A huge thank you to everyone who sent in the Big Cat Collins Vouchers from Sun newspaper last term. We received a box full of lovely new books this week to add to the Big Cat books we already have in school.

Congratulations to the winners of our annual Scots Verse Recital Competition form last week! We all enjoyed hearing everyone recite their poems in assembly on Friday. We also enjoyed some fantastic entertainment from some of our talented dancers, singers, and instrumentalists!

P3A have enjoyed writing these super animal poems in Scots this week. We hope you enjoy reading them!

P2 did a fantastic job of our Nativity this year with their performance of ‘Baubles’. During the show they told us all about the Christmas story through the very hard work of Mr Donaldson, our school janitor, making baubles for and hanging them on the Christmas tree. We hope everyone who came along enjoyed the show!

A big thank you to all of the ladies in our school kitchen for a magnificent feast at lunch time today. The ladies excelled themselves serving up another delicious Christmas lunch for around 400 people.

On Monday the 10^th of December Currie Primary entered their first ever skiing competition at Hillend. We got to practice going in between cones before we started to warm up.  Then we had to go up to the red line. We had racing numbers on. There were 192 skiers taking part. There were two different groups, novice and experts. Our team were in the novice section as we have only been skiing for a few months.  There were about 8 markers on the course that we had to ski between. We raced against the clock. We got 2 runs each. Most of us went faster on our second run. We all really enjoyed it and are looking forward to taking part gain next year.

Congratulations to Dylan and Saul, who have both achieved their Diamond Blue Peter Badges. Dylan has written a short explanation of how to achieve a Blue Peter badge. See below.

For all of them except the Diamond badge, you wrote about what you have done using 50 words.

Blue. To get a Blue badge you can write a poem, draw a picture or write a story. I wrote a poem.

Green. To get a Green badge you have to do something to do with nature. I did litter picking.

Silver. To get a Silver badge you have to have the Blue Badge. It is the same list of things to choose from but you have to pick a different thing to do.

Diamond. To get a Diamond badge you have to fill in a form with 3 pages.
