This week we held three successful performances of the ‘Wriggly Nativity’ led by our P1-2 children.
On Monday our friends from Linlithgow Day Care Centre watched the dress-rehearsal performance and thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the children perform. We are really proud of the link that we have with the Day Care Centre. There are published studies about the benefits of old and young learning together and this is something that we will continue to take forward in school and nursery.
Thank you to all of our P1-2 pupils and the infant staff for their hard work in making our Nativity performances a huge success.
All children in school went to Howden Park Centre to watch the Jack and the Beanstalk Panto yesterday. They all had a wonderful time!
Next week we will be holding our nursery and P1-7 Xmas parties and our family church service at St Michael’s.
Please also note that our P3-7 children will be singing ‘carols around the tree’ next Friday morning at the following times:
9. 15am-P3-5 with parents invited.
10am-P6-7 with parents invited.
In the last newsletter, we shared our ‘wish list’ of some of the items that we hope to buy with money raised by the PTA. I am absolutely delighted to say that we have now purchased and built a fantastic ‘block play’ resource for our infant corridor. Our P3 ‘play leaders’ will begin to lead other children in block play.
Thank you all for allowing us to buy such a fanstastic resource! Block play is known to enable learning across all curriculum areas as well as promoting creativity and problem-solving skills. I can’t wait to see what the children build!
Our infant department is looking amazing and it provides a smooth transition from nursery , across the early level and into P2 and P3. Many of the learning and teaching approaches that we use in nursery can be seen in our infant department , allowing us to have a shared understanding about what high quality experiences look like in early years. Our children are able to make progress and add depth to their learning as they grow.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
