Thank you very much to all of our families who came along and enjoyed a session with their child/children in school to look at how and what we learn in Support for Learning Groups.  The sessions have been a great success and most importantly the children have really loved them!  Keep the feedback forms coming in so we can make them even better next time!

Many thanks,

Mrs Sinclair

SfL Teacher

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.

This week was a very short but busy week back. We are all glad  to be back.  We have started out new topic on castles and we are very excited about all the fun activities we can do.  out new science topic is electricity and we have had a lot of success lighting up bulbs and making buzzer sound.  We are continuing our work on bench ball and look forward to playing a mini tournament in class.  In maths we worked through some problem solving activities which some people found quite challenging.  Congratulations to Emma R. on her work becoming a rookie lifeguard.

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

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!!

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.

Christmas Jingle Enterprise

We have been busy little elves making Rudolph decorations, candy cane mice and reindeer dust to sell at our Nativity. So mums, dads, grans and grandads please bring along lots of money to buy some of our enterprise crafts.

 Nativity Rehearsal

 Today Primary 2 and Primary 2/3 took part in their first rehearsal with the primary 1s and everyone read out their line loudly and clearly and sang out loud like little angels. We were really proud of our children confidently saying their lines that they had been learning in class and at home – thank you to the parents for assisting with this! Believe me when I say it, a show not to be missed. Tickets are selling fast, so don’t miss out.
