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.
