text: Thanks to all the parents and families who came to be a part of our Christmas service. The pupils had been working hard to learn lots of songs, and preparing special performances with boom-whackers (P4/5) and ukuleles (P5-7). Our school brass band has reformed and made a debut performance in our assembly – we are looking forward to more performances in the future! We hope you enjoyed our assembly and that you have a relaxing Christmas holiday so that you can come back to school raring to go in 2015!

  As you may have noticed, our school website is currently undergoing a make-over! We are up-dating all sections of the website as another means of sharing our learning, news and events. Each class will have it’s own blog soon so check back with us in the new year to find out all about the latest goings at our school 🙂
  Well done to our Pupil Council for organising 2 excellent charity events this term. We would like to thank pupils and families or supporting these events. We raised an amazing £206 for our Children in Need Appeal (including £62 for the Sponge the Teacher event).
  Thanks to your kind generosity we were also able to prepare 43 shoeboxes for the Blythswood Shoe Box Appeal. Many thanks again for your amazing support for both these events.
  It’s been quite a busy week at West Barns and as many of you will know, our P1-3 pupils took to the stage to perform the nativity story. They had been working really hard to learn their lines over the last few weeks and all the hard-work certainly paid off, as I’m sure many of you will agree.
  More photos to come but here’s one just for now.
  Thought I would share this lovely photo with you all. I took this as I arrived at school one morning and was taken back by the beautiful sky. Can anyone come up with any amazing vocabulary to describe this scene?
