused, annoyed, sad, angry, miserable or depressed. You may have a feeling that you have hit rock bottom and you can’t do it, but all you have to think is “I can’t do it…YET!”
You can use strategies to get out of the learning pit. Things like asking a friend, using surroundings, WAGOLL (what a good one looks like), us the 4Bs (brain, boards/boxes/books, buddy, boss), thinking or asking a teacher.
You need to use a growth mindset to think, not a fixed one because you need to keep trying and trying. There are lots of sayings to help you get out of the pit. For example, “the learning pit will lead you to success” and “it’s ok not to know but it’s not ok not to try.”
BINGO!!
Enterprise evening last night was very successful. All the stalls were run by the students and we were all really proud of them! A big thanks to all the parents and other staff that helped out on the night, you were so great! The callers were loud and clear and even had a few funny bits! ( Legs 11) Congratulations to all the bingo and raffle winners it was great to see so many people out enjoying themselves and having a good time!!
Nativity
A huge well done to the boys and girls in Primary 1, Primary 2 and Primary 3 for two fantastic performances of our nativity. We hope you enjoyed the performances.
Nativity
Well done to all the boys and girls in P1, 2 and 3 on your fantastic nativity performances this week. Everyone did really well with amazing singing, narrating, acting, speaking parts and instrument playing. You all did a great job and told the Christmas story really well, making everyone really proud. A big thank you goes out to our Primary 7 technical team who helped with the music and the lights during our performances and Mrs Smail for helping to organise all the costumes and being the official photographer!!
Here are some of the stars all dressed up in their nativity gear. Looking good Primary 1b!
Well done Primary One
Miss Rodford wants to say a massive well done to all the Primary One children who worked so hard practising their lines and the songs!!!
Well done !!!! Give yourselves a pat on the back!!
Merry Christmas !!!
Bubblegum and Fluff
What? We hear you cry!
That’s what we thought until Darren and his fantastic team from the Lanthorn came along this afternoon to work with all the Primary 6s.
We learned that the ‘bubblegum’ is the true meaning of Christmas which can get lost with all the extra ‘fluff’ such as shopping, decorations etc.
We created our own tile with our chosen Christmas symbol and a number of children dressed up to help retell the Christmas story.
Have a look and see what you think!
