Yesters Christmas Party

The Christmas party we are having is not going very well. We have no decorations, no pizzas, no music and altogether it could be a disaster.

But, help is at hand and we are making decorations, everyone is bringing in their own food, and everyone is dressing up. And finally, we must thank Robin Red Breast and Tartan Terror, who have brought in CD's.

So, it might not be that bad! Wow!

Our Christmas party!

Every year the P7s organize the Christmas party. Ours is next Thursday and the theme is what you want to wear to school! Here are some of the things we are having at the party: A fashion show, dancing competition, Christmas corners (which is a game were there are four corners with pictures on them and when the music stops you run to a corner, the music player covers their eyes and shouts out a corner and if you are at that corner you are out!!) and much more! There is going to be food and we are going to give them funny posh names! WE CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Christmas Traditions

In Scotland we have lots of Christmas traditions. We have Christmas trees in our homes which we decorate with some nice things! Most people have a star or an angel on the top of the tree. We put our presents under the trees. Some people have roast turkey for their Christmas dinner. We have Santa. Do you have a Norwegian Santa? Our santa rides in a SLEGH! with flying reindeer pulling it. He goes down chimneys and puts presents in our stockings. We have many traditions, please tell us about your traditions! We wonder if some of our traditions are the same as yours?

Christmas Party

This is Adder and Thistle,

We are going to tell you about the Christmas party that we are having on 18th December. The theme is "what you want to wear to school," and there is a competition for the person who wears the wackiest clothes (wasn't my idea!). We are going to do dancing and the cha cha slide! We hope it will be fun!

Christmas

There are 17 days till Christmas. We can not wait until Christmas day to see what Christmas presents we will get. I (Tinkerbell) am looking forward to Christmas dinner as well and I'm getting my tree next weekend.

Our Norwegian tree (almost!)

Gifford is about 20 miles from Scotland's captital city, Edinburgh. Every year Norway sends a Christmas tree to Edinburgh and it is set up on "The Mound," a hill in the centre of the city, near to Edinburgh Castle. The tree is sent by Norway as a thank you for the support Scotland gave during the Second World War. This is the 24th year Edinburgh has received the gift. The tree has always come from the Norwegian region of Hordaland. This year the tree came from an area of Scotland called Peebles, although Norway still paid for the tree. This was to reduce the carbon footprint of the tree. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh (a Scottish mayor) said: "This year Edinburgh will be having a green Christmas, so our friends in Hordaland are sourcing our famous Christmas gift locally." The tree has 1,800 lights on it. It looks lovely, doesn't it? A lot of our children will be going to Edinburgh to see the Christmas lights so they will be able to see the tree too.

Tartan Terror!

Hello again! How are you today? We’ve only got a few weeks till the Christmas holidays and I’m looking forward to a couple of weeks of freedom. Were probably going to have absolutely rubbish snow (not like you). I really really like Christmas and I’m looking forward to putting up the tree. What’s Christmas like in Norway?

Bye bye! From Tartan Terror
