We had a panto and I was a lumberjack. On  Monday panto at the finale we sang Happy Ever Afters and it was
so funny because Matthew Campbell was very excited to go on stage. The song that the Lumberjacks sang was called I am a Lumberjack.

I was a Lumberjack in the panto and I really enjoyed doing it I enjoyed singing the song.

On Thursday 8th December it was very windy, rainy and stormy. Because it was very stormy most of the schools in Scotland had to be closed so our school couldn’t have a panto that night but we are going to have it on Monday instead.
By Emily

In Port Ellen there was a stormy day.It was so windy that all the schools were closed down. At lunch time we had to have our lunch on a paper pleat because the staff have to go home too and the kitchen staff did not want to stay behind and clean the proper pleats.

On Friday it was the panto. My class were dwarves even me, before the panto started P4/5 and P6/7 went to get changed in the nursery. Once we got changed we went through to Miss Macrae’s to get our faces painted.  Then it was time, the panto was on.   First up was scene one which was Aliaes who was Rebecca Riding hood and Violet who was Elidh.  We went back through to the nursery one we had our face paints done ,but not Elidh and Aliaes because they were on stage.  One we went back to the nursery we watched a movie it was Garfield.  By Danni P5

On the 9th of December port Ellen primary performed Rebeca Riding Hood, every one in Port Ellen school had a part. Rebeca Riding hood is about a little girl who goes on an errand to  give her gran some vegetables but the wolf makes her gran  hide  in a cupboard and the wolf  pretends to be grandma but little red riding hood opens the cupboard and finds gran, a wood chopper comes and scares the wolf away but that is not what ours is like, ours  has a twist to it and along the way we get to hear the story of Humptie Dumptie. I’m in primary 4/5 and was a dwarf while we sang big john.  At the end  we all sing as a school happy ever after and if you have tickets we hope you enjoy it tonight.

On Monday P4/5 learned that if you times a number by 10 each number jumps to the left. The same with 100 except it jumps two spaces to the left. There is a trick for multiplying and dividing for the 10 times table you add a 0 and for dividing you take away a 0. We were watching a video about Kjartin Poskitt and his amazing maths.
