We are on chapter 5 so far and we did lots of activities relating to the book and we are all really enjoying them :D. P6A are also doing the same book but we don’t work together!!!

Primary 6 and 7 will be heading up to Battlehill on Thursday to plant trees. This has been organised by the forestry Commission. More news to follow.
Here are a few examples of some of the very attractive artwork that has been produced around the school.
Mr Baird has worked with P7 to produce very eye catching artwork in the style of Pablo Picasso, while Mrs Wills has been working with P6 to produce beautiful portraits in the style of Cationa Millar. P4s have produced some lovely windmill artwork, as part of their study of Scotland.
Miss Kelly, who taught p4 in the session 2010-2011 (present P6B) is now having a very exciting year teaching in Russia! Here are some photos she has sent. Some are of the very beautiful churches in Russia.
She has started to learn to speak Russian and says that the Russian people are really pleased when she makes an attempt to speak their language to them. If you have a message for Ms Kelly, please let Mrs Sell know, and I will pass it on to her. She will love to hear from you!
This week it was the turn of P5a (Ms Barrerre’s class) and P6b (Mrs Fitzpatrick’s class) to share what they have been learning at the upper stages assembly.
P5B have been studying the BFG by Roald Dahl. They started to think about what giants might eat, and decided they might like brains and bones. They found out many interesting facts about the brain, including how much an adult brain weighs (over a kilo!) and which part of the brain do different jobs. They also found out about bones, such as how many bones in a adults body and the names of different types of bones. They created some lovely artwork about the BFG and found out about the author.
P6 read some exciting pieces of writing they had done over the term including a class collaboration (which we hope to post here soon). They told us about the Health Award they were working towards.
It was very interesting to hear what both classes had been doing.
Primary 6 and 7 are were at Huntly Castle today to take part in a science workshop. More details to follow.
The Huntly Castle Junior Tour Guides have got off to a busy start this session.
They attended a ceilidh in September, wearing their magnificent costumes, and introduced themselves to visitors to Huntly at a ceilidh organised by Huntly Development Trust.
Duncan and Felicity, Emma and Andrea will deliver a public tour at the castle tomorrow.
There are more bookings and tours in the pipeline.
