We’re busy getting ready for Christmas in the nursery. The children have been enjoying lots of Christmas crafts and activities and we are doing well at learning our Christmas songs. Here are some dates for your diary.

Tuesday 13^th December – Hilton Lodge Nursing home

The afternoon pre-school children will be accompanying the Primary 6/7 pupils to sing their carols to the residents of Hilton Lodge.

Thursday 15^th December – Florabank Nursing Home

The morning children will be visiting the nursing home to sing our songs for the residents. We need three parent helpers for this visit. If you are able to help, please speak to a member of staff.

Tuesday 20^th December – Visit to West Church

Each year we visit one of the churches in Haddington at Christmas time. This year we will be going to West Church to listen to a story and to sing Christmas songs. The morning children will be visiting at 10am and the afternoon children at 2pm. We need three parent helpers for each visit. Again, please see a member of staff if you are able to help.

Wednesday 21^st December – Christmas singsong

You are invited to our short Christmas singsong. The children are busy practising their songs and are looking forward to their performance. The morning children will be singing at 11.15am and the afternoon children at 2.30pm. Please could the children wear something Christmasy e.g. baubles, tinsel, or you could get creative! There will be mince pies and a wee drink available.

Thursday 22^nd December – Christmas Parties

We’re donning our glad rags and getting ready to P.A.R.T.Y! Our Christmas parties will be held at St Mary’s RC Church hall, on Poldrate. Please bring the children direct to the church hall and collect them from there when the party finishes. The morning party will be 9.30 – 11am and the afternoon 1 – 2.30pm.

Our party day is our last day of term and we resume on Tuesday 10^th January.

We would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year. 

We were very lucky to have Mrs Overmeer’s husband, who is an architect, come to visit us recently, to talk about the work of an architect.  We had a great morning, using our new-found knowledge to build structures from straws.  We are even mentioned in Mr Hay’s blog!  Here is the link if you would like to know more …..
