Hello, ladies and gentleman boys and girls, this is Erin from P6 and Jodi from P7, here to give you some more information about this final few days of our rehearsals for Lights Camel Action. We have been working our socks off, as on Friday 9th of December was 4 days away from our first performance in front of the nursery, Primary 2, Primary 3 and Primary 4. Today we performed in front of those classes. Some of  us said it was terrifying. It was a success and we all did really well. The back stage and the actors/actresses people were in the best outfits you could possibly imagine. We updated our programme so when you come on Wednesday or Thursday ,this week, you can do a word search and see who’s acting. Here are some pictures to show you how we have been working our socks off!

P2 finished their book topic and artist study by visiting the local Art Centre. The exhibition was ‘Picture Hooks’ and included illustrations from books. The children had great fun looking around the exhibition and were able to complete the quiz sheet. After we had snack and then created our own book covers using pens, crayons and oil pastels. We had a super day.

 

Last night we held our Carol Service at St Andrew’s Church.  All classes were involved and the children sang beautifully.  Mrs  Anne Murdy has helped us out over the weeks in preparation for this and we are very grateful for her help, Mr Christopher Watt accompanied us on the night which was fantastic.

It was lovely to see the Church so full and have so many sharing in the true Spirit of Christmas.

We had a go at making some strange Christmas creations in P4 today. The challenge was to make spinning Christmas trees. They were to be stable and powered by a battery motor.

P2 invited parents in to learn different ways to read, write and count at home. We had great fun playing games and reading our new books from the Book Bag we were gifted. Parents had lots of fun too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P2 had 4 sessions of Ceilidh kids run by Active Schools. We learned lots of new Scottish Country dances and jigs. We had lots of fun

Have a look at some photos of our St Andrew’s Day Celebrations:

A group of our Primary 6 girls have been lucky enough to take part in a lunch time Cheerleading Club.  This has been lead by St Joseph’s College pupil Nicole Kerr with her assistant Stephanie Rome  (Both girls are former pupils of St Andrew’s).  The girls have loved the experience and learned so much in a short space of time.   They even managed to put on a final performance for the younger children.

The girls have now planned  for another block of Cheerleading lessons after the Christmas holidays.

 

 

 

When I was at Bathgate I had to play girl singles. In the first round there was three groups of four. Holly was the top in the first group and they expected Holly to come first and she had come first. In the second group Amelia was expected to come second but she didn’t and I was in the last group expected me to come third but I didn’t. My group was quite easy but there was one hard game which took  five sets. The coach was putting pressure on the other girl to win the last set because it was 2 sets each but I won the last one.

After that there was the next group that had six people in it but the top two went trough so I went through and so did the second place person for each group.  So it came to the final games. I was one against Holly first. I knew I was going to lose but I didn’t mind. There were two people that I won against. Willow went through who I bet in the first group so I didn’t need to play her again, but I had to play against one last person. I lost against  her but we all won all the same number of games and lost the same so we had to do a count back. They did it from Willow because she won agents the person  that I lost to( Amelia ) straight three sets. I don’t really know how it works. Anyway I went through to represent Scotland in Wales.
