Our Easter Assembly - Primary 6

For our Easter Service our teachers came up with a brilliant idea.

They decided to make a short film about the Easter story. Even though it was a lot of hard work, it was definitely worth it!

It was a big success with teachers, parents and pupils. The teachers and pupils put in a huge effort and in the end the hard effort really paid off. Everyone really enjoyed the service. It was so good, parents even came to the teachers to ask if they could get a copy of the film. Everyone wanted to see the film again and again! We hope you also enjoy our short film.

Our Award Winning "Woodhill Made IT Happen" Powerpoint Presentation

Nous avons rencontré un tel succes avec nos cours de français et nos échanges internationaux que nous avons été choisi par Learning and Teaching Scotland pour démarrer le pilotage du projet Passeport Santé et Citoyenneté. Aussi comme le niveau d’ICT dans notre école est extremement élevé, nous avons pris la décision d’utiliser les blogs et podcasts comme une platforme d’échange avec la France. Même si Passeport Santé n’est réellement éffectif que depuis 2007, nous avons commencé à faire des blogs et podcasts depuis 2005 pendant les cours de français avec les enfants agés de 9 et 10 ans. Pendant cette période nous avons recherché differents moyens pour illustrer le travail des enfants sur les blogs, c’est à dire à travers des films , des diaporamas et des bandes dessinées. Nous avons récemment reçu deux prix, récomponsant nos efforts dans l’établissement des rélations internationales avec notre école. Tout d’abord en juin, le Scottish Education International Award et en octobre, le prix “Woodhill Made IT Happen”. Pour ceci nous sommes allés avec deux enfants du projet Passeport Santé au Parlement de Westminster à Londres. C’était une journée extraordinaire!

We hope you enjoy our award winning powerpoint presentation.

Our Chinese Dancers

Woodhill Primary were once again invited to St George's School in Edinburgh to participate in their day of celebrating links with China.

Seven children were invited to learn and present a Chinese Ribbon Dance, taught by a Chinese dance teacher called Annie Au.

The children learned the dance over five sessions and then presented it to the guests visiting the school in Edinburgh.

Our pupils enjoyed participating in this event and meeting children from other schools.

Merry Christmas from Primary 1

Our Primary 1 children would like to wish all our International friends around the world a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
To do this they have recorded several of the Nativity songs they sang at their Christmas Assembly. We hope you enjoy listening to them.

Knock, knock ( Mary and Joseph)

Knock, knock, knock at the door
Knock, knock, is anyone there?
Knock, knock, knock at the door,
We need a place to stay. (Repeat)

Three rooms left,
All the other rooms are full.
Three rooms left,
Sorry that is all!(Repeat)

Two rooms left,
All the other rooms are full
Two rooms left,
Sorry that is all!

One room left,
All the other rooms are full
One room left
Sorry that is all!

No rooms left,
There's no rooms for you at all.
No rooms left
We're completely full!

We also sang another song called Hallelujah .
We hope you like it too.

Tonight

Tonight

Little town of Bethlehem
Watch the starry sky.
You will see amazing things
On this special night.

Tonight, tonight,
Wonderful things will happen.
Tonight, tonight,
Wonderful things you'll see.

Little town of Bethlehem
Hear the joyful news.
God has planned a great event,
he has chosen you.

The Innkeeper's Song

The Innkeeper

My life is getting very very busy.
My house is very,very full.
We've all been getting in a 'tizzy',
We've not got any room at all.

Everywhere around me
Visitors surround me,
Happy to have found a place to stay.
All the girls and boys are
Making such a noise
They're getting in my way! ( Hey!)

Woodhill Primary Wins Technology Challenge

We are delighted not only to have won the Scottish award for the prestigious UK- wide technology competition" Make IT Happen", but also won first prize for the United Kingdom.
The competion recognises primary school technology projects led by nine - eleven year olds which are helping the school or local community.
We at Woodhill wanted to integrate technology across the curriculum and use it to establish links with other schools in Scotland and abroad.
We encouraged students to develop podcasts and blogs which could be used as learning materials.
Material was created to support French and English lessons as well as wider issues such as health and globalisation. Parents were given information about the blogs and encouraged to view the information online.
This was also shared with partner schools in Scotland , England, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic and China.
We were invited to London in October to receive our £3500 prize from the Speaker of the House of Commons at a special awards ceremony with MPs in Westminster.
