Christmas Jumper Day – Friday the 15th

1 Comment

Hi Parents/Carers,

On the 15th of December we are having a non-uniform day.  We would like children to come to school in Christmas Jumpers and donate a £1 towards Save the Children.

You do not need to splurge on a new jumper,  you can get the children to be creative and make their own unique Christmas jumper!  There will be a prize for the best “SUPER SILLY SWEATER”! 🙂 This means get your tinsel, baubles, pom poms at the ready! At Murrayfield we are always encouraging our pupils to be creative so lets get our silliest sweaters on for December 15th! 🙂

By taking part in Christmas Jumper Day we as a Rights Respecting school are looking out for the rights of children in need, who require their rights to be protected.  [UNCRC article 2: All children have these rights, Article 3:  Adults must do what is best for us,  Article 6:  I should be supported to live and grow, Article 24: I have the right to good quality health care, to clean water and good food, Article 27: I have the right to have a proper house food and clothing]

“Make the world better with your sweaters. By joining in on Christmas Jumper Day, you’re helping to save children’s lives. Together we can be there when children need us most. When they’re in danger we can keep working to keep them safe. When they’re sick, cold and hungry we can keep working to bring them food and water, medicine and shelter. Because of your help, we can keep making the world better
for children everywhere.” (Save the Children)

Eat your heart out, Gustave Eiffel!

Leave a comment

Well done Callen Johnston, who ate his breakfast at the Breakfast Club and then moved on to create his own Statue of Liberty, using ZOOB construction pieces!  Here he is, proudly displaying his work.   For those of you who didn’t know, Gustave Eiffel also helped to build the Statue of Liberty in New York.  Callen is showing great promise as a future engineer.

If you would like to come along to Breakfast Club and take part in making exciting models, building with Lego, catching up with friends or taking part in our Wednesday morning exercise group, come along and join us at 8.15am every morning!  Everyone is welcome, from P1 – P7.  (Sorry Mums, Dads and Carers – you will have to get your own breakfast!)

This morning we launched our new and improved Vertical Groups to develop skills for life, learning and work.  Once a month every pupil will have the opportunity to experience a fabulous Vertical Group activity.  Here is what we got up to this morning:

Through our Vertical Groups we are creating:

  • CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS
  • RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS
  • EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS
  • INDEPENDENT LEARNERS

Thank you to all our staff who made this morning possible.  We look forward to our next Marvelous Morning on Friday 22nd December!
