A very busy day for P1a!

This morning we were very excited to visit the P7 Christmas market which was raising money for the PJ foundation.  We loved looking at all the stalls and admiring the lovely things that the P7 children had made. Lots of goodies were bought and the Grinch nerf gun challenge was very popular too! Well done P7 – you made a super effort and hopefully have raised lots of money too!

Later we had a special Christmas craft afternoon with our P6a buddies back in our own classroom.  Everyone learned about the story of the Christingle and made one using an orange, red ribbon, a small candle, some cocktail sticks and dried fruit.

Below are some lovely pictures of us making lots of different Christmassy things with the buddies!

The choir visited the Linlithgow Care Home last week and performed a range of Christmas songs. The children in the choir were given a warm welcome and sang beautifully, everyone agreed that they were a real credit to the school. The residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon!

Thank you to the parent helpers who walked with the children. The choir’s next Christmas visit is to Templars Court on Thursday 14th December.

Today we had our special book week show and tell and as our P6 buddies are at school camp we were joined by some buddies from P7.  We enjoyed telling each other about our favourite books and the buddies even read some of them to us.

We were very excited to take home the Bookbug bags today. Miss McDermott has read 2 of the stories in class as they both have a baby theme and we have been learning about babies!)  ~ The Fourth Bonniest Baby in Dundee and Little Owl’s Egg.  Next week after we have read the other book Gorilla Loves Vanilla we are going to vote in The Bookbug Picture Book Prize.

Below are some photos of us taking part in today’s show and tell.

P7A Defenders in Action

Leave a comment

Well done to all the P7 pupils who took part in their mock trials this evening. They were confident, well-prepared, well-behaved and enthusiastic. We were impressed by their persuasive arguments and their cool, calm and collected approach under pressure. Here are a few snaps of P7A in their case against St Mary’s (Leith). JP
