Everyone is really enjoying the rehearsals for the Cinderella Rockerfella Pantomime and we can’t wait to perform infront of an audience. All we need to do is practice a little more to ensure we all know our lines and come in at the right time. The scenery crew are working hard on the backdrop and the props. We are all very excited about performing on the 19th of December to family and friends.
Here is a sneek preview of the ugly sisters practicing their routine.
Last week Theatre Modo has been in to help the whole school learn to do creative things like paintings, drama, dance routines and songs for our Golden Jubilee which is 60’s themed. P6/7 has been making Andy Warhol flags. Andy Warhol was a famous artist in the 60’s. He was famous for his style of art which was pop art. He designed the famous and colourful portrait of Marilyn Monroe. We are making portraits of ourselves in the same style as Andy Warhol’s. We drew pictures of ourselves then made stencils and spray painted them onto material. We will be attaching them to a flag pole and doing a routine with them for the jubilee. We are enjoying working with Theatre Modo, and hope that our flags and routine will wow the parents.

On Friday the 23 of March , P6/7 took part in Sport Relief at Ellon Primary School. They helped organise games at lunch time i.e Beat the Goalie, Steal the Bacon , an obstacle course, tennis, golf and a whole lot more. The children also ran a mile with Mr Witt in their PE time and everyone did brilliantly and ran really quickly too! Plus everyone dressed up as their favourite sports person and paid £1 to do this. The children raised £368.11 and were really grateful to everyone for their donations.
Thanks again P6/7.

On Thursday P6 had a visitor from the Scottish Parliament. The lady told us how parliament works using a slide show. We were divided into 6 groups or parties and we had to pick candidates to represent each group. There was an Animal Welfare Party, a Computer Party, a Music Party, a Save the Earth Party, a School Party and a Sporty Party. The leader had to say a speech about their group. Using a ballot paper we had to vote for the group we liked best. We also learnt about debating. We were debating if we should or should not have school uniform. We decided we should. We all had lots of fun.

Miss Jamieson’s, P6/7 class had a debate over whether homework is vital for a child’s education or not. Half of the class were in the pros team which were the team trying to keep homework. The other half were in the cons team which were the team trying to get rid of homework.
We had 4 pieces of card that said yes, no, abstain and request to speak. We gathered around the biggest table in our class and had a debate. You held your request to speak card when you wanted to speak.
In the end 3 went for abstain they didn’t want to vote
10 went for yes we would like homework
11 went for no, homework is boring.
Although the cons may have won we still get homework.
