Christmas week in Primary 7

1 Comment

What a great week we had on the run up to the Christmas holidays. Our upper school Christmas party was a wonderful afternoon filled with games and country dancing, which I know my class secretly loved. Primary 7 created the most beautiful class display for the hall as a team. It was a perspective art lesson, a winters street scene. It was so beautiful and I was very proud. We wrote fabulous alliterative poems about Christmas to showcase our poetry work this term.

The children performed beautifully at the Church for our service, they sang so well and everyone spoke clearly. Everyone was very proud of the class. A special thank you from Primary 7 to Mr Darroch for having us and speaking and also to our Primary 1 and 2 who sang one of their nativity songs for us.

Finally the Primary 7’s organised a whole school board game afternoon in the upper area. We all had such a laugh swapping tables and spending time across the classes. With a good sing song too.

Christmas in Primary 7

In term 2, we focused on poetry through our Literacy. We were reading, listening to, acting out, illustrating and then writing poetry. The class worked so well during this project and we wrote a class poem called ‘What does Christmas mean to me?’. The class split into pairs and created a couple of verses each. I am so proud of the final outcome and am delighted to share it with you all.

What does Christmas mean to me?

A poem written by Primary 7

What does Christmas mean to me?

Well, it changes every year you see.

 

When I was five, I couldn’t sleep

For dreams of presents and lots of sweets.

Writing to Santa to tell him my desires

As I watched for reindeer flying higher and higher.

Some wonderful years have now passed

And those magical memories they still last.

But now that I am older I’m learning to see

That Christmas can mean so much more to me.

 

We hang up the precious tree decorations

As we look forward to loud family celebrations.

Spending too much money buying random expensive gifts

When actually dad really likes those 10p crisps.

Everyone I love, sitting around drinking tea

Listening to their laughs fills me with joyful glee.

Sitting around the busy table having delicious Christmas dinner

Listening to cracker jokes and teaching papa to use a fidget spinner.

 Giving family and friends presents fills my heart with such bliss

As they softy give me a warming thank you kiss.

Spending time with family is so dear

It spreads the love and the Christmas cheer.

 

Christmas is a time to be full of hope and love

Spread joy to everyone, give thanks to god above.

But we think of others at Christmas time too

To remind us that it’s not all about you.

We can give to the food bank; cereal, pasta and rice

Helping others in need, we all should be nice.

We can check on a neighbour, be friendly, give them a surprise

Listen to their stories, learn from others who are wise.

We visit our relativities to make sure they are okay

But we should do it more regularly not just on Christmas day.

We can give to local charity some of our old toys

To spread magic and happiness to less fortunate girls and boys.

 

So what does Christmas mean to you?

We hope that we have changed your view.

Choir days out

Leave a comment

The Choir have been out and about raising money. We visited Harthill Senior Citizen Centre last Thursday where we spread some Christmas cheer. We would like to thank them for their generous donation and presents for the children. Yesterday, we made our annual visit to Tesco. We received a warm reception and would like to thank Tesco once again for supporting the school. We would also like to thank all the friends and family who came along to support the children.

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!

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
