Month: December 2025

Some of our pupils have made the most of being outside this morning, and are surely feeling the Christmas spirit.

They have been planning and serving up a delicious Christmas dinner in the outdoor kitchen for their friends. They have been busy counting how many people would be coming for their dinner, and making sure they had the correct amount of plates! This included 1-1 counting, and some subitising. When they realised another pupil had come into the garden to play, they were quick to make sure they had another plate, turning their party of 3 into a party of 4.

 

The boys made some “sizzling stuffing”, gravy, tatties, sausages and turkey. Another pupil made a lovely pudding to share.

Very importantly, one of our pupils pointed out that “wir sausages hae to be peerie”!

This was a lovely opportunity to explore numeracy skills by counting and subitising while naturally practicing social inclusion as they welcome their friends into their game.

Outdoor play encourages them to use their own voices and build their creative confident needed to solve problems and share ideas together.

Some of our pupils enjoyed a delicious christmas dinner prepared by our wonderful canteen staff! They sat really well, and seemed to enjoy seeing the pupils all the way from primary one up to S4.

We enjoyed sharing the festive spirit across the whole school.

Thank you to all for coming to see our nursery concert, the bairns have been working hard practicing their singing and actions over the last few weeks.

The pupils were involved in choosing the songs they wanted to perform, which were: When Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney, Away in a Manger, Jingle Bells and Golden for their finale dance.

We are very proud of the effort the pupils have put into their concert this year.

Thank you for your donations, and for purchasing wir fudge, Christmas tree decorations and reindeer food, so far we have raised a total of £237.10.

Some of our pupils have been in the primary this morning selling some reindeer food that our ‘Friday Fun’ primary pupils have been making for the nursery enterprise.

We hope to keep selling our reindeer food next week, and again at our nursery concert for only £2.00 a cone. The pupils were very confident shouting “Roll up, roll up and buy our reindeer food!” and were keen asking the buyers “how much do you want?”
