Christmas Craft Fair

A big Thank You to the PTA for organising our Christmas Craft Fair last night. A special Thank You to Victoria Colby and Mr Green for putting together the event and booking the crafters, Mr Doole for designing the Grotto and to Santa for making a special appearance! The hall was packed as families enjoyed looking at all the Christmas gifts and listening to our choir singing some Christmas Carols and Santa was very popular, even having to send his elves out for more presents! Many also enjoyed a coffee or hot chocolate from Fillies.

As always PTA are trying to raise funds for the school as well as organising fun family events, when the total is counted we will let you know how much was raised.

        

P6 Swimming

P6 have enjoyed their weekly swimming lessons at the Andersonstown Leisure Centre. This week was their last lesson and they were all rewarded for their efforts with certificates. Next term it is the turn of P7.

   

P5 Christmas Baking

P5 were very lucky this week as they got to learn how to bake a Christmas Cake with Marilyn, Mr Lewis' mother-in-law. She'll be back to ice it then some of you might get a little taste before the nativity concerts.

 

P3 Dentist Visit

P3 had a visit from Jade, a dental nurse, this week. They learnt about how often and how long they should clean their teeth and good and bad foods for dental hygiene, all tying in with their Faces and Feelings topic.

 

Clubs

This week was the end of Transfer and Drama clubs and Miss Robertson's drama club received certificates for their participation. Choir, football and galaxy clubs are still on next week
