The boys and girls in Primary 5/4 and 6/5 have been learning ‘Last Christmas’ on the ukulele. They performed it today as part of the Christmas Service which was very successful. If you couldn’t make it along here is a video of the classes practising!IMG_1359b
Christmas Nativity
The nursery boys and girls took part in their Nativity performance on Thursday the 17th December. They were fantastic!
Beautiful singing voices, great acting and everyone was well behaved.
Well done boys and girls 🙂
primary 5/4 news
We have been playing a new game called Make a Monty. Have a go at home by challenging someone in your family or a friend. You will need a dice and some paper and pens, remember you have to roll in order, so you can not start the drawing unless you roll a 1, next you are looking to roll a 2 and then a 3, 4, 5 and finally a 6.
We also have enjoyed developing our Sudoku skills. here is an online game where you can try a 4×4 grid then a 9×9 grid for the experts.

Mrs Cochrane making Christmas crafts
We have been making marzipan fruit with our parent helper Mrs Cochrane. This activity develops our fine motor skills and is lots of fun too! We would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Cochrane for all her hard work this year. 
Pupils v Adults Football
A massive thank you to our wonderful parents who came along to our final football club. Your support was very welcome and we all had a great time. There were some very close scores and tough competition.
Thank you for our spectators and a big thank you to Robert Marshall, Brain Laing, Colin Rogerson, Kirsty Cunningham and Kevin Buntin for playing football with the pupils.
Hope to see you all at the next one. Have a lovely Christmas break.

Christmas
We went to see Ralph the Reindeer on Monday, well done P1-P3 the show was fantastic! We came back to nursery singing lots of Christmas songs.
Everyone has enjoyed dressing up in Santa’s Grotto and making Christmas decorations.
We are still working hard learning our songs for our Nativity on Wednesday, we had a dress rehearsal on Thursday. Jacob is brilliant at singing ‘We wish you a Merry Christmas’ and he has a solo in the Nativity!
Open Area Fun
We have been playing in the open area and discovering all the new activities that have been developing our senses, literacy skills, climbing skills and lots more. Â Abby enjoyed using the letters in the water to spell her nouns, verbs and adjectives. Â Matthew and Reece were making a spider mountain in the sand.
Blake and Joshua had lots of fun in the water tray playing with the foam. Blake said that if we could feel clouds this is what it would feel like. Â The foam made Bryoni think about the snow and how she could make a snowman.
We are going to get a dark tent and lights put into our area after the Christmas holidays we can’t wait.
Christmas Fair Preparations
If you can smell a wonderful aroma in the upper school this afternoon it will be coming from Primary 6/5. We have been busy preparing some non-alcoholic mulled wine for the Christmas fair. We will be giving out cups of mulled wine outside from 12.45pm on Friday while the choir are singing so come early to give it a try. If you would like to try making your own at home you will find the recipe here http://www.onetoonemidwives.org/recipes/christmas-fruit-punch-non-alcoholic-mulled-wine
