Month: December 2018

Warmest wishes of this festive season and a Happy New Year. For the children celebrating, I hope Santa is good to you all. Have a wonderful holiday everyone, we look forward to welcoming you back in 2019!

Thank you P3.12 for reading your wonderful Christmas stories to us. Santa sure is adventurous travelling all over the world delivering Christmas presents just in time for all the boys and girls to wake up to.

It really is a party today and we look dashing 🎉

The party started with musical statues, we boogied to Christmas songs and froze when the music stopped.

Well done to our winners!

Next we played pass the parcel. Every time the music stopped we unwrapped a layer of paper to find a little task we had to complete before moving on.

Well done to our winner!

Then we played corners. There were four corners and every time the music stopped we had to choose a corner to run to. Without looking, a corner was chosen by a teacher and if you were at the chosen corner you had to go out. This went on till there were only four players left.

Well done to the winners!

After the party games, we had party snacks. Yummy 😋

Last but not least, we had a surprise visitor! Can you guess who…

Indeed it was Santa Claus and he brought us presents. We were so excited today and had great fun!

The day finally arrived for our Christmas Nativity.

Our teachers think we made the sweetest most angelic angels. We have loved practising for the nativity and were so excited to perform for all our families. We hope you enjoyed ‘It’s a Party’.

The excitement isn’t over just quite yet though because tomorrow is our party 🎉

We wonder if we’ll have any surprise visitors….. 🎅

Today our Minister, Adrienne came to tell us the Christmas story.

In a little town of Bethlehem lived Mary, Mary was looking forward to getting married.

One day an angel came to visit her and said, ‘Don’t be afraid God has chosen you for something very special, you are going to have a baby called Jesus. He is the son of God.’

When Joseph heard the news he was worried, the angel spoke to Joseph in a dream. ‘Don’t be afraid, take care of Mary. She is going to give birth to the son of God and he will bring many blessings.’ Joseph did as he was told.

They went to Bethlehem and the town was very busy. The only place they could find to live was with the animals. Mary gave birth to baby Jesus and wrapped him in swaddling clothes.

The angels spoke to the shepherds, ‘Don’t be afraid, the son of God has arrived.’

Far away some wise men saw a star in the sky. It’s a sign a new king has been born and we must go to visit him. They took gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. These were special gifts were for the king.

We were invited to watch the nursery nativity today and saw lots of younger siblings and friends from Mearns Masters.

We were so impressed with their singing, actions and acting. They were fantastic!

We are enjoying rehearsing for our nativity and look forward to welcoming all parents and carers on Tuesday 18th December.

Christmas is in full swing in Primary 1.1

We are working hard in the workshop making toys for boys and girls who are on Santa’s good list.

Next we use our wrapping skills to gift wrap the toys.

Then we put our presents under our Christmas tree.

We enjoy serving and eating Christmas dinner next to our cosy fireplace where our stockings hang.
