Please note that all children in P2/1 were given cards yesterday with their lines on them for their assembly next Wednesday afternoon.
Although we have been working on these in class, it would be much appreciated if you could go over these with your child so that they feel comfortable saying them and can say them in a loud, clear, confident voice.
Please send in cards each day so we can use them in class.
Thank you for your support.

Early Intervention
On Monday and Wednesday we worked hard in our groups learning some new sounds and doing our reading. Some groups were learning about ‘ee’ and ‘oo’, some were learning about ‘ck’ and some were learning about ‘ar’.
A New Shop In Stoneyburn!
The children from Mrs Sibbald’s class have been busy creating a shop in their classroom. We arranged all he bottles and boxes on the shelves and we should be ready to open soon. (Kacey, P2)
STEM Challenge
Yesterday P3/2 were making towers out of different materials like Legi, K’Nex and cubes. We had to make sure our towers were stable, steady, could stand up on their own and they had to be at least 30cm tall. (Layla, P2 & Adam, P2)
P.E with Mr Tennant
At gym today we were in teams and we had to try to get the ball in the hoop, but we weren’t allowed to run with the ball, it was like we were stuck in the mud! (Jada, P2)
When Mr Tennant said stop, we had to stop and sit down. (Jaden, P2)
Number Talks
Yesterday our group did a ‘Number Talks’ target number. We had to try to think of lots of ways of making 16 by adding and subtracting. I came up with 16+0. (Leon, P2)
French
We played a French game this week to practice saying hello, goodbye and asking people how they were. (Billie, P3)
We need your help!
We would like to set up a shop and cafe in our classroom to help us learn all about money.
We have drawn and talked about our ideas but we need your help.
If you have any empty food boxes or drink bottles, could you please send them in so we can stack the shelves in our shop! For example, we are looking for empty boxes of teabags, cereal, biscuits etc, and empty juice bottles.
Thank you for your help.

A huge well done to everyone in P2/1 for their fantastic Scottish poetry recital this afternoon. All the boys and girls recited the poem ‘Midges’ to their friends and showed that they are indeed, confident individuals!
Also, another big ‘Well Done’ to Gracie, Kyle and Emma for confidently joining their peers from Our Lady’s at the Ceilidh last night and standing up in front of a large audience to recite their poem. They did brilliantly and we are all very proud of them!
The boys and girls had a great time at their Christmas party yesterday afternoon and really enjoyed their special visitor who made it along to join them for a little while. The big question though was ‘how did he get here?’ Luckily, lots of boys and girls heard hooves on the roof of the gym hall so we are surmising Santa and his reindeer flew in to Stoneyburn yesterday afternoon! 🙂

Nearly there!
Just one more week to go before everyone gets a well-earned break!
The last few weeks have been hectic but very successful and lots of fun.
We were particularly proud of our choir who performed at the Santa Parade, The Pensioners’ Treat and our Christmas Show.
If you would like to see more of these talented youngsters log onto the West Lothian Council website where you can listen to them perform two of their Christmas songs.
Lights, Camel, Action!
Thank you to those of you who came along and supported the children at our recent Nativity. It was absolutely FAB-U-LOUS!!
Mrs Howard
We are very lucky to have Mrs Howard join our staff to work on P.E and Team Building Skills. Mrs Howard will be with us on Mondays so we will need to re schedule our assemblies from January:
| WEDNESDAY February 7th 2.15-3.00 | Primary 4 |
| WEDNESDAY March 7th 2.15-3.00 | Primary6/5 |
| WEDNESDAY April 25th 2.15-3.00 | Primary 3/2 |
| WEDNESDAY May 16th 2.15-3.00 | Primary 2/1 |
Having Mrs Howard with us means that some classes will change the days they have P.E:
PE for P7 Mon and Fri, P3/2 Mon and Fri and P2/1 Mon and Fri.
Please support your child’s learning every day by making sure that they have all that they need for their school day. We are really concerned at the number of children coming without a P.E kit. This is an important part of the curriculum and your children are missing out. If we work together we will ensure that they are getting the best experiences. We can’t do it without you!
Head Lice
Please check your child’s head regularly. Head lice is easy to treat but it is also easy to spread. Being alert can save discomfort.
Happy Holidays
School closes on Friday 22nd December at 12.20 and re-opens for pupils on Tuesday 9th January at 8.45.
We would like to wish you all a safe and merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year from all of the staff at Stoneyburn.
The boys and girls in P2/1 were treated to very special visitors this afternoon for a fun, interactive workshop: author and illustrator, Jo Hall and JoJo Gnome!
The children were taken on an adventure around Sound Town where they met all the different characters who lived in the houses and discovered the sounds and dances they did.
They then heard the story ‘JoJo Gnome and the Cake Contest’ and listened very well to Jo reading and answered all her questions.
Then there was a smell challenge! They had to guess the smells of 4 different cupcakes. They turned out to be lemon, mint, caramel and orange.
During the week, the boys and girls had worked hard to design cupcake pictures and these were then used to create an animation with Jo. She will edit these and forward them to us.
JoJoGnome can be found on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
What a very busy time P2/1 have been having! Over the past few weeks we have been busy making lots of beautiful things for the Christmas Fayre – which was a great success, so Thank You! Our class raised nearly £70 so we will enjoy spending our money on new games for RAP time after the New Year.
Yesterday we received a letter from the main man of the season – Santa Claus!! He wrote to us to tell us that some of his elves had been a bit silly and had forgotten to write down the things that children had wanted beside their name. He asked for our help to write another letter to check if he had managed to sort everything out! Our Primary 2 girls worked very hard with Mrs Campbell on this job and Primary 1 did a fantastic job of writing their letters. Lots of detailed pictures and great sounding out of words using sounds that they know. These letters are sure to make Santa’s job very easy!
Our main focus over the past couple of weeks has of course been our Christmas Nativity. The boys and girls have been working extremely hard to learn their lines, song words and all of their stage actions. You are going to be very impressed when you come along to see it. It was exciting last week when we got to try on our costumes for the first time!! Our first Show is on Tuesday at 1.30pm and our evening performance is at 6.00pm. We can’t wait for you to see our show!
P2/1 had a very busy morning emptying the Christmas post box and then sorting out all the mail so they could deliver it to the right class!!! We hope everyone got their Christmas cards today!!!
