In the foundation stage (P1 and P2) a lot of tasks and activities are topic based which makes learning so much fun. The children and teachers get so many great ideas from stories related to their topics.
P1 read the well known story 'Hansel and Gretel' and then they were set a fun homework to make a Sweetie House. The children were so proud to bring them to school this week and tell everyone about them in Show and Tell.
P2 have really been enjoying their Knights and Castles topic and are currently making castles at home to bring in and show off next week. They read 2 fun stories 'The Pizza Princess' and 'The Royal Dinner' which led to a pizza party in class yesterday and the royal chocolate cake for breaktime today.
P7 Thrive
Our P7's are getting ready to think about moving on to their next school in September. For those that sat the Transfer tests the results are out on Saturday morning so we wish them all the best for opening the envelope and want to remind them whatever the score we will find the right school for them. All the P7's then have the next couple of weeks to decide which schools they would like to go to next year. To help prepare them for the transition and to cope with any worries they might have Keely, a parent and therapist is running a 10 week Thrive programme with them and she set them fun challenges with mallows and spaghetti this week!
PTA Disco
The PTA are holding another event this half term - a DISCO on Thursday 9th February 6:30pm - 8:00pm before we have our half term break.
