We are delighted to announce that we have again been awarded the Connecting Classrooms grant by the British Council. As in previous years, this grant will fund reciprocal teacher visits this session. We look forward to welcoming two more teachers from The Universal School, Mumbai in the spring.
P4 Poetry
Primary 4 have been learning to write poems over the last few weeks. We have written poems about Fireworks, World War 1 and Water. We tried to include lots of interesting “wow” words, adjectives and onomatopoeic words, and use tools such as rhyme and alliteration. Come and read our poems – they are displayed on the wall outside our classrooms.
Fairtrade Recipe Book
Thanks to all who bought our Fairtrade recipe book and supported Fairtrade and Action Aid. Thank you also to all who contributed to the production of the book. We have sold lots of copies and raised £152 for Action Aid’s Child Sponsorship programme. Don’t worry if you forgot to order a copy – we will continue to take orders for the book after the holidays. Just bring in an envelope containing payment (£3 per copy) and a note with how many copies are required. Our partner school, The Universal School in Mumbai, will also be selling the book in their school.
Happy Birthday UNCRC from P4!
P4 have been thinking about the UNCRC as it celebrates 25 years. We have been discussing the “Brightest Right in our Life” and we have worked with our friends to make posters to show these rights.
Whoops-a-Daisy Angel
Our nursery boys and girls performed beautifully in our Nativity, Whoops-a-Daisy Angel. We all remembered our positions on stage and made sure all of the mummies and daddies could hear our super singing voices. We all looked so angelic. All of the nursery staff were extremely proud!
Primary 1’s Noisy Nativity!
On Tuesday 16th December Primary 1 invited their families and friends to watch them perform their Noisy Nativity. Everyone was a star! The narrators remembered their words and had clear loud voices. Our musical instrument players showed great rhythm. Our actors showed confidence acting and dancing on stage. There was lovely singing from everyone and well done to ‘Mary’ who sang ‘Away in a manger’ beautifully! We hope you enjoyed watching our show as much as we enjoyed performing it!
Christmas in P4
We would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

P3 Katie Morag Showcase
Last week, family and friends of Primary 3 children were invited into school. This gave the children the opportunity to share what they had been learning in the Katie Morag topic. There was Scottish country dancing, Gaelic and Scottish singing, storytelling, puppet shows and artwork. The children showcased all that they had done and parents had to join in too! It was a very successful morning and we have received lots of positive feedback.
Primary 3 Panto Trip
Primary 3 had a wonderful morning at Howden Park Centre watching Cinderella in panto. The children thoroughly enjoyed their Christmas treat and the chance to exercise their lungs! There were lots of laughs and a few surprises (who knew that the ugly sisters were trolls?)
