P2 children are learning about Fairtrade produce. We are collecting Fairtrade wrappers, boxes etc. to make a display in school. If you have any wrappers with the Fairtrade logo on the side please send them to school. Thank you!

Rhys made a model of himself with Mrs Cochrane and said, this is me!

We have been using the STEM boxes in class to challenge ourselves. Abbey then came to  school having made a model out of old boxes and cardboard. We are now all making models in class and will write about them.

We had our Christmas Party today and it was great fun. We had a special visitor who gave us some presents. We played party games and had some party food.

Today there was a group of boys and girls that received a special award. They got it for having 100% attendance in school from August to December 2016. They received a certificate and a special pencil. A huge well done to them and their families who help get them to school.

Well done to Kimberley, Kayla and Aaron for achieving 100% attendance in Primary 2 from August to December. Here they are with their certificates and prizes.

Today the boys and girl in nursery came all dressed up. They looked amazing in their party outfits. They had great fun showing off their moves with some cool dancing. There were prizes to be won in some party games including pass the parcel and musical chairs. They were able to refuel with some party food including some ice-cream (shhh!). They even had a very special visitor who could hear them singing Jingle Bells and came to see them.

Today there was lots of excitement in the school because Miss Tuke brought her dog Amos in to visit the classes. P1 had been learning about pets so he was coming in to see them and Miss Tuke would talk about how to look after a dog. The P1 boys and girls enjoyed learning about Amos, getting to stroke him and ask questions. Miss Tuke then took him to other classes for a talk about being responsible dog owners and how to be with dogs they meet outside. Again the boys and girls were so enthusiastic to learn about Amos and share what they knew. They all enjoyed stroking him and giving him cuddles. Amos is a very calm dog and this helped even the boys and girls who are usually a little bit scared of dogs to feel safe and enjoy the visit too. He had a great calming effect for some children who can find it hard to concentrate. Amos and Miss Tuke hope the boys and girls can take what they learnt and share it with doggy owners at home.

Mrs Cochrane has been working hard with the P2 children to make crafts to sell at the Christmas Fair on Friday 9th December. Please come along and buy some of our wonderful crafts which include Christmas tree decorations, placemats and candle holders.
