Thank you to the parents who put so much effort into this year’s Elf Shelf. The pupils were absolutely delighted with all of the presents they were able to buy for their family and friends.

P4, P4/5, P5 Party
Today we had our party. All of the P4 children and the P5 children were together which was good because we all worked hard for our concert together too.
It all started after lunch time once we had our party clothes on. We had cool music on like a real disco and sometimes it was really noisy which was fun.
We were all jumping up and down and dancing together before we had our party food. The parent helpers were fantastic and had it all ready for us going in which was amazing.
After that, we played games like pass the parcel and pass the dictionary!
Thomas was the music man

Mrs Beaton had on a Christmas tree hat which kept falling off and making us laugh. Ms Jamieson has tinsel on and even a flashing badge. Mrs. Gardner has Christmassy earings and a big smile. Mrs Tewnion and Ms Davidson were really good at dancing.
It was the best party ever.
If you want to see us dancing have a look at this:

Our P1, P1/2, P2 Party
We had our Christmas party and it was the best fun ever. We got to wear our nice clothes and the teachers had nice clothes on too. We were dancing to the music and we had a lot of really nice food to eat. When Santa came in we all sang Jingle Bells. It was really exciting. He asked us if we had all been good and when we said yes he gave us a present out of his sack. We got to take the present home with us too.

Here is a video of us all singing Jingle Bells – Jingle Bells!
Santa visits P3
On Wednesday the 10th of December we had a special visitor in to the P3 party.
He had a special red suit on and a very jolly face. He said, “ho, ho, ho”! and asked us if we had been good.. That is when we knew it was definitely Santa.
We had a lovely party before Santa arrived and we danced and played lots of games which was really fun. Our teachers were wearing sparkly clothes and they were dancing to the Christmas music.
Here are some of the photos we took on the day.
He’s Behind you!!
Today Ellon Primary school had a visit from M and M Productions who showed the story of Beauty and the Beast.
Bell, Gaston, Gorgeous, Mrs. Potty, Casper and the Candle Man were the main characters.
It was all done by one four people though which was very clever. The whole school went to see it over two performances.
I thought the Nursery children might have been scared but they were laughing and thinking it was funny too.
Anya Bramwell said that she liked the performance and that her favourite bit was at the end when the person got made back into a human again.
Ross Macarthur said that he thought Gaston was funny and made him laugh, especially when he said ‘Let’s go’ and then started to sing Let it Go from Frozen.
Ellis Kilgour thought it was hilarious when the characters got their swords out!
Isla McCallum said the panto was amazing. She really liked it when the man started singing, “Let it Go!”. She was singing along to all the music.
As an extra surprise we all went back to our classrooms and found an orange and a chocolate bar for us. That was yummy!

Kids’ Council
One of the roles of the Kid’s Council is to represent their classes and help with events. Here are Austin, Erin and Cameron welcoming parents to the school today, handing out programmes for the P4s -5s Christmas concert and selling calendars for the Parent Council. Well done to the three of them.
P4, P4/5, P5 Christmas Concert 2014
Today we welcomed mums, dads, babies, grannies, granda’s, aunties, uncles and family friends into the school to see the P4, P4/5 and P5 Christmas Concert.
This was the culmination of a lot of hard work from the pupils, their teachers, our janitor, the PSAs and parents at home.
The performance was described as a heart-warmer, a wonderful event and as a tear-jerker.
Here are the P5s singing a song to wish everyone a Happy Christmas from Africa.
Primary 5s also wished everyone a Happy Christmas from Japan.
Our three kings delivered presents.
The P4/5s came from India to wish everyone well.
The dancing from the P4s was super.
Yeeha!! Get your cowboy boots on!

Christmas Lunch and Ellon Primary School
On Friday the 5th of December we had our Christmas lunch. There were about 178 people and 13 teachers. The dinner ladies wore Christmas aprons and Mrs. Whalley had a funny hairband on. There were a lot of Christmas crackers and everyone got to pull one.
The menu was roast turkey, chippolata sausages, mealie, roast tatties, mash tatties, sweetcorn, baby carrots and sprouts. The pudding was Christmas pudding or jelly with ice-cream. Everyone liked the Christmas music and had a really nice time. Erin’s mum helped to make sure we all had crackers.

The Stage is Set!
Thank you so much to Martin and his wife, Maureen who have worked incredibly hard to get the curtains for the upcoming shows just right.
Maureen stitched a large hem into the top of the curtains so that they could be looped over two broom handles. Martin then drilled holes into the broom handles so that they could be securely attached to our wall bars.
They have been put up this morning ready for the school shows. Very exciting!
Children in Need
Well done to all the pupils in P3J who organised a number of activities to raise money for Children in Need. Through holding a dress as you please day, bake sale, guessing games and by putting pennies on Pudsey we managed to raise £610! Pudsey has written a letter to P3J to highlight that every penny they have helped to raise will go towards projects that are making positive changes to the lives of disadvantaged children and to thank them for all of their hard work. Well done to Owen Black in P4 for correctly guessing the number of sweeties in the jar and Romi Campbell (P7) who won the teddy bear.

Santa Fun Run 2014
The Santa Fun Run was held on the 29th of November. An amazing 248 people signed up to put on their Santa costume and run two kilometres around Gordon Park.
The event saw young and old, babies and even dogs waiting with anticipation and excitement at the starting line. When the horn blew at 10.30am the fun began. Each Santa had the finish line firmly in their view as they went, “ho, ho, ho” around the park.
However, not only will they receive an applause and a medal to keep for life, they were then greeted by the extravagant Christmas fayre. This included a number of stalls, spectacular food, bouncy castles and even a glorious Santa’s Grotto once we managed to tempt Santa away from the chocolate fountain!
We would like to say a massive thank you to Erin’s mum, Tracy Kelly and Mrs. Stewart who put so much time and effort into organising the event. We really appreciate it. Have a look at some of the pictures below.
