Primary 4 and Primary 5 Christmas Party
Primary 4 and 5 had a wonderful afternoon at their Christmas party!
RSPB Visit
Primary 4 were very lucky to be the first class to welcome our visitors from the RSPB to our school.
We had lots of discussion about habitats and what we can do to help animals who want to live (or do live) in our school grounds.
We went on a walk around the school to look out for habitats which we have and we got to keep record of how many we have and how many points we scored.
Our school got 119 points and we were only missing 2 habitats! We were very proud of our score and really enjoyed being out to explore our school, even if it was very chilly!
Here are some photos of us all having fun:
Tinsel Tree
Peppy our elf has been moving around our classroom a lot this week. We have found him hanging from the star, in our house points jar, in our Monday folder and hanging from the door. We were all very excited and we are happy to have him in our classroom.
This week we have also begun to learn a French song. It is called ‘Vive le Vent’ which is the French version of Jingle Bells! We worked out that it actually means ‘long live the wind’.
Jessica – “We were playing moneys with Mrs Struthers. We had to roll two dice and we were given amounts of money. The aim of the game was to collect more money than others”
Darcy – “We worked with Mrs Struthers to complete a maths workbook page. We did really well!”
Primary 4 also were given 12 drummers drumming and 4 calling birds to make for the hall decorations. We used paint and collage materials to create them and they look wonderful.
Festive Home Learning: Part 1
On Friday I visited P1S, P4 and P5 and children shared with me their table decorations. They described what they used and explained how they made them. A big thank you to all who took part, they look fantastic! I look forward to visiting more classes this week.
Christmas Fayre 2017
On Friday we held our annual Christmas Fair, organised by our Parent Partners Group. The choir opened the event by singing some Christmas songs and all the classes had taken part in Enterprise projects which they sold at the fair. Our nurture groups, outdoor club and parent craft club also had stalls. Our P7 Young Leaders came along and worked at some of the stands and even set up their own nail bar. Thanks to everyone who organised the event and to all those who visited and donated to school funds.

P1-3 Buddy’s Gift Book Bags
There was lots of excitement in the infant department today as P1 received their Bookbug Bags from their P7 buddy’s. They looked through the bags together and P7 read them some stories.
P4 gifted P3, and P6 gifted P2 with their Read, Write, Count Bags. They explored the bags together and even found some games to play.
The P1-3 children will take their bags home tomorrow, and we have invited parents, carers and families along at 2:30pm on Tuesday to look through the bags with their child.

Pumphie Pals: Golden Time Consultation
As Golden Time is an important part of our school ethos, the House and Vice Captains decided they would like to consult with the whole school on what is working and what might need changed. We used our Pumphie Pals time today to explore what it might look like in the New Year. Our House and Vice Captains will now meet to collate this information.
