Primary 1 Nativity

Primary 1 classes put on an excellent nativity performance for pupils and parents. Their show included many lovely songs and retold the story of the First Christmas.

The Little Fir Tree Show

On Tuesday the whole school went and saw the show. The little fir tree show lasted 40 minutes.

It was about a little fir tree that was so small all the other fir trees kept on making fun of the little fir tree, but in the end the little fir became a Christmas tree and the nurses decorated the tree.

They sang lots and lots of songs and they were all perfectly dressed and it was very well organised and everyone had a part!

They painted pictures of fir trees in the back ground and they had others underneath them.

I liked all the singing and dancing, it was very good!

Well Done to everyone who participated!

P5a Christmas cross stitching

For Christmas  P5A have been making cross stitch cards.  First they drew the draft on a piece of squared paper.
Then they  started to stitch the design . The designs included a christmas tree, stockings, snowmen, snowflakes , Santa’s hats, presents and Christmas puddings.
Before the end of term they should end up as beautiful cards .We hope they do as  Mrs Mcintosh has been teaching us!

christmas dinner

On December 14th  the school had Christmas dinner.Last year there were such long lines some people  had to wait for a long time for their lunch.  This year there wasn’t so long lines. due to the houses going  in a different times. There were crackers, pigs in blankets, sausages, turkey and trifle. The crackers were great so was the food.

Shoe Boxes

A grand total of 120 shoeboxes have been donated by children and parents to Gordon Primary’s Shoebox appeal. The boxes, filled with small gifts such as hats, gloves, toothbrushes, toothpaste, notebooks and pencils will be given to children in orphanages in East European countries by the New Hope Trust.

The appeal was organised by Mrs Fisher and the Scripture Union. The Scripture Union were involved in checking and counting the shoeboxes, which will be picked up shortly by the New Hope Trust and driven to Romania and other Eastern European countries.

Many thanks to everyone involved!
