Today we had so much fun in our class.  Our class teacher set us a task to experience what it would be like to be a palaeontologist.

Task: Using a cocktail stick and a chocolate chip cookie (the chocolate chips being the dinosaur fossils), we had to dig out every fossil without breaking the cookie otherwise we weren’t allowed to eat the cookie. Everyone in the class managed to dig out their fossils without breaking the cookie.

Lucy said ‘it was the best day ever’

Cristian & Joseph said ‘we loved it’

Aaron Mc, Finlay and Jamie gave it a thumbs up!

Winners – Goblet of Good Manners

Our class were the winners of the ‘Goblet of Good Manner’s. I’m so proud of every single child in our class as they have contributed to this award.

This has been a short week to start the New Year but we have had a very positive start!  We have been learning about the origins of New Year’s celebrations and we have also been writing  our New Year’s resolutions for 2016! We hope we will be successful with them.

Great fun was had by all at today’s Christmas Party, the children and staff danced their socks off!

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.
