Here are P2H enjoying their weekly music lesson with Mrs Hawthorn. The children joined in with lots of games to develop skills in co-ordination, co-operation , rhythm and timing, including ‘Fuzzy Wuzzy’ and walking ’Mr Wiggle’ and ‘Mr Waggle’ up the hill and down the hill. In the naming and playing challenge, the class demonstrated a very good knowledge of the musical instruments. ’Hot Cross Buns’ was another popular activity.

Spring Road Safety Awareness was the focus of the JRSO board. ‘Low sun can dazzle drivers, is one of the statements that Caitlin and Greg have placed on their updated information board, to inform children of the hazards that they should be aware of when walking near roads at this time of the year. This week, at the school assembly, the names of the Road Safety competition winners will be announced. The JRSO’s will be running another competition in the summer. Details to follow on the website.
Please help us to support ChildLine! During Health Week, pupils took part in a Sponsored Line Dancing Event. Ishrat, from ChildLine, led the classes in this new activity by teaching us two line Dancing routines. She praised the pupils for their enthusism and commented on how quick children were to learn these dances. 
The last week in March was full of action, with every class being involved in a wide range of activities:
Monday 28th March was the start of Sanderson’s Wynd Health week. On a beautiful spring morning, the whole school launched the event with an outdoor mass aerobic session led by parent, Fiona Russell. Fiona gave us a big wake up call on this sunny Monday morning by putting us through our paces in a ‘bootcamp’ style work out. Staff, pupils and some parents joined in the action. There was a lot of laughter and fun and we all left the playground red-faced and feeling ready for the week ahead.

On Tuesday, the whole school enjoyed the wonderful pantomime, Aladdin. There was lots of singing, jokes and funny happenings! The children and teachers all joined in with all the fun and laughter. The pantomime was kindly subsidised by the Parent Council, who also treated everybody to an ice-cream! Thank you from all at Sanderson’s Wynd! 
P1 and P2 classes performed their nativity to the rest of the school today. Christmas now feels as if it has properly started! Well done boys and girls! You did really well. Your parents will be so proud of you and they will love the Wriggly Nativity too. (See post below for performance times.)
Hello, everyone! I hope you’re having a great extra holiday and keeping warm.
P1 and 2 .. If you’re looking for something to do .. Please keep practising our songs and words for the Nativity. We won’t have so much time to get it ready, now. Also, the recording company are coming on Wednesday to make our CD!
Hope to see you all soon.
Mrs Hawthorn
