Mr Richards, one of our P7-6 teachers is leaving today to take up a new job in Edinburgh.  We are all going to miss him at Murrayfield and we wish him all the best in his new school.  We are looking forward to seeing him when he pops in to visit us.

We have had a busy week, finding out about China and Chinese New Year stories and customs, making decorations and props for our dramatisation of the story of the Rooster, the Dragon and the Centipede.   We performed the drama at our Assembly and were complimented by some of the younger children who really enjoyed it.

We had a few lightbulb moments when we learned our fractions this week and can now place missing fractions on number lines confidently.  There were lots of smiley faces as we burst out of our learning pit!

Our Scottish Ceilidh preparations are coming along really well and we nearly have co-ordinated feet and everyone spinning in the same direction.  It has been a lot of fun and we have had a lot of laughs along the way.

The lure of the snow is making us impatient for the weekend and we can’t wait to get outside to hopefully build a snowman, if there is enough snow.
