Go Trinidad and Tobago!

Yesterday at our Olympic Opening Ceremony we were waving our Trinidad and Tobago flags and we had a listen to the National Anthem. We will hopefully have a chance to email schools out there to find out what life is like on the other side of the world!

Dunbar Primary School P6 Euro Presentations

Pupils in P6 at Dunbar Primary School have been sharing their learning about the European Union. Working in pairs they have been doing presentations on a chosen member state without the use of ICT!!!!!!!!!!! So we have enjoyed interviews, dramas, quizzes and more. The children have been very imaginative and have been well supported by their helpful parents…..and even with lovely Polish rye bread provided by Dunbar Community Bakery! Thanks to all for their hard work!

Orienteering

Yesterday, 32 pupils from P6 joined over 200 children from all over East Lothian to take part in an orienteering competition.

Our team did wonderfully and well done to Fraser Kelly who was our fastest P6 competitor.

Yester Primary School were very hard to beat and achieved a wonderful double, in winning both the P4/5 trophy and the P6/7 trophy.

The Battle of Culloden

P6 went out onto our (windy) field to re-enact the infamous Battle of Culloden. Our highland charge was enough to give any poor visitors a real fright :)
