Our Chinese Dancers

Click To Play

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.

Tourism in Scotland by Primary 6

We were doing a project about Scotland and we explored tourism in Scotland.
These are some posters we made to encourage tourists to visit Scotland.
Would these make you want to visit our beautiful country?

Primary Seven's Assembly by Caitlin (P5)

Today was our Primary Seven's last assembly. We are really sad to see them go. They talked about their week in Paris and made a power point presentation about their trip! Here are two of the songs that they sang at their assembly. We really liked them, we hope you do too!

(Positive) Attitude, positive attitude.

Attitude, positive attitude.

What helped Columbus cross the sea?
Attitude.
What helped Ford build the Model T?
Attitude.
What helped Beethoven write a tune?
Attitude.
What helped Armstrong walk on the moon?
Attitude.

When you know something that has to be done,
You've gotta go out and do it.
And when you have a positive attitude,
You'll find there's nothing to it.

What helped the Wright Brother's fly their plane?
Attitude.
What helped Gene Kelly sing in the rain?
Attitude.
What helped Doctor King have a dream?
Attitude.
What helped inspire ev'ry winning team?
Attitude.

When you know something that has to be done,
You've gotta go out and do it.
And when you have a positive attitude,
You'll find there's nothing to it.

Attitude, positive attitude.
Attitude, positive attitude.

Song 2
We are the future. We are the now.

People always say, " The children are our future;
The leaders of tomorrow, not today."
But we can make a difference in the here and now
If you listen close to what we have to say.
Chorus:

We are the future.
We are the now.
We are the reason why.
We are the way how.
We have dreams to dream and lives to live.
We have love to share and love to give.
We can do whatever this world will allow.
We are the future.
We are the now.

Children of the world,
we all must work together.
There's no time to hesitate.
Together we can make this world
a brighter place.
We must start right now.
Tomorrow is too late.
(To Chorus)

We are people just like you,
With important things to do.
We don't want to sit and watch the time go by.
We feel sunshine; we feel rain.
We feel happiness and pain.
We can feel success if we're allowed to try.
(To Chorus)

We hope you enjoyed Primary Seven's songs.
We are now looking foward to our summer holidays and we in Woodhill hope that you, all our friends around the world , enjoy your holidays too.
