This week Primary 1 and Primary 2 pupils have been involved in the voting for the Scottish Children’s Book Awards. Three short – listed books were read and then the pupils voted for their favourite. The class winner was Jack and the Flumflum Tree by Julia Donaldson.
Work is well under way for the Scottish evening with the ICE groups busy preparing their challenges to present to friends and family at the Community Centre on 5th February, 6.30-8.30pm. They are going to have so many diverse and exciting presentations to entertain you with so make sure you book your tickets soon!
On Wednesday Primary 1/2 visited the play park with Peter Cicalese from West Lothian Counil. The children had wanted to find out about people who work in the park and were interested to learn all about the different jobs which Peter did.
The Christmas holidays are upon us and it has been the busiest but most enjoyable week in school for both staff and pupils for a while. The children performed wonderfully on Monday and Tuesday in our school concert and I hope you enjoyed them as much as the children enjoyed performing them. I am sure you will agree when I say we have a few budding stars in our midst, evident from our youngest to our eldest children. I wish I had their confidence at that age and perhaps been given the opportunity to be involved in such wonderful ventures. I would like to extend a huge thank you to all the parents, grandparents and friends who came along to both concert performances and to the Church to support the children.
I hope you have a lovely Christmas with your family and wish all good luck for the New Year.
