Well last Thursday we were all treated to a performance by all year groups at our Scottish Assembly to celebrate all things Scottish. Here are a few pictures to show you what classes got up to. It was also nice to see some parents and carers attend to watch their children.

Lickety Spit Theatre Group in the Nursery!

2012-01-29T17:39:00.001Z

Some of the children in the nursery have been taking part in a drama production organised by Lickety Spit theatre group. The children went on journey to help two ladies, both called Margaret meet their heart’s desire; they had to pretend to travel through mud, cross the sea and climb a mountain., but finally got to the top by helping each other. Both sessions were filmed and the children’s parents and carers will get a chance to see the film very soon.

Farewell Mrs MacLennan!

2012-01-29T17:31:00.002Z

In the first week of term we said good-bye to another teacher. Mrs Susan MacLennan is leaving Forthview for two years to work in a language unit. All the staff and children came to-gether to wish her good luck in her new job. Although we don’t have a photograph of Mr Wright giving Mrs MacLennan her big kiss! We do have a picture of Bartosz presenting her with some beautiful flowers.

Returning for 2012!

2012-01-08T13:57:00.004Z

Well we left last year with a big celebration, in our Christmas final day assembly we had our musicians and choir performing and the primary 7s started the assembly with a candle ceremony. It was brilliant, but unfortunately we did say goodbye to Mrs Vacher who will be missed lots, she left with a big kiss from Mr Wright and Mr Heron (see all the pictures below). Remember we are back for a new school term on Tuesday (10.1.12), to start another great term at Forthview!

P.s. Keep a look out on this Blog as Mr Dickie will be announcing an exciting new club starting end of January 2012!

P1-4 see Aladdin!

2011-12-02T20:29:00.008Z

On Thursday, P1-4 travelled to Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh to see Aladdin. Everyone absolutely loved it, even the teachers! We all especially loved the jumping song where we had to jump as fast as we could to create an earthquake to scare the dragon away in the creepy cave. Here are some pictures of our journey to the Pantomime.

Children in Need 2011 (18.11.11)

2011-11-18T18:50:00.000Z

Today was Children in Need and everyone at Forthview came dressed in their pyjamas or in some other way. It was great to see so many children and teachers in their pyjamas raising money for Children in Need, where we raised around £270 which we will send to Radio Forth Cash for Kids. We even had a special assembly where Mr Wright introduced us to Renard the French Fox who gave Ms Bogey a kiss on the cheek, Mr Harris played us his didgeridoo, and the teachers got up to dance to YMCA with the children. Check out the pictures below if you don't believe it!

Parental Open Morning (10.11.11)

2011-11-13T12:59:00.000Z

It was lovely to have lots of parents and carers show up on Thursday for our Parental Open Morning which focused on Big Writing, and it was great to see them all enjoying being part of their children's writing lesson. The teacher's also enjoyed this extra time to meet the parents and get them involved in the writing lessons. There will be another Parental Open Morning in the near future, so if you couldn't make it to this one, we hope to see you at the next! Take a look at the pictures to see all the parents and carers getting involved.
