Our blog

We have all been recovering from the Pantomime this week.

Pr 345 have been learning about a Victorian Christmas and Jane from the Lochaber museum came in and helped the children learn more, they made real crackers which really bang! They also had a look at Victorian artefact's. The children loved it. All the children and Ms Scollay wrote their letters to Santa, they were posted the other day and we live in hope for a reply. We explained why we should get a parcel and asked Santa lots of questions. P 345 also had a class sale to raise money for their train trip to Glasgow to go to Scotland Street school in the new year. They raised over £100 well done to everyone who made it a great success.

P 123 have been working so hard on the Christmas Nativity play this week, the singing and acting is really coming along. The children have also been taking part in Christmas art activities. P2 have been running the school post office and they have been very busy selling stamps for 2p and the getting the cards delivered. Well done to the super post people!

P 567 have been learning more about their African topic and I noticed that they were also doing some times tables work. Some of the children have been helping the P2 children to deliver all the Christmas mail. The P567 class have also been making paper chains! My word they are the longest chains I have ever seen! Very festive!

It was a shame school is cancelled for the day today, as it is so Christmassy and everywhere is covered in glitter! The poor cleaners nearly had a fit in my room the other day! I hear that a few children also managed to have glue and glitter in their hair! (So did thier teacher!!!! I know my mum would say things never change with me!!)

On Monday at 1.30 we have the dress rehearsal in the church for the Nativity, the School Christmas service is on Tuesday at 6pm we hope all children will attend, the older children will be doing some readings, and the winners of the Health and Safety competition will be announced. We will have mince pies, tea and coffee in the church hall afterwards. I need some helpers to serve the tea, if you can please contact the school.

On Tuesday we will be having our Christmas party the P 123's will leave at 2.45, I am sure that we will have lots of fun.

School closes on Thursday 23rd December for the school holidays.

Of course this is all weather permitting!!!! (apart from the 23rd!) Keep logging on to keep abreast of what's going on!

Keep warm

Kindest regards
