Messy Times in P6-7 by Zoe and Talia
We’ve been learning how to play touch rugby. We were in 2 teams – reds and blues. The Blues won. We slipped in the mud – A LOT! There was a lot of sliding when we were trying to get a touchdown. We hope (please Miss Jack?) that we can play it again.
We’ve started our preparations for the school’s entry for the Strathaven Bonfire Guy competition. We are in 3 groups and each group has a different plan for their Guy. One group is making Darth Vader, one group is making Hilary Clinton as a witch with Donald Trump in a cauldron, and the last group is making Miss Muir! We’ve started making papier mache faces for them. We’ve still got to do a lot of work. Watch this space for pictures next week or come to see our Guy at the Bonfire in Strathaven Park on 5th November.
We’ve started this terms new Dojo Points. If we get to keep 85% of our points we will get a fun day as a treat for our hard work and good behaviour. Last term it was SOOO much fun when we met out target and had a pyjama party where we watched a movie with popcorn and juice!
Coffee and Carols Sing-a-long
Thank you to parents, families and friends of the school who joined us for our Coffee and Carols Christmas Sing-a-long. Everyone was in fine voice and looking festively fashionable in Christmas jumpers and hats!
Thank you too for the kind donations which raised £86.92 for Save the Children, Macmillan Cancer Support and Make a Wish Foundation. 
Peter Pan Pantomime
On Monday 21st December we will be welcoming Gilmourton and Glassford pupils and staff to join us for a performance of Peter Pan.
A big thank you to our Parent Council for providing ice cream for the audience during the pantomime.
