On the 28th of April 2011 Port Ellen Primary had a royal wedding lunch. There was lovely roast beef and bright orange carrots. But my favorite bit was the beautiful chocolate ice cream and chocolate fudge cake, it was great fun.

I went to the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh for the Inspired Get Writing Awards. I was awarded with a special merit which means I was in the top ten. I really enjoyed the day.

To make your own piggy bank you blow up a balloon and cover it in layers of newspaper. Let it dry and paint it and add accessories and you’ll need to make a coin slot.

Lots of exciting things have been happening in P1/2 since Easter. We found a map of The Land Of Me in our classroom and we drew what we thought the places on the map might look like. We then worked together to plan how we could recreate each of these areas within our classroom transforming it into The Land Of Me.
We had to be very organised and collect lots of materials.
We invited our mums and dads to come and help us make The Land Of Me on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Everyone was very excited as we worked together making, painting, building and designing. It was great fun having so many of our mums and dads working with us.
We worked really hard and our classroom looks fantastic! We even have a real forest and a cave which we can play in.
Some of the animals who live in the Land Of Me have come to stay in our class for a wee holiday and want us to teach them all about the wildlife of Islay so we are going to be very busy!
