A wee video of some of the things we have been up to lately. Please click on the link below and we would love if you left a comment!
We practised posting our own comments in our ICT lesson today.
A busy afternoon.
This afternoon Mr Tollerton visited our class. Mr Tollerton was the Headteacher at Warddykes before Miss Deans. He now works with the education department at Arbroath Abbey.
He reminded us that not everyone could read and write in the past. We had already learned that Monks were amongst those who did learn to read and write – and that they spent a lot of time practising – just like we do at school!
He showed us how to make a seal like the ones that were used to fasten letters long ago. They would be made of wax and embossed with a picture. We made ours from plasticene! We had a really enjoyable afternoon and Stanley was interested in learning something more about life in the past in Arbroath.
Flat Stanley has his own blog!
Flat Stanley is staying with Elidh this weekend but he telephoned me last night (I think he sneaked to the telephone while she was asleep) to tell me he thought he should have his own blog! He would like to put all his pictures and adventures in his own pages. I thought this was a really good idea so here is the link for Stanley’s blog:
https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/an/FlatStanleyandtheP3SSuperstars/
We will move Stanley’s adventures over to his blog and keep our blog free for the other things that we will be doing in class.

Flat Stanley Visits Arbroath Abbey
Flat Stanley is visiting our class. He arrived in an envelope last week, together with a copy of his book explaining how he became flat. The book was written by an author called Jeff Brown. Flat Stanley had written us a letter explaining that he wants to find out more about where we live. We are all taking him home so that he can get to know us better.
On Friday, 27th August we took Flat Stanley to Arbroath Abbey. Arbroath Abbey is an important landmark in Arbroath and very famous in Scottish History because of its association with the Scottish Declaration of Independence. You can find out more at these websites:

We dressed up as Monks and Brother Andrew paid us a visit from the past and told us what life was like in the Abbey more than 800 years ago.
