Many of our children went to the "Piazza Shopping Centre" in Paisley to help raise funds for charity by carol singing for shoppers.  They went with Mrs Cleary and were commended on their singing by staff who were impressed by how much they raised in their 30 minute slot.  Well done to all who attended!

The pupils of Primary 3 class made Christmas cards and decorations and sent them to their friends in Wales. They go to Ysgol Heulfan and we looked at where they go to school using Google Earth. On Friday we were really excited when a box arrived in the post for our class.  The pupils in Wales made us all a Christmas card each and a Rudolph decoration each so we took them home to hang them on our Christmas trees.  Thank you and Nadolig Llawen!

Our House Captains and Vice Captains have been leading the school in collecting all our small loose change during the season of Advent.  Our aim was to make the school badge from the loose change.  The House Captains were delighted by the overwhelming response and they received a whole basketful of loose change which is now being counted, before being sent to SCIAF.  Thanks to all for your support.

Thursday saw the last performance of our Christmas Show, "The Real Meaning of Christmas".  The show was written and produced by Mrs Gavin during music and drama time.  For the second year running the pupils enjoyed taking part in a whole school production for their parents and members of the community.  The second performance was followed by our Community Fairtrade Cafe which was extremely busy.  Christmas hampers were given to members of the community and everyone enjoyed catching up as well as chatting about the school show.  After posting photos of our Primary 1 pupils a few days ago, we now have some more photos of many of the cast members who took part. Particular thanks go to the Pupil Council members who met and greeted all our visitors over the 3 days, issued programmes, sold raffle tickets and performed the lucky programme draw at the end.  Well done also to Jack Chambers who ran the music for the show single-handed and to all our back stage helpers.  We hope you enjoy our slideshow.

They have now performed two shows with their third and final show tomorrow so they are now fully-fledged actors! Here they are straight after their second performance today. Well done to you all - you were fabulous!
