On Friday, 9th of May, the young winners of the Easter Door competition from All Saints P1A enjoyed their well-deserved prize. The children were treated to a delightful visit to the local Waterfront Cinema, where they watched a screening of "Snow White" while indulging in an assortment of snacks and drinks. The excitement and joy were evident as the children thoroughly enjoyed every moment of their special day.
The bus journey to the Waterfront was filled with palpable excitement, with the children eagerly anticipating the mornings activities. During the movie, the atmosphere was electric with clapping, singing along, and even a bit of dancing, adding to the fun and festive mood. To make the experience even more memorable, each child received a goodie bag containing a CHA jogger water bottle, sweets, and small toys, which were a big hit.
The children and their teachers, Miss Nicholas and Miss Sinclair, expressed their heartfelt gratitude, and it was truly heartwarming to see them having such a wonderful time. Their smiles and laughter made the Friday morning unforgettable for everyone involved. Congratulations once again to All Saints P1A for their fantastic achievement!
Cloch Housing Association recently invited all infant classes across Inverclyde to participate in an exciting Easter Classroom Door Design competition, aimed at encouraging local children to express their creativity. The response was overwhelming, with 14 classes showcasing their imaginative interpretations of Easter. The designs were nothing short of spectacular, transforming whole corridors into vibrant displays of colours and decorations, filled with the buzz of excited children.
The only requirement was that the door design must have an Easter theme and could extend slightly beyond the door frame if needed. Beyond that, the children were free to let their imaginations run wild—and they certainly did not disappoint!
Choosing a winner was incredibly challenging due to the volume of wonderful ideas.
With the winning class receiving transport to and from the Waterfront Cinema, along with a film screening, snacks, and drinks, the stakes were high. After much deliberation, P1A from All Saints Primary was declared the winner. Their class teacher, Jennifer Sinclair, shared the moment when she announced the victory to her 19 creative tiny tots, whose cheers echoed throughout the school.
Miss Sinclair commented, "The children had so much fun and really enjoyed the creative aspect of this competition. PSA teacher, Miss Nicolas, was inspirational in guiding them through the project, although the ideas and input came from the children themselves. They absolutely loved painting the eggs and chicks and sticking the feathers on—all the messy stuff! The handwritten words were by Vanessa from the class—a very impressive P1 student! When the children were told they had won the competition, the whole school could hear the cheers! Since then, every pupil has popped along to see their winning Easter Door Design. The class is so excited and looking forward to the Cinema Trip prize!"
Cloch Housing Association was thrilled with all the wonderful pieces of imaginative work created by the local children. To celebrate their efforts, the association donned bunny ears and delivered Easter Eggs to every single participant. It was a joyous occasion, and we hope the children enjoyed their well-deserved treats!
