P1 Church Visit to St Ninian’s Craigmailen Church

This morning both P1 classes visited St Ninian’s Craigmailen Church. We met Mr Houston the minister and were able to ask him lots of questions.

We took along our baby doll “Louis” so that Mr Houston could  show us what happens at a Baptism ceremony.  We learned that it is not just babies that get baptised and that the oldest person Mr Houston has baptised was 72!

When we returned to school we had a small party to celebrate with cake and a glass of lemonade. There was lots of toasting “baby Louis and the proud parents and Godparents”

Thank you very much to all of the parents who joined us this morning and to Mr Houston for welcoming us to the Church.

A very busy day for P1a!

This morning we were very excited to visit the P7 Christmas market which was raising money for the PJ foundation.  We loved looking at all the stalls and admiring the lovely things that the P7 children had made. Lots of goodies were bought and the Grinch nerf gun challenge was very popular too! Well done P7 – you made a super effort and hopefully have raised lots of money too!

Later we had a special Christmas craft afternoon with our P6a buddies back in our own classroom.  Everyone learned about the story of the Christingle and made one using an orange, red ribbon, a small candle, some cocktail sticks and dried fruit.

Below are some lovely pictures of us making lots of different Christmassy things with the buddies!
