Just before we broke up for Christmas, we held a very successful games afternoon. All the boys and girls from Primary 1 to Primary 7 came to he hall to play against each other. We had a Christmas snakes and ladders (chimneys and candy canes) and’ make a Monty’ game. Everyone had such a good time and made lots of new friends.
Choir days out
The Choir have been out and about raising money. We visited Harthill Senior Citizen Centre last Thursday where we spread some Christmas cheer. We would like to thank them for their generous donation and presents for the children. Yesterday, we made our annual visit to Tesco. We received a warm reception and would like to thank Tesco once again for supporting the school. We would also like to thank all
the friends and family who came along to support the children.
Pupils v Adults Football
A massive thank you to our wonderful parents who came along to our final football club. Your support was very welcome and we all had a great time. There were some very close scores and tough competition.
Thank you for our spectators and a big thank you to Robert Marshall, Brain Laing, Colin Rogerson, Kirsty Cunningham and Kevin Buntin for playing football with the pupils.
Hope to see you all at the next one. Have a lovely Christmas break.
The football club and Mrs Monahan
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.
Primary 5/4s news
This week we have been learning all about Sudoku. We used number puzzles first and have now had a go at Christmas picture sudoku. Have a look at the puzzle and see if you can work it out with someone in your family.
We have started our broach making with hama beads for our Christmas enterprise and are very excited about selling them at the Christmas fair.
In our literacy we have been challenged by playing Boggle. Look at the picture below, see how many words you can make in one minute. the challenge is a 6 or 7 letter word.
Finally we have also been busy designing our hall displays. Adam and Jades designs were chosen to be created for the hall. All the pupils have worked very hard and been extremely creative.
