Posted by Steve Wood in : Games , add a commentWe are coming home October 10, 2008
Posted by Steve Wood in : Uncategorized , 2commentsIn 45 minutes we will be on the road back to Musselburgh. What a great week we have had. Most of us are walking around like zombies as we are all so tired. Everyone is currently stripping their beds and packing their bags - i’m just about to go and do a room inspection, I will probably need a face mask and gloves, but you never know. Anyway thanks to all of you have looked at the website and commented, I have tried to pass on your messages, however I have had to rely on memory as we dont have a printer or big screen here. After the holidays we will display more photos.
See you soon

Anti-bullying, perfect posters October 9, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : P4, P6 , add a commentYesterday P4B and P6B came together once again to create their final competition poster. There was paint, paper, feathers, glue and lots of discussion. The biggest challenge was the time element. With only one hour to complete the task the pressure was on.
Most of the teams managed to complete their poster with seconds to spare, others didn’t quite make it. But great fun was had by all and everyone felt proud of what they had achieved. The finished posters will be sent off tomorrow to be judged in the national competition. The top prize is MP3 players so we’ll keep our fingers crossed!
It’s been a great start to our collaborative anti-bullying project, and super for everyone to get to know each other. Thanks to everyone for all their enthusiasm and hard work.

Anti Bullying Competition Work October 7, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : P4, P6, Uncategorized , 1 comment so farToday saw the start of a beautiful friendship between P4b and P6b! Our classes came together to start work on the theme of bullying.
National Anti-Bullying Week 2008 is 17 - 23 November, and the website respectme and the Scottish Government have joined forces to launch an anti-bullying competition, based around the theme, ‘what bullying means to me’.
The children from P4 and P6 have started working on entries for this competition today. Each P4 is working with a P6 partner, and we started by sharing ideas about what forms bullying can take. The poster that the P6s designed last year came in really handy as it gave us the categories of Physical, Verbal, Emotional and Cyberbullying. We also discussed how these types of bullying make a person feel inside. This helped us to brainstorm ideas for what bullying means to us, and then how we can show that in a poster for the competition.
Listening to Learn - Learning to Listen October 7, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : Uncategorized , add a commentIn Campie this year we are all working on our listening skills, as you will have seen from the wonderful leaflets that the children designed and sent home. The whole school is involved and will be learning to listen in different ways all year.
For example, P6b have been focusing on listening to people in conversation. We came up with guidelines for good listening in conversations and practiced them in talking partners.
Lagganlia Update October 6, 2008
Posted by Steve Wood in : Events, P7 , 21comments| October 6, 2008 | to | October 10, 2008 |
We have had a great day and everybody is buzzing and looking forward to the rest of the week. The journey was long- we arrived at 1.01pm, but well worth it. The trip on the bus was a smooth one, hardly anybody felt ill.
On arrival groups were quickly out and about doing their one activity of the afternoon - mountain biking, orienteering, ropes course and tree climbing. After that the children made their own beds, although some are still to be made!
Everyone has been fed, tonights menu was lentil soup, pasta bolognaise and chocolate crispy cake (double cream optional). currently the children are out in the woods kitted out in helmets and goggles doing the nightline course.
Tomorrow I will get some children to write and hopefully we will have some photos of them in action.
