The pupils at Meldrum Primary School wore their Christmas jumpers to school today, raising money for charity at the same time.
A total of £282.33 pence was raised for CLIC Sargent, a charity to help families deal with childhood cancer.  This was a fantastic effort from all involved and a great way to end the term.
Well done!

P5 have been very fortunate to have had rugby training this term. Over the weeks we’ve learned new skills and rules and have progressed to playing touch rugby matches. We have really enjoyed the experience and lots of us have been inspired to join a club to keep training and playing.
Here are some things we’ve learned:
‘Now I know to do a ‘W’ shape with my hands to catch the ball. There are 15 people in a rugby team so 30 on the pitch all together. You can’t pass forward but have to run forwards then pass the ball backwards.’ Ellie T
‘I am now able to pass the ball properly by pointing at where you want the ball to go as you throw it. I’m better at working in a team.’ Paul
‘I am able to evade people better and to pass the ball more accurately.’ Now I’d like to get more rugby involved at Meldrum.’ Ryan G

Primary 7 visited Sky recently and took part in their Academy skills program. The Academy focuses on the need for team work in producing a news report on a variety of topics.
Primary 7’s topic was the use of mobile phones within schools. The class were split into groups and asked to produce a clip detailing particular information. Every pupil took on a role – Producer, Director, Editor, Cameraman, Presenter, Scriptwriter. The videoclips were then put together into the final clip you see below.
The class had a fantastic time and all performed to a high standard. Well done Primary 7!

A Little Bird Told Me
On a cold, snowy night in the middle of winter, little Robin is shivering away wishing she could be somewhere a bit warmer. When a little bird tells her of some exciting news about the birth of a very special King far away in Bethlehem, Robin decides to join a flock of birds flying south to visit the baby. On their way they meet shepherds, angels and wise men and come up with their own unique present for baby Jesus.
Well done to our P1 pupils for their fantastic acting and to our P2 and P3 pupils for their superb singing which helped to tell our Nativity story.
