Today, P5/6 were issued with a Scottish poem that we read over carefully and discussed in class. Your child should have brought this home, as it needs to be learned for early next week, when we will have a competition to see who can represent the class at next week’s Burns Supper that P5/6 will be leading. The Burns Supper will be on Thursday 26th January, so we will be rehearsing this week to see who will have the responsibility of either leading the Burns Supper, or delivering some of the speeches.
I am looking for enthusiastic delivery of the poetry homework, and good pronunciation and clarity for the roles that will be available.
I can present a bit about Christmas in other European countries, showing the differences that exist in different cultures.
Well done to the class themselves, who did all the planning and presenting, with only a tiny bit of help from me!

Last Friday, P5/6 worked on a passage about the Braer oil disaster which occurred in January 1993. We were concentrating on trying to write fluently and quickly, as well as finding out a bit about what actually happened.
This led us nicely into drama, where we set out in small groups to discuss how we could recreate the disaster through mime alone, without using any words!
Finally we gave a demonstration of each group’s work to the class.
-
- Before the ship runs aground, the crew sleep!
-
- What’s happening?
-
- Goodness, that sea is rough!
-
- Is that water coming in?
-
- Are you OK?
-
- I’m trying desperately to control the ship here, but it’s no use!
-
- Help!
-
- Hang on!
-
- Are you OK? Can you phone for help?
-
- Can anyone hear us? We are adrift, losing power fast!
-
- Oh no, she’s hurt!
-
- Is that a helicopter?
-
- We’re over here! Help!
-
- I’m still trying to get through to someone!
-
- Hang on- this is getting really serious!
-
- The crew are injured!
-
- Will we ever get out of this?
-
- These seas are mountainous!
Earlier today, the whole class worked collaboratively to produce a short and very scary story… Click the link to listen to it and see if you can work out which piece your child contributed to the overall story! 
On Wednesday p5/6 created a whole class spooky Halloween story. We did it in our tables making different sentences. We all had to think of one or two sentences to add in to the story. Once we had thought of our sentences Mr Purves recorded them. Once all the tables finished their part of the story we got to listen to the class story. We all thought that our class story was very good and would scare adults easily! All the class thought that this challenge was very good fun and would love to do it near Hallowe’en again!
