All primary 5 classes shared the books they have been making over the past few months with their parents in an open afternoon in which they heard from their children all about the process. It was a great success and there was a buzz in the air. What an achievement. Parents and pupils will hopefully share their views and experiences here,
Homecoming Scotland 2009 is a programme celebrating Scotland’s great contributions to the world. It is a celebration of the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns’ birth, Scottish contributions, plus our great minds and innovations and rich culture and heritage.
The middle area are having a Scots Afternoon as part of their planned celebrations and primary 5 have been learning Scottish poems. Some of them have been recited here. Please listen and let us know what you thought of them..

Crying crowds coming from California
Singers singing all about
Pushy parents dashing for their children
People pushing, people screaming
Famous friends sing for them
Rock and Rolling all around
People coming coolly then crying
Cheering and chewing happily
Scream and shout as he came out
Obama speaks his speech for the USA
People yelling, people yapping
for President Obama
Guide giver
Sun seer
Bright burner
Sky lighter

Dust exploder
Five pupils in primary five formed a band at home and have been practising hard for their first gig in front of an audience which went ahead as planned at the end of last term. They played the guitar, electronic drums and synthesiser to 100 P5 children, singing a variety of christmas tunes. What an achievement and we all wish them every success!
