Visit to Museum for Ancient Egyptian Exhibition November 22, 2007
Posted by West Barns P4/5 Student in : Uncategorized , add a commentToday we went to the Museum of scotland to see the Ancient Egyptians exhibition. We got into three groups, in one of the groups you got to handle REAL Egyptian artefacts and we got to dress up in Eygptian clothes. The other two groups were to fill in worksheets about the displays. At 12 o clock we had our lunch. After lunch we got to go to the gift shop and after that we got to play in the science room. BYE for now FROM EWAN AND VANESSA

Just a note to say how proud I was of your great effort for Children in Need. The bucket of loose change almost broke my arm, it was so heavy!
I think we’ve raised over £144 as a school, which is fantastic.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone.
From Jane Peterson.

We split up into groups - one table had real musical instruments, one table had our instruments, another had different sounds and vibrations & one more had to make a sound from bottles.

All of P4/5 will be going along to Dunbar Grammar on Wednesday 14th November, to take part in a basketball festival with other schools in the Dunbar cluster. Stephen Duff(basketball development officer) visited the class a few weeks ago to go over some of the basic skills required, which we’ve been practising in our Monday gym lessons. Children should bring along their indoor kit as usual.
