A number of children have been working on progressing their phonics and reading skills through Headsprout, an online reading programme. Gerry, the headsprout leader has commented on the fantastic progress made by all of the children. The children were congratulated in assembly and presented with a certificate and a prize. Well done everyone!
In our school the children have many opportunities to play a range of musical instruments. Darren came to school to distribute certificates to children who have achieved awards in playing the chanter. Well done to all of the children for their hard work and dedication.
Our choir treated us to a few songs in our last assembly before end of term. They have been singing their little hearts out and spreading the Christmas cheer. They have been out and about as well, visiting Melmount Manor, Mums & Tots and the Tuesday Club. Well done, we are extremely proud. 😇😊
Well done to all our wonderful designers, Liz had an extremely difficult job judging.
Today we wore odd socks to school to raise awareness for Anti bullying week. In assembly we watched a short video about having respect for other people. Our odd socks were worn to represent that we are all unique, we definitely saw some really unique odd socks today.
Today in p2/3 we have been learning about why we wear poppies at this time of year. We also learned about what the colours of the poppy mean then we created our own poppy collages.
P2/3 enjoyed a visit from Environmentalist Lynn Greer who talked to us about different forest animals and how they hibernate for the winter. Did you know that bats wrap themselves up in their wings to keep warm and hibernate in trees? Hedgehogs snuggle up in a ball in the autumn leaves to hibernate. Their hearts only beat twice a minute when in hibernation and they wake up in Spring. We enjoyed making our own leaf crowns. Have a look!
Today P2/3 had the first of our Mandarin Chinese lessons by Sun. We learned all about the Mid-Autumn festival which is being celebrated now around the time of the full moon. The Chinese people celebrate this festival by eating ‘Moon cake’. We got to decorate our own. Have a look!
