Here is a (very) short video of our latest art project (Mrs Stewart forgot to take many photos).

Spelling Superstars 10.6.11
Acrostic Poems
This morning we worked in groups to write an acrostic poem based on the word “light.” Acrostic poems are simple poems in which each the first letter of each line forms a word or phrase (vertically). We chose this word because we are learning about lighthouses and 2011 is the “Year of Light” festival in Arbroath to celebrate the bi-centenary of the Bell Rock Lighthouse.
Once we had written our poems, we had to make a poster with the poem and illustrations and present it to the class. Everyone worked really hard, co-operated well in their groups and did a great job!
Oliver!
We have been rehearsing hard and finally the time has arrived for our school production of “Oliver.”
The Superstars are singing “I’ll Do Anything.” We are all part of Fagin’s gang of pickpockets.
We have two shows on Wednesday and one on Thursday. What a busy week!
Look what we’ve made!
The boys in P3S have been trying to make a lego pyramid for a wee while. Today they finally completed it and asked if they could put a picture on our blog. Here it is….
Getting in Touch with the Techie Kids
One of the blogs that we like looking at is the Techie Kids. They are a school in Michigan, USA. The Techie Kids and their teacher, Mrs Moore, often leave lovely comments on our blog. They are also part of Mrs Leakey’s postcard project.
A short time ago Mrs Moore asked if she could have a copy of the postcard reminder which we had featured on our blog. We finally got around to sending it, along with a copy of Flat Stanley’s guide to Arbroath.
Mrs Moore has posted about it on her blog. You can read about it here.
It is very exciting to see ourselves on someone else’s blog. Thank you Techie Kids! We hope we can keep in touch.
Golden Time in the Sun
We thought we would have a wee party today to celebrate our success in the Education Blog Awards.
As it was such a nice day we decided to go outside and have a picnic on the grass and play some games. It was a lovely afternoon.
Electrical Circuits
We have been learning about electrical circuits this week. Mrs Stewart gave us two batteries, a battery holder, wires and a bulb with a bulb holder. We had to see if we could put them all together to make the bulb light up. We learned that a circuit must form a loop with the wires from the power source in order for it to work properly. We managed it, although the wires were a bit fiddly!
We are going to use our electrical circuits to light up our lighthouse models when we make them.

Sunny Days
We have been taking advantage of the lovely weather to go outside for our P.E. lessons. We have been practising our bat and ball skills.
