What a festive week we have had!

Firstly, for a special treat we had a visit from “Magic Christopher” who certainly lived up to his name when performing his magic show for us! It really was spectacular 🙂

I will post more photographs on our Nursery Parents Facebook page as I am having a little difficulty this evening adding more photos to the blog!!

On Behalf of our whole Nursery team have a fantastic Christmas break with your families and a very happy new year 2016 when it comes!

🙂

It has been a lovely last week of term, so many festive things going on.  Many of our class members are in the school choir and they have performed in a variety of settings this week.  Great feedback, so well done to all invovled.  Our brass players have also performed this week at our cake and carols, it was magical as always!

Christmas jumper day and Christmas dinner was excellent!  Everyone was full to the brim!

Our Christmas party was a huge success…the Scottish Dancing was super!

The Christmas sing-a-long was also a hit.  The video made of us practising our song in class is too large to attach at the moment, I am hoping that Santa’s elves will help me over the holidays to work out how to make my file smaller.

Have a lovely relaxing and peaceful holiday.

This week has been extremely exciting but very busy.

On Tuesday we had our annual Christmas jumper and lunch day. Kalin had macaroni cheese and thought it was “delicious”. Chloe had super “tasty” turkey and the best gateau ever!! Harry was very sad that we was off on this day and missed his Christmas dinner but he had a superb time at his Christmas party on Wednesday.

At our Christmas party we showed off our amazing dance moves at our disco, we did traditional Scottish dancing, played games, had some food and we even had a visitor!! Santa Claus came to see us and left a special treat in our classroom.

Kerrigan “It was great fun!!”

Brandon “My favourite part was the games!”

Louise and Beth were our P4 winners. Great job girls!

For maths this week we looked at 3D shapes and created a 3D Christmas tree. They were fantastic. We decorated them and used glitter to make them sparkle. We also did some coordinates. Thomas thought it was quite difficult but he really enjoyed making his Christmas tree picture using coordinates.

On Thursday we had lots of special treats. Our first special treat was a FANTASTIC pantomime. It was called “Jack and the beanstalk”.

Isla “It was great!!”

Preston “My favourite part of the pantomime was when Squire Bogey got poked in the eye by Jack. It was so funny!!”

Then Mrs Wassell gave us an extra special treat. We have an afternoon at the movies to watch Arthur Christmas and we even had popcorn!!! Mmmmmm… It was a lovely afternoon.

To finish off a fantastic term we had our singalong Christmas morning! We sang ‘Nazareth’ from The Nativity! We were super duper!!!!

Well this just leaves us with one last thing to say..

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Mrs W and P4

Well, what a fun last week we have had.

Yesterday we enjoyed our pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk. It was very funny and even had Mrs Kerr up dancing with the cast members at the end. Mrs Kerr was very happy about this…

Ailie said “it was very good and it was really funny when Gill and Jack held hands and Jacks mother pulled them apart.”

Jay said “It was very funny when the giant baby wouldn’t open the door for her dad.”

Nasim said “I thought it was yuck when Gill and Jack kissed.”

Shannon said “I liked the part when Jack and Gill climbed up the beanstalk.”

Brooke said “I liked it when the giant’s eyes moved around at the letterbox.

Jay-P said “My favourite part was when the key fell down and Squire Boggy got poked in the eye.”

Rachel said “I liked it when Jack and Squire Boggy spoke about the Gruffalo and Jack said he was like Squire Boggy.”

We all wish you a very holy and Merry Christmas and we will see you in 2016.

Here are some photos from our Diwali feast last week……

On Thursday some of our St. Ninian’s Mini Vinnies group visited the Livingston Care Home to give the residents some handmade decorations and just to spend some time simply talking to them. It was lovely to see the children interacting with the residents and it was very evident that they really appreciated our time and small gifts. I am so proud of our Mini Vinnies for their confidence, frendliness and positive attitudes and both myself and the children would be very grateful if you could please spare a few thoughts and prayers for the ladies and gentlemen which we met, especially over the Christmas period.

Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year from Miss Ford and all of the Mini Vinnies.

This week in P7 we started the week working very hard in maths and have now finished the topic of Angles. The children have worked so hard on improving their ability to classify, name, estimate and measure angles this term and I am very happy with the progress each and every one of them have made within second level maths.

After beginning the week with tricky work we spent the last couple of days having lots of fun preparing for Christmas. We learned a little more about Advent, learned some Spanish Christma s vocabulary and did some Christmas art and craft to decorate our classroom.

On Thursday all of the P7 children were given a treat and decided to either go to our Christmas party or watch a movie. Everyone had lots of fun as you will see from the photos below!

Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!
