When we got back from the beach we started to make our collages of the view from our classroom. The next day in the afternoon we did our collages again and by the next week or so our poicturs where finished. Our collages have shells and wood and things got from the beech. They will be showing them at a show at Dunbar High School in June.

Posted by jpeterson in : Uncategorized , add a commentThis week we are starting a topic on dinosaurs. Here are some examples. T-rex,Brachiosaurus and Triceratops. Also P5/6 have been playing football on Fridays with the SFA coaches. We have a new class member called Caitlynn, and we hope she is feeling settled in class. We also cleaned the hedge of our litter as part of Eco-week. On Friday the Countryside rangers visited the school to tell us how important eco-systems are……and finally we moved the seats.

PC Tait and PC Gunn called in to talk to us this morning. The class were keen to know more about their role in the community and the discussion centred on theft. Afterwards the police showed the children their protective gear and equipment. Here’s an unusual model wearing the kevlar stab vest!

No really - this is now P5/6! October 1, 2008
Posted by jpeterson in : Uncategorized , 1 comment so farDear All,
Yes this is still your own class website, now run by P5/6, Mr Johnston and Mrs Peterson.
We’ve had lots of wonderful improvements to our school ICT systems since the summer, but there’s an unfortunate side effect, which means we can’t change the class blog to a new name until some ICT superman comes round from Haddington to help us.
Also a few teething problems getting our photos on the blog, but don’t worry, your hard-working teachers are on the job!
We need this blog back on track! Don’t be slow to come forward with news to post!
From Mrs Peterson.
