Montana’s slideshow on PhotoPeach

We’ve been having great fun in our class making halloween lanterns.  We cut the tops off the pumpkins and scooped out the seeds.  We might try roasting the seeds, we are told that they are very tasty.  Some of us have hamsters.  They love to eat pumpkin seeds.  Our hands got messy and the whole classroom smelt of pumpkin!

my class went on a walk and montana and jake and Euan wurr taicking photpos of the pond  cameron and thomas.

everyone is so excited about halloween and our halloween party tonite. our class has been making punkin faces and we have scooping guts out of our poor unfortunit orange guests.everything about our party is a secret until we all arive dressed as spookey characters or just fun costumes that we enjoy wearing

Today the police visited our class to give us some important messages about firework safety. 

PC Hughes reminded us of the Firework Code.

Light sparklers one at a time and wear gloves.

Never give sparklers to a child under five.

Buy fireworks marked BS7114.

Keep fireworks in a closed box.

Follow the instructions on each firework.

Light them at arm’s length using a taper.

Stand well back.

Never go back to a lit firework.

Never put fireworks in your pocket.

Never throw fireworks.

Keep pets indoors.

In our class we know that we should be supervised by a responsible adult around fireworks.  We want to enjoy them but need to keep safe.

 p4/5 went on an Autumn walk. We had to find 4 differrent shapes of leaves. We  walked down to the pond near the sea.We worked  in partners & we dressed properly.We had hot chotolate & some had tea . We did some sketching of the view from the sea wall.  I drew the bass rock with the sea and the houses including Belhaven Church.  When we got back to class we used our sketches to make some paintings. We had great fun on our walk paiting & everything else.

We are doing a Burgh topic. A Burgh is a town or city like Edinburgh and musselburgh .we are having lots of fun.

We are making a cardboard burgh.its so cool.

There is a main street and a back lane and a castle.the castle is at one end of the main street in the middle of the burgh there is a well and a dirty waste hole next to it.there is a big cross in the middle aswell.The long narrowplots on which houses stood were known as lofts or rigs.the land was divided into long plots nown as burbage plots.the burbage plotswere laid out by people called liners.The layout of the burgh depended on the geographyof the area.For example if a settlement had formed beside a castle or monestery on a hill,or round the base of the hill.

charters giving burgh status were usually granted to settlements wich already existed. once burgh status was granted this led to the formal laying out of the burgh.In scotland the burgh usually consisted of one single street with a back lane runing behind.houses were bilt on the part of the plot nearest the main street. The area behind,is known as the backland.
