I would like to wish you all a safe and happy holiday. The children and staff have once more worked really hard and it is great to see the progress in learning which the children have had.

The staff returns to school on the 25th October for an Inservice day and we will welcome the children back on Tuesday 26th October. There will be a Halloween disco on Thursday 28th October 6.00 - 7.30 in the school hall. Children will be able to were their Halloween costumes to school on the 29th October if they bring £1. Mrs Walker and Ms Scollay's class will visit the Telford Centre on 29th October wearing our Halloween costumes.

Auditions will begin for the Pantomime during the first week back, Jack and the Beanstalk will be performed on the 9th December.

So lots of exciting events will be happening next term.

This week, P567 had a great time working on Africa. Our North Highland Cross Country representatives (Laura, Andrew, Ben J, Kieran, Mungo and James) ran really well. We're very proud of their efforts! On Thursday, they logged on to a web chat with the author or the Young Bond series of books, Charlie Higson. He's now writing scary stories for children, but we weren't scared! It was totally cool.

P 345 have been continuing to learn about maps, we took a very short walk along station road on Thursday. We noted all the mistakes which were on the Google earth map. The children have also been working on co-ordinates in their maths lessons. We will finish off work on this next term. We also spent lots of time redrafting our best pieces of writing work from this term. After the chats at parents night the children produced some fantastic work, showing us exactly how super they can do their work. No excuses now!

P 123 have been learning about lady pirates this week, and they wrote about them during their writing lesson where they had to use headings in their writing. The P 123 also led our assembly today, they put on a short play about Noah's ark, and taught the rest of the school a song about Noah.

The nursery have been pretending to catch and eat fish from their boat. That boat really travels in the nursery. They were also building planks to walk from the boat, and one wee boy made a barbeque where they cooked their fish. The children enjoyed salmon, mackeral for snack this week, and they all enjoyed that. The new guttering is also causing lots of fun and learning.

So... it's no wonder we all need a well earned break.

I look forward the fun and games of next term.

Kindest regards
