What a very busy time P2/1 have been having!  Over the past few weeks we have been busy making lots of beautiful things for the Christmas Fayre – which was a great success, so Thank You!  Our class raised nearly £70 so we will enjoy spending our money on new games for RAP time after the New Year.

Yesterday we received a letter from the main man of the season – Santa Claus!!  He wrote to us to tell us that some of his elves had been a bit silly and had forgotten to write down the things that children had wanted beside their name.  He asked for our help to write another letter to check if he had managed to sort everything out!  Our Primary 2 girls worked very hard with Mrs Campbell on this job and Primary 1 did a fantastic job of writing their letters.  Lots of detailed pictures and great sounding out of words using sounds that they know.  These letters are sure to make Santa’s job very easy!

Our main focus over the past couple of weeks has of course been our Christmas Nativity.  The boys and girls have been working extremely hard to learn their lines, song words and all of their stage actions.  You are going to be very impressed when you come along to see it.  It was exciting last week when we got to try on our costumes for the first time!!  Our first Show is on Tuesday at 1.30pm and our evening performance is at 6.00pm.  We can’t wait for you to see our show!

Primary Four would like to firstly thank everyone for coming to our stall at the Christmas Fayre on Tuesday and buying our products which helped us to make a good profit.  We will now be able to decide what we would like to spend our money on to help our learning in our classroom.

We would also like to say a big thanks to the PTA for organising the Christmas Fayre and for our new games box which we have already used this week during indoor break.

Miss Eunson would also like to remind the children and parents that we will be outside for gym on Monday so please bring suitable gym outdoor gym kits and footwear.

P2/1 had a very busy morning emptying the Christmas post box and then sorting out all the mail so they could deliver it to the right class!!! We hope everyone got their Christmas cards today!!!

Apologies for this not being uploaded at the end of last week, the glow system was down on Friday for all staff until Monday which meant Miss Eunson could not get access to post on the blog.

Here is our post from Friday:

Primary Four have had a very busy week.  On Tuesday we loved sharing our learning with parents and showing them how we do paired reading with Primary Seven. We have enjoyed making our crafts and getting prepared for the Christmas Fayre next Tuesday.  On Wednesday, we enjoyed a visit from baby Archie during our Roots of Empathy and were so pleased to see how happy and smiley he was. Today, in P4 we got a visit from a special Elf on the Shelf who came with a letter asking us to create a name for him.
