A Time of Remembrance…

Eczema Outreach Scotland

Joseph and I have been working really hard last term to raise money for Eczema Outreach Scotland. We wanted to do it because a lot of people experience eczema. We decided that I would make a hamper and Joseph would hop the width of the pitch and every child in our school would get a chance to guess how many hops Joseph did. We even had a stall at Parent’s night and lots of people had a guess then. We raised £100.40!!!
Marshall from Primary 7 won the hamper- well done, Marshall! Marshall guessed 60, which was the closest to 61.
Mrs McCartney was very proud of us both!

Shoe Box Appeal
If you have a shoe box to hand in, or, have any items that that could be out in a shoe box (we have ones in school), then please send in as soon as possible. Items could be toothpaste, toothbrushes, pencils, felt tips, small toys, etc. Thank you to all who have brought one in- much appreciated.

War Veterans Visit
We were so lucky to have two war veterans visit Primary 5 this week. Geoff and Tom were very interesting to listen to and gave us lots of information about life in war times. They were so brave and shared with us their experiences. We are really looking forward to filming our documentaries next Thursday afternoon.

Literacy
We had a class vote and decided to explore ‘The Amazing Story of Aldophus Tips’ over the next few weeks as it links in really well with our short World War 2 focus. We can’t wait to meet the main characters in the story and find out what happens.

Things to remember:
*Shoe Box Appeal by Friday 4th November please
*Linlithgow Peel trip on Monday 31st October- waterproof clothes if required please
*Filming next Thursday 4th November- please can your child bring in anything that they wish to be in their documentary.

Have a fantastic weekend!
