Our blog

Well it’s hard to believe that next week will be the last week before the holidays.
Due to a few technical difficulties I was unable to send the blog last week and hope that we will be up and running again soon.

The School Newsletter and the Quality and Standards Report should be winging thier way to you in the post as we speak. I hope you find both really useful. Should you wish to discuss any aspect of these two documents please get in touch.

Pr 3/4/5 have really got into the spirit of Hogwarts and are now in new house teams, taking their names from the Harry Potter book. They have also been making potions in their science class and learning to write in disappearing ink! (That will make marking easy!) The children have also really been enjoying their new active maths sessions on a Friday where maths is taught through active games.

Pr 1/2/3 have been continuing to work on their woodland topic and spent some time working through a website which demonstrated just how much they knew about the forest. We have real experts in this class.

Pr 5/6/7 headed up to Abraichan on Monday. They had a great time looking for the Kelpie’s Pearls. They found the Kelpie pool and followed clues around the forest looking for the Kelpie. The one of the children declared it was, “the best day of his life!” what more can I say really!

Mrs Pargetar had the nursery parents hard at work in the garden this week, they did a tremendous job filling the vegetable patch with new top soil, cutting down long grass and getting the garden in ship shape condition. A HUGE thank you to you!

The nursery children joined us for the assembly this week, which was great, they sang a lovely wee song and their mums and dads joined us to which was great.

The Harvest Thanksgiving service is in the church on Friday at 1.30pm. All are warmly invited to join us.

We shall walk round to the church on Thursday morning to have a practise of the songs.

Pr 5/6/7 will be going to walk around to the chapel as part of their RME topic on Thursday to meet with Father Stuart.

On Friday parents are have been welcomed to Pr 1/2/3 class to join them for a Fairy Party. It sounds just great fun, so come and join us. I think that there will be fairy cakes on sale!
