Open Area Fun

We have been playing in the open area and discovering all the new activities that have been developing our senses, literacy skills, climbing skills and lots more.  Abby enjoyed using the letters in the water to spell her nouns, verbs and adjectives.  Matthew and Reece were making a spider mountain in the sand.

Blake and Joshua had lots of fun in the water tray playing with the foam. Blake said that if we could feel clouds this is what it would feel like.  The foam made Bryoni think about the snow and how she could make a snowman.

We are going to get a dark tent and lights put into our area after the Christmas holidays we can’t wait.

Christmas Fair Preparations

If you can smell a wonderful aroma in the upper school this afternoon it will be coming from Primary 6/5. We have been busy preparing some non-alcoholic mulled wine for the Christmas fair. We will be giving out cups of mulled wine outside from 12.45pm on Friday while the choir are singing so come early to give it a try. If you would like to try making your own at home you will find the recipe here http://www.onetoonemidwives.org/recipes/christmas-fruit-punch-non-alcoholic-mulled-wine

Ralph the Reindeer

Congratulations to all the pupils and staff, particularly Mrs Croser and Mrs Murphy, for their FANTASTIC Christmas show of Ralph the Reindeer. The acting skills and singing skills were outstanding and clearly showed how confident our young people are. Thank you also to Mrs Hendrie, Miss Benson, Mrs Woodhouse and Stephanie for all their help backstage and in preparation for this event.

The primary 3 pupils also put on a brilliant performance and their wonderful singing filled the hall with melodic sounds. Thank you to Mrs Campbell for all her hard work in preparing the children for this.

Christmas Art Club

The Primary 1  & Primary 2 children have been very busy helping to make the nativity setting.  I think we will all agree the children have accomplished an impressive stage setting for our nativity.

Mrs Denholm, Mrs Benson and Mrs Woodhouse have also done a super job displaying the children’s work.  Many thanks to all three ladies for their hard work and dedication.

I would also like to say a great, big thank you to Mrs Maxwell who volunteered her help in the Art club, so that every child who applied for a place was able to obtain one.

Also a big thank you to Mrs Wilson for donating large rolls of paper and card.  We have put it all to very good use!

Finally I would like to wish everyone a very happy and merry Christmas.
