The choir walked to Tesco and back today to sing for their customers.
We saw lots of people smile when they heard us as they came in the door.
They raised £217.40 !!!!!
Well done to them and thanks to Tracy the Community Champion for inviting us.
Many thanks to the facilities Management staff at Aegon for inviting us again to sing for the Aegon staff during Christmas Lunches. We all had a lovely time singing.
An added bonus was that we collected £333.30 in our collecting buckets – many thanks to all who contributed !
We hope they can come to see the Nativity at School.
We are still having problems with people not phoning us when their child is absent. You must call us as soon as possible.
As you know we do not finish until 3.20pm on Tuesday 23rd December – it is really important that you phone with absences even if it is the last day.
We thought Chris needed a Christmas jumper for all the events he goes to !
He loved it !
All lined up to ‘ congo’ to the lunch hall.
Tucking into our delicious lunch.
Happy times with our classmates.
Primary 3 had a great time at our Christmas Lunch today. We made reindeer hats in the morning and wore them to our lunch. We sang Christmas songs while eating our dinner. The turkey, steak pie and lasage were all yummy!!.
We were are full up but managed to finish the ice cream and the chocolate Freddo as well!!
Thank you to the kitchen staff for your hard work not just today but throughout the rest of the year.
Many thanks to our cook Carolynn Aitken and her team for a fantastic day. They worked so hard to prepare for this special lunch – what a team effort !
Thanks also to Morgan Baker and his family for their generous donation with which we bought a new Christmas Tree and decorations. You will see from our photos that we all had a fabulous time.
This event takes place on Friday 19th December at 9.30am. Coffee/tea will be available from 9.00am.
We do not charge for this event but would like people to make a donation of items of food (not fresh – tins or packets only)
which we will donate to the West Lothian Food Bank.
Thanks for your support – hopefully we can make things better for some families during this ‘season of goodwill’.
Below are some of the drawings from our P1 children of what the Nativity will look like.
As part of our continuing work as a level two Rights Respecting School, our two pupil assessors spoke to the whole school. This term all pupils are being asked their opinions on new charters for the dinner hall and playground. Dinner hall and playground staff will also be consulted about these charters as it is important that we all agree on what we should do to help keep everyone happy, healthy and safe.
The photographs show some primary 6 and 7 pupils working together to decide on relevant articles for the playground charter and our pupil assessors speaking at assembly.
P4/3, P4 and P5 were learning all about Scottish wildlife last week. All P4 and P5 had the chance to go on the wild about Scotland bus where they were finding out about beavers and Scottish wildcats. The bus is an initiative run by Clydesdale Bank and the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. Staff from the zoo were on the bus to teach pupils all about native wildlife. They learned about different habitats, compared fur and paw prints and tried to build an effective dam. While not on the bus, other groups were doing activities such as creating labelled drawings of beavers and drawing beaver habitats.
As part of our ongoing Business Enterprise programme ‘Plant a seed, cultivate an idea, reap the rewards’ some businesses had a stall at the Christmas Fayre. This week we were all busy planning our stall, prices, stock and marketing. We were delighted with the amount of sales from only 2 hours of selling. We have made an impressive £477 so far. Selling continues next week in school at break/lunch at the main door. Be quick, as stock is selling fast!
