African Art March 21, 2008
Posted by Mrs Roy in : P5, Uncategorized , 5comments
Having just finished our project on Africa, we created a huge African-style pattern using brightly coloured paints. We worked in pairs to design and paint them which meant we had to use our team work skills.
We looked at African clothes for ideas and to make sure our patterns were as African-looking as they could be.
It is on display outside our classroom so let us know what you think!
Ready For Take Off - P3’s Trip To See Concorde March 10, 2008
Posted by kcolver in : P3 , 6commentsIt was a wet and windy Monday when Primary 3 jetted off to East Fortune for our outing to The Museum of Flight. We had great fun listening to Robert the storyteller. He told us all about the history of transport. We were fascinated by the story of Icarus and his wax wings. Some of us got to practise our miming skills. We helped Robert to act out a horse and cart, canoeing, an old motor car and an early aeroplane. We also got to make and test our own aeroplanes. Unfortunately they were only made of paper. The highlight of our trip was our visit to Concorde. We were amazed by how narrow it was inside and how many buttons there were in the cockpit.
P7 WW2 Topic & Campie Wireless Radio March 10, 2008
Posted by Miss Collins in : P7 , add a commentThroughout January and February Primary 7 produced some fantastic and varied work on WW2. In the coming week we’ll be adding photos and examples of artwork and written work.
As part of this topic, P7b put everything they had learned about propaganda, rationing, conscription, evacuations, women at war, allies and battles into short ‘wireless’-style podcasts. There are some great accents in this one from the Queen’s English to French!

World Book Day - P3 March 8, 2008
Posted by kcolver in : P3 , add a commentWe had great fun on World Book day. Many of the children dressed up as their favourite characters from books. There was an extra teacher in P3A - Professor McGonigle who was not at all impressed with her pupil’s (Harry Potter) attempts at transfiguration! Milly Molly Mandy and Clarice Bean were very well behaved - perhaps due to the presence of a police officer (from the Cops and Robbers book by Allan Ahlberg). There was also an element of glamour and sparkle with Cinderella, Beauty and Ruby the red fairy!! We were all afraid of the terrifying pirate but she was very careful with her hooked hand and we all escaped safely at the end of the day!
In 3B there were some worried looks as Horrid Henry swaggered in beside Robin Hood. There was also a very frightening looking pirate and the wrestler John Cena. The bouncy cheerleaders from High School Musical managed to keep the caveman under control and the monster (from Scooby Doo) and the skeleton were not any trouble!!
We all got together with the P4’s for some buddy reading and it was great fun sharing our books. At the end of the day we held an assembly so we could see the wonderful outfits and enjoy hearing about some of the fantastic characters in our favourite books. It was lots of fun!!
P4’s World Book Day March 8, 2008
Posted by kcolver in : P4 , add a commentP4 had a super World Book Day. Lots of the children dressed up and we were very concerned by the appearance of not one, but two Tracey Beakers!! Luckily they seemed calm and liked the positive attention so there were no strops or hissy fits. We were also amazed to see that Harry Potter was here too, after spotting him in a P3 class! Still it’s amazing what a little magic can do. I know a few teachers who would love to manage being in two places at once!!
The Worst Witch managed not to turn anyone into a frog, although we think she must have cast some kind of spell in P4A as there were two Mrs. Pepperpots!! The pirate theme continued with a very scarred and frightening looking Pirate Captain. We kept a close eye on George ( from George’s Marvellous Medicine) at lunchtime, just in case he developed any new shrinking or growing potions.
The Tiara Princess added some much needed glamour to the occasion, as did Chloe from Bratz and Gabrielle from High School Musical. The teachers were all very anxious to see Dennis the Menace at school and were seen checking the corridors for any sign of Gnasher. Luckily there was no sign of him and The Football Machine did not need to worry that his football would be spoilt.
Overall it was a great day as the children had fun and really enjoyed their buddy reading with the primary threes.

World Book Day - P5B March 7, 2008
Posted by Mrs Roy in : P5 , 3commentsThursday 6th March was World Book Day. Our class decided to celebrate it by dresseing up as our favourite characters from our favourite books. We also brought in our favourite books and shared them with others in the class. We brought in lots of different books, from long novels to comics.
We have started reading a class novel called Holes. Part of our work on Thursday was to design a new front cover for the book, based on what we know about the story so far. Look out for some of them on our website!
At the end of the day we were each given a book token which we will use towards buying a book to read at home.
We had a really good day!
