Joulupuu on Rakennettu
We have learned a Finnish Christmas song- or at least two verses of it! We hope we have pronounced the words correctly, and that you can understand us!
Joulupuu on rakennettu,
joulu on jo ovella.
Namusia ripustettu
ompi kuusen oksilla.
Kuusen piennet kynttiläiset
valaisevat kauniisti.
Ympärillä lapsukaiset
laulelevat sulosti.

The Virginia Reel
In P.E. this morning, we learned the Scottish dance called The Virginia Reel. We thought you might enjoy watching us perform it! This was filmed using our new camcorder, which we bought after winning £200 for our blog work with Kuvansi last year!

Christmas lunch in Yester
After lunch, the staff enjoyed a few minutes in the staff room, where they exchanged "Secret Santa" gifts that they had bought for each other. This is the present that someone bought for Mr Purves. Perhaps it's an improvement...

Snowy Yester!
This is Yester church, in the centre of the village. It has been snowing here and it is looking very beautiful. This type of weather is very unusual here in East Lothian. (I have not reduced the size of these pictures too much, so click on them for a larger version.)

This is The Avenue, which leads to the park, where children often play football when the weather is better. In the park, it's also possible to play cricket in the summer. This is a very unusual scene for us, as it is only very rarely as cold as it has been today!

Winter comes to Gifford!
This is one of the main roads into the village. It's a very beautiful scene, with the snow on all the trees.
