Nativity
Well done to all of the children from P1 & P2 who successfully performed their Wriggly Nativity, not once, not twice, but three times this week. You are all stars!
Paper Chains
The children have been busy decorating the classroom with number bond paper chains.
Christmas Feast
On Wednesday the children all enjoyed a very festive Christmas lunch. They had sparkly decorated tables, Christmas music and to top it all off Santa and the Elves were busy serving in the kitchen!
Primary 1 have had a fantastic party this afternoon. We did our Scottish Country dancing, played games such as musical statues, had party food and a visit from Santa. We finished up with a dancing competition. Here are some photos from our party:

Sports Committee
The Sports Committee recently delivered a short presentation at last Friday’s Assembly. They split themselves into 3 groups and have came up with 3 fantastic ideas.
Exciting Times Ahead
Terms 3 and 4 will be very busy. Here is a flavour of what is coming up.
Christmas Parties
P1 – P7 have taken part in their Christmas Parties and have had lots of fun. Over the last few weeks each class has been learning some traditional Scottish Country Dancing and they performed these fantastically.
All of the great work going on will help us to gain our 3rd Gold Award. if successful, we will be the first primary school in West Lothain to achieve this remarkable feat.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year when it comes.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mr Stewart and the Sports Committee
The children had a great afternoon on Monday working together with their ‘Read To’ buddy in P4/P1
The children told a Christmas story, wrote a story book and some made elf puppets where others played a snowman dice game. The engagement level was very high as they worked together and helped each other with ideas, writing cutting and drawing.
We had a ball at the party on Tuesday the kids had great fun and really showed off their dancing skills
P7 created Powerpoint presentations to teach P1 the French words for different colours. Today was the big day and P7 had great fun working with their P1 buddies. The P7 pupils are very happy to report that P1 were amazing at French and remembered the words very quickly.

As you know, P7 along with P6, had their Christmas Party on Monday afternoon. A great time was had by all. What a range of moves they displayed in the disco, and their modern take on Scottish Country Dancing was a sight to behold! Thank you to Miss Conway, Mrs Murdoch and Mr Stewart, as well as our brilliant parent helpers.
Photos below give a taste of the afternoon.
Well done to Jarrad for being our Pupil of the Week! Jarrad worked extremely hard to find rhyming words in the poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’.
In Primary 1M we have had yet another busy week. We have performed our nativity to the whole school and our parents twice as well as that we have been practicing our sounds and working hard on mastering the ‘th’ sound. This is tricky but if we persevere we will get there. We are continuing to develop our mathematical language through number talks. We also enjoyed some yoga in class on Thursday. Here are a couple of pictures of us in our Nativity costumes:
