This term the children have asked for our post office to be changed into Santa’s workshop. They are going to be very busy little elves, making lists, designing and making toys, looking at letters to Santa and delivering some presents using our programmable Beebot. They will also design their own wrapping paper for presents and use this to wrap all the presents. We have been very busy learning their song ‘Murder in the chip shop’ for our St Andrews day celebration and of course all of the songs and lines for The Grumpy Sheep.

The boys and girls in primary 1 have been very busy this term. We have all settled into a routine in the classroom and have been working very hard. We have recently presented an assembly to our parents and the whole school and we are now preparing for the nativity play – The Grumpy Sheep. We enjoyed helping the fairies in the forest last term and especially our visit from the Fizzy Pop Fairy and mischievous Mel. Photographs of these events are in our primary 1 photo album and you are welcome to come and look at these at the end of the school day. The children also learned about Elmer and his jungle environment and used the computer to create their own Elmers and these can be seen on the wall in the main corridor.
