Dear
Parent/Carer
A
fantastic week at Flora’s!
This
week I tasted apple compote made by Primary 3, joined in with an African dance
led by our P6s, joined in with some incredibly imaginative play with our P7s
who used cardboard boxes to transform themselves, heard the P4s sing songs from
Willy Wonka, laughed and was a wee bit scared of some of the Nursery Fancy
Dress Costumes, saw P5 be brilliant examples of our Golden Goal and met with
the P1 and 2 team to plan the Nativity!
I also had the privilege of attending The Day of the Dead, a
celebration of life concert at the Queens Hall. Mexican guitarist Morgan Szymanski presented a programme which celebrated
the lives and work of Mexican, Latin American and Spanish composers and which
included young people from the City of Edinburgh Music School conducted by Ms
Emslie. A triumph!
Our Primary 3, 5A
and 6 parents have been invited to come in to school next week to see and hear
what we have been learning in school. We are also delighted that Deidre Brock
our MP will be visiting us next Friday.
Some
of our children were involved in the ‘Fairies’ project in the Botanics. The
doors – along with a description board that explains the back-story of each
fairy - will be on display in the John Hope Gateway building within the gardens
from Friday 3 November at 2pm until Sunday 5th November. It will be
the only chance to see all 44 within the Edinburgh garden before they go on
display at the other gardens within the Botanic family next year - Benmore in
Argyll, Dawyck in the Scottish Borders and Logan in Dumfries and Galloway.
Several of our boys were involved in the trials for the Edinburgh Select P7 Football Squad, an achievement in itself. Daniel Harcus and Jamie Bulloch have been selected to play on the squad. Well done, a massive achievement!!
Today
was a historic day at Flora’s. Every single child from Primary 1 to Primary7
was involved in a Flora’s Forum. We’re really looking forward to hearing
their plans and ideas.
Wishing
you a lovely weekend
Ms
McGhee and everyone at Flora’s
