Primary 6 have been busy making snow globe baubles with their bestie inside. These glittery decorations are on trend and will be available to buy at the Christmas Fair next week. What a lovely keepsake to have for years to come.

Annie Jnr
Article 29
Our education should provide us with the opportunity to share our talents.
Well, our Annie rehearsals are really coming together. We certainly have a fantastic bunch of enterprising entrepreneurs, creative artists and budding actors. We will be having a full dress rehearsal on the afternoon of Monday 23rd March, in which we will invite the rest of the school to watch.
The show dates have been finalised and tickets will be on sale soon. They are as follows:
Monday 23rd March – 6pm
Tuesday 24th March – 1pm
Thursday 26th March – 6pm
We have begun to issue costume details to individual cast members and have requested that all chorus orphans bring in dull (grey, black or brown), old, ill-fitting clothing that you wouldn’t mind being ripped or dirtied a bit. If these could be brought in in a carrier bag with their name on it, it would make it easier to keep a track of costumes.
Further information will be issued soon, but in the meantime, if you can help with other props or costumes (listed below), please just let Mrs Buchanan-Coutts know – we would be extremely grateful.
Flat caps, trilby, waistcoats, tweed style jacket, long coats (men and woman), feather boas, pin-stripe suit (men/woman), old tattered small suitcase, old style radio, camp bed or sun-loungers.
Going for Cold! Junior Great Winter Run
Well done to all members of the St Nicholas Running After School Club. They braved the elements on Saturday afternoon in Holyrood Park in Edinburgh to run the 2.5K Junior Great Winter Run. All children were great sports – they ran their very best and some great times were recorded. We are very proud of them all.
Special thanks to our local business community – Piggy Print, Waz’s Newsagents and West Lothian Construction – who sponsored the children and paid for their entrance fees. Thanks also to all our parents who supported us cheerfully, in the freezing rain, sleet and mud!

We should use our skills to the best of our abilities
From CSI to The Great British Bake-Off in 24 hours…
With money week upon us, Primary 6 thought it would be the perfect opportunity to raise some funds and buy some new books for our classroom.
We began by looking at some Victorian recipes and working out how many we would need to make in order to supply the whole school before deciding the amount of ingredients would be required. It took us a while to compare and cost up the ingredients, using different online shopping websites.
Friday came and it was all hands on deck with 200 victoria sponge cupcakes and 200 empire biscuits to make in just 1 1/2 hours! Success – we managed to sell all items and raised a whopping £120 for each class to spend on valuable reading resources. Well done everyone.
