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.
Our Finnish presents!
Some of the class, with their keyrings and badges.
Mr Ikonen sent us some key-rings, badges and a large Finnish flag. The pupils were really delighted to receive them. Kiitos paljon!

Christmas lunch time
Here are some of last year's P5 class, who worked on the Healthy Passport blog with Mr Ikonen's class. They look as if they are enjoying their food!

Sylvia and her kitchen staff were very busy. However, they still managed to smile!
Christmas lunch at Yester
As the children finished their lunches, the staff sat down to enjoy the turkey. We all agreed that, once again, the cooks had produced a very tasty lunch. Well done to the kitchen staff!
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.
Snowy Scotland!
This is down in the centre of the village, close to the village hall.
Here are some of the class, outside our school entrance in the falling snow!

St Andrew's Day!
In Scotland, the 30th November is a very special day as it is St Andrew's Day. All the pupils in the school stood outside this morning in the playground, forming the shape of the Scottish flag, the Saltire.
In class, we made our own tartan designs, using white card, and different colours of wool. This is one of the designs we made!

We are doing a project about electricity. Today, we had a very special visitor who came from Torness Power Station. His name is Oscar- and he is a robot! The whole school sat, amazed, as Oscar gave a presentation about electricity. Click on the play button to hear Oscar talking to the class!

A visit from the local policeman
As part of our Health Fortnight, we had a visit from the local community policeman, PC Gunn. We listened very carefully as PC Gunn explained some of the ways to keep ourselves safe at all times. It was a very interesting talk and we asked lots of questions.
A visit from the Ecolab company
Today, Tristan from the Ecolab company came to talk to us. We learned about how important recycling is. We talked about what things we use can be recycled.
Ecolab- the natural recycler
At the end of our talk, we saw a natural recycler- a millipede. It was great fun letting it crawl over our hands!
Yester's Health Fortnight
We are in the middle of our two week Health Fortnight. We have been enjoying lots of different activities, all which are designed to raise our awareness of Health. We think it is very important to stay healthy. Here, the whole school started the day by enjoying a 20 minute aerobics session outside!
