Last week the children took part in the first session of their Tobacco Awareness Workshop.  The children learned about the dangers to their body and health and also the cost involved if choosing to smoke. The children have all been encouraged to get their families to make a ‘smoke-free home and car pledge’ to protect them from second-hand smoke.

Today the children in the rainbow room got a huge surprise! Overnight we had a visit from a friendly dragon.  He is very sad because his home, Fairyland, isn’t like it used to be! He is asking us for help and we wrote him a letter today to say YES! We sent it by D-Mail and we’re hoping he writes back soon! Keep an eye on the blog and twitter and we will post updates.

We really enjoyed performing our assembly today.  The children worked really hard to learn their lines and songs and gave a great performance in front of the school and parents.  Here is some of the feedback from the children.

One of our P6 pupils has been busy over the Easter holiday! Isn’t this just a fantastic representation of Coraline, with lots of detail? What a great way to extend literacy learning. Visualisation in action.
