We have taken a number of classes out of school this week into the local community and surrounding area, to learn across the wider curriculum.
P7 had a wonderful time skiing at Hillend on a Tuesday of this week with all children making good progress after their first lesson.
Our P1 children had a visit to Tesco to sample a range of different fruits as part of their learning about Africa and the book ‘Handa’s Surprise.’
P5 visited Cross House to take part in an RME experience associated with Christmas.
Today, P6B led a super assembly about the benefits of reading and our contribution to the First Minister’s Reading Challenge. Did you know that we now have a group of children who run a lunchtime ‘book club’ in school as well as an infant ‘reading committee’ which is led by Mrs Kennedy? We all love reading at Springfield and sharing our experiences of different texts.
Thank you to all children and families who have made and handed in a Santa or Snowman decoration for our two Xmas trees which will be at the Festival or Christmas Trees at St Michael’s Church next weekend. We hope that you will go along to the church to see our trees if you have time.
Next week our Christmas festivities start with our nursery sing-along with a visit from Santa. We also have our pupil and staff Xmas lunch on Thursday 6th.
Our latest newsletter will come out next week with more of our news and events for the new year.
Have a great weekend!
Miss Baillie xx💖
