P45 have been researching famous Scottish scientists from the past and creating power points about them. We have lots of famous scientists and engineers who have helped to change the world we live in for the better. We have even made a virtual museum you can visit to find out more about them. Visit the My Museum Glow page to find out more.
All about P1/2 this week
This week we have continued to work hard on our circus topic. Struan, Bronagh, Mirren, Katie and Jasmine are fantastic at hula hooping. Ronan has managed to learn to juggle with two bean bags!
Murray is getting really good at walking the tight rope!
We have been doing loads of rhyming work. We even made our own MTV style nursery rhyme videos! They are fantastic! We planned our costumes and props for the video.
We discovered how to make vokis this week and we all made our own voki to tell our favourite nursery rhyme – check them out on our glow page!
Happy hloidays and happy valentines day! xx

Little Miss Muffet by P1/2
P1/2 wrote their own version of the rhyme Little Miss Muffet. It is so good we thought we would share it with everyone!
Enjoy!
Little Miss Muffet sat on a hill,
Little Miss Muffet caught a chill.
Little Miss Muffet sat on a cat,
Then she realised it was a big fat rat!
Little Miss Muffet sat on a mat,
Then she saw a very fat rat!
Little Miss Muffet sat on a log,
Little Miss Muffet stroked a dog.
Little Miss Muffet sat on a rock,
Little Miss Muffet dropped a sock!
Little Miss Muffet sat on a chair,
Little Miss Muffet brushed her hair.
Little Miss Muffet let off a flare!
speedy sums in P1/2
Today p1/2 had a speed sum quiz. We were all trying to find the answers to adding and take away sums really quickly without using our fingers. We are going to practise speedy sums every day so that we get really quick!
Burns Celebrations
It was a celebration of Robert Burns on 25th January at Port Ellen Primary School. Children had spent weeks learning their poems to recite to the eminent judges on the day, and we couldn’t wait to see who won. We stopped early for lunch, which included the traditional Haggis, neeps and tatties. Mrs Carmichael said the traditional Burns lines over the haggis before it was served.
After lunch we held a ceilidh with parents attending for a dance and a song. Aileas entertained us on the fiddle, and the Highland Dancers were amazingly springy as they danced. The children have all been learning dancing, and it was great to see them dancing with their parents and friends to the Gay Gordans and Canadian Barn dance. The winners of the poetry competition were announced and were Murray in P1,Bronagh in P2, Abbie in P3, Maisie in P4, Ellen in P5, Aileas in P6 and Eilidh in p7. All in all a fantastic celebration of Scottish Culture.

We have been learning about the jobs people do in the circus like the ring master, juggler, tight rope walker, trainer, office workers and acrobat. By Bronagh, Ronan, Jasmine, Kaya, Mirren and Struan
We have been thinking about the skills people doing these jobs need. The ring master needs to be able to speak out loud and he can’t be nervous. He must be organised. By Katie
A juggler has to be good at throwing and catching. By Natalie
A tight rope walker has to be good at balancing and he has to be careful not to fall. By Murray
We have a Big Top in our classroom. We have been playing circus games in it. By Ross
We have dressing up costumnes to wear in our Big Top. Ellie

I was juggling! by Darren
We turned the bench over in the hall and used it as a tight rope. We had to be careful not to fall. It was tricky! by Ruaraidh
