Thank you for all of the lovely cards,gifts and good wishes that we received at Christmas.
From all of the nursery team!
Christmas activities in the nursery
As you know the last week in nursery has been extremely busy. Here are just a few photographs of the children enjoying the festive activities!
Festive Fun! Merry Christmas from everyone at Blackburn Primary!
We also enjoyed a visit from Bathgate Academy pupils who put on a great performance of “Jack and The Beanstalk” as well as a trip to Howden Park to see “Aladdin”. Our Christmas concert, cake and craft afternoon was also a big success and all the kids had a ball!
Everyone at Blackburn Primary would like to thank all the parents and carers for all their help, donations and support, not just over the festive but throughout the whole year.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy new year when it comes! I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday! Laura McMillan 🙂
Nursery Nativity
Well done to all of the boys and girls for their fantastic nativity performances today. Lots of mums, dads and other family and friends came along to watch at school and enjoyed a cup of tea and mince pie too. If you have taken any photographs, perhaps you could email them to Miss McDermott at the nursery for everyone to see.

Remember it is out Christmas Fair tomorrow and both parties are on Thursday! 
Secret Santa
Video Stars
This morning our “Glee Club” was videoed singing three of our many Christmas songs.
This video will be posted on West Lothian Council’s Facebook page and website later today – check out our cheery smiley faces online.
Our busy week in the nursery
The boys and girls have been very busy throughout this week making Christmas cards and decorations as well as practising for their nativity. Both groups enjoyed their visit to school to watch the older children too! And on top of all of that, the morning children made soup for snack which was very popular given the cold, wet weather.
Exciting and busy times ahead.
Pupils from ASD1, ASD2 and P2/3/4 are having a busy time practising for their part in our Christmas Concert, Craft, cake and Coffee afternoon on Monday 14th December at 1 p.m. I hope you have a note in your diary!
Before that, our little “Glee Club” will be getting videoed by West Lothian Council, for inclusion on their Facebook page, and will be performing some of our Christmas songs. I’ll post when that is likely to happen after we have been recorded.
When Monday is over there still won’t be any rest as the 3 classes are leading the Christmas Assembly next Friday (18th December) at 10 a.m. in Blackburn and Seafield Parish Church. Hope you can make it along to support us – Merry Christmas!
Hopefield Nursery Christmas Preparations
Everyone in the nursery is starting to get excited for Christmas. We have decorated our beautiful tree and been learning all about the First Christmas. There has been lots of singing and dancing already as you can see from our photos!
ASD2/ Shooting stars – More “Snow Day” activities.
If it’s too snowy and cold to come to school here are some activities to get up to:
1) Go outside and make a snow angel or a snow man – Remember to take a photo and send it in to show and tell us all at news time!
2) If it is too cold outside use pillows and blankets to make a snow den indoors – you could eat a snack, listen to music or watch a movie from inside you den. Remember to take photos if you do this.
3) Make a warming cup of hot chocolate with an adult. Did you have it fully loaded with cream and marshmallows or plain (and more healthy)?
