Happy Christmas to our whole school community! 🎅🏻

We hope you have a wonderful time making memories over the festivities 🎄

Take time to rest and relax after a very busy term and we’ll see you in 2023.

Primaries 6 and 7 had a great time at their party on Tuesday. Fantastic dancing and great fun had by all! 💃🏻🕺🎄

Thanks to Ryan and his family for their donation of craft supplies for his class.

I’m sure they will be put to good use 🖼️

Another busy Building the Community on Friday.
We kicked off with a mindful snowball fight - ‘hitting’ each other with snowball stickers and sharing the kind things that we had noticed.
As always, we presented certificates and Owl bands.
We shared achievements that were wide and varied!
We celebrated birthdays 🥳
And we worked cooperatively across the school to take part in a Stoddie Christmas Quiz……..to be continued!🎄

This young man visited us today and wowed us with his clarinet playing! He’s been having lessons for a few weeks now and we were amazed by his progress!

Mosstodloch Primary - P7 Residential May 2023

Information for the P7 residential trip to Abernethy will be shared via this Facebook group and email.

This group is private and you will be required to answer 2 questions in order to join.

The Christmas parties got off to a great start today!

P4 & 5 had an amazing time and they looked fabulous 😍

Huge thanks to our Parent Council for providing the party snacks - it was very much appreciated! 🎄🎅🏻

P1 and P7 worked together to create Christmas tree tessellation art this afternoon.

They were all very proud of the final product!🎄

It’s party time 🥳

We kick off our Christmas parties with P4 + P5 tomorrow afternoon - Friday 16th December.

Children can change into their party clothes at lunchtime so they are ready for all the festive fun in the afternoon!

I’m sure they’ll have a fantastic time 🤩🎄🎅🏻

Fun in the snow ⛄️

The kitchen team - huge thanks to you all for providing the children with a delicious Christmas lunch and being so cheery and fun while you served us all! ❤️🤩🎄

Then we rounded off an already busy day with the token treat for the winning house.

Balnacoul pupils enjoyed a snowy play followed by a tasty snack and a Christmassy movie.

A pretty perfect day all in all!! 🤩

A few more from the Christmas Lunch 🎄

Our children enjoyed a delicious Christmas lunch today thanks to Sylvia and her team in the kitchen! We are so grateful for all their hard work 🤩😋😍

The children also enjoyed a Festive Lucky Dip, some Christmas bingo and a singalong before returning to class this afternoon with full bellies and glad hearts ❤️

The snow even made an appearance making it look like a beautiful Christmas movie 🎥

Our pupils were challenged to create a hat to wear to their Christmas lunch! And boy did they rise to the occasion!

We were blown away by the creativity and imagination displayed by our learners 🤯 Miss Mackay and Mrs Jamieson were relieved that they didn’t have to make the tough decisions and choose the winners - phew 😮‍💨 Two members of the Parent Council took on that tricky job!

Mikey and Christopher helped our parents out by being unbiased models - thanks boys!

We announced the winners earlier in today and awarded prizes to all 8 children! Fantastic effort 🤩

A few more of the costume photos we managed to snap 📸🎄

After a busy old week we started this week’s Building the Community with a little festive yoga 🧘‍♀️🎄

As always, we dished out many certificates and awards, we celebrated birthdays and we shared an astonishing variety of achievements.

Friday also saw the first Christmas post being delivered by P5 ✉️

Sadly, we said cheerio to Miss Halsall as she leaves to take up a permanent post elsewhere. We thanked her for all that she has done for the school and our pupils. We wish her all the very best moving forward. 🥹

What a week!! 🤩

We are so proud of all our pupils following their Christmas performances last week ❤️

They continue to amaze us with their willingness to accept a challenge, their courage and their joyous approach to music!

Thanks also go to our staff for all their creativity and determination behind the scenes - the preparation and hard work you put in was obvious during the performances 🌟

And a huge thanks to our school community for being such enthusiastic and appreciative audiences! You made lots of little ones very happy 🥰

I’ll add the costume photos I have at the moment and post any others from staff members in another post.

🎅🏻🎄⛄️

The Christmas post box has arrived! 🎅🏻

Children will be able to post their cards and classes will take turns to be posties.

We have our teddy and puppy winners!

Aiden in P1 had the winning guess as teddy’s birthday was on the 16th of June! 🎂

Gracie in P3 guessed that the puppies favourite holiday destination is North Goa, India! 🏖️

Congratulations to you both! 🤩

What an amazing day it has been!

We cannot get over the huge crowd that came to join us tonight!

We were lucky to welcome a fantastic variety of local businesses into school.

The children’s products were very well received and a total sell out - I think 🤔

Huge thanks to our Parent Council for organising refreshments ☕️

We even had a visit from Santa! 🎅🏻

The biggest thanks of all goes to our school community for supporting our learners and staff. It was genuinely wonderful to welcome you into school again 🥰

Well done all 🤩

All the other classes had an opportunity to see the owls who were on their very best behaviour! Peggy, Lauren and Lana were just incredible and our pupils asked Claire some interesting and thought provoking questions.
What a wonderful interaction 🦉

The P3 owl experience was awesome 🤩 Huge thanks to Speyside Falconry! I’m sure Mrs Ferguson will share her photos on the Google Classroom. 🦉

Days just don’t get much better than this! 🦉

P3 are enjoying a learning visit with Speyside Falconry this morning!

The children are absolutely amazed by the beauty of these birds and they are learning so much from Claire.

The other classes will be able to visit with the owls for a short time later this morning.

Just spectacular ❤️

1 more sleep!!!!! 🤩🤩

We have been utterly amazed at the generosity of our school community!!

We can't wait to welcome you all into the school for the first Christmas Fayre in years!

The children have worked so hard to create their class businesses and a lot of learning has taken place to understand profit, loss, costings etc. They have assumed roles, problem solved and cooperated to work towards their shared goal. These are skills that children will undoubtedly use in the future in some capacity so already they are developing their workforce skills.

We are still welcoming donations, especially;

🎅Christmas Jumpers (that you've outgrown)
🍫 chocolate
🎁raffle prizes

A post will be shared later today with information about the Fayre and the stall holders who will be joining us etc.

Please may we ask that you take your own bag as we will be unable to provide them.

May we also ask that you take change to use at the Fayre as we will have limited floats at each stall.

P7 were all ‘star bakers’ today as they began making and icing their ‘melted snowmen’ for Thursday’s Christmas Fayre. They look delicious! 😋

Some of our children are enjoying coming to our World Cup Club over break and lunch. They’ve enjoyed lots of discussions about this tournament as well as managing to catch a few minutes of play.
It’s really interesting to hear their viewpoints. ⚽️
