MacMillan Coffee Morning & Roald Dahl Day 2013

Will as the Enormous Crocodile & Jacob as the BFG

Thank you to everyone who attended our annual MacMillan Coffee Morning on Friday 27th September 2013.  It was a HUGE success with an amazing £323 raised so far!!

As the coffee morning coincided with the Roald Dahl ‘Dahlicious’ Dress Up Day, we will split the money equally among the 2 charities.

Alfie Muir’s mum works for MacMillan Cancer Support and the P7 pupils will be inviting her in to share how the money raised will be spent.

Thank you again to everyone who donated cakes and to those who attended!  This event helped to raise awareness of everyone right to medical care when they require it (UNCRC Article 24).

P1/2 Edinburgh Visit

Primary 1 and 2 also visited Edinburgh on Monday.  We were able to look at the different shops and street furniture as we walked down to the Museum of Childhood where were saw lots of old toys and were able to handle different objects.  After lunch at Moray House College of Education we walked up to the National Museum passing Greyfriars Bobby on the way.  We had very tired legs by the time we got back on the bus.

P3/4/5’s Trip to Edinburgh

Yesterday Primary 3/4/5 went on a school trip into Ednburgh to learn more about Burke and Hare, our topic in class. We arrived at the Surgeon’s Hall Museum and were met by Thomas who kindly spoke to us about Burke and Hare. The children were able to demonstrate exactly how much we had learnt, answering questions and discussing the gruesome twosome! Before leaving we guessed what some mystery objects were and explored Surgeon’s Hall ourselves, looking more closely at all those body parts in jars. Before lunch we were met by our three tour guides who took us all on a walk around Edinburgh’s Old Town. We went up the closes and down the stairs, finding out lots of interesting facts about Burke and Hare along the way. We even managed to visit Greyfriar’s Kirkyard and the statue of Greyfriar’s Bobby to tie in with our class novel. Have a look at some of our photographs from the day!
