Mythical Creatures of Scotland

The P6’s are learning about some of Scotland’s myths and legends. The P6’s will be sharing some of them. This will become a series that will last for 7 weeks.

This week it’s Kelpies!!

A Kelpie is a beautiful stallion. But when you get on its back you are stuck. You cannot get off it and the horse will drag you down to the bottom of the lochs or seas and drown you. They are usually black and their mane is wet. The only way to control it is to take and keep it’s bridle. In one video that P6’s have watched is that there was a man that took a picture and he sat on a kelpie, drowned and he was not on the picture, his soul was gone forever. The Kelpie would appear as a tame pony. Never touch or ride a Kelpie!

Beach Clean

On Wednesday 10th May P4F and P4C were doing a beach clean. When we were there we found lots of different things including  plastic bottles, rope, wire, polystyrene and even crisp packets! Mostly everyone went on the gigantic rocks! In the holes between the rocks there was lots of rubbish! We filled 23 black bags full of rubbish. Seven adults came along to help us I think they worked really hard!

After the beach clean we all made sand sculptures in the style of Andy Goldsworthy. There were lots of different shapes and pictures.

 

Our message to everyone visiting the beach – remember to always take your rubbish with you!

People Who Help Us!

In primary 1 we are learning about people who help us.  Safer Strangers are people who help us like the police, paramedics, doctors and fire people.  We can tell who they are because they wear uniform and badges.

Calling all Environmentalists!

Primary 4 are planning to do their bit to help our local environment on Wednesday 10th May!  We are going to be going to the section of beach behind the Signal Tower to take part in a beach clean between 9.30 and 11.30.

We are looking for any parents, carers or friend’s of the school to come along and help us.  We have ordered extra litter pickers in the hope of volunteers attending.

Interested?  Please contact the school or leave a comment to let us know you will be joining us.

Thanks in advance!
