Primary 7 put on a “Scots Performance” for parents on Tuesday 31st January, as part of celebrations for Burn Night.

Parents listened to  Scottish songs, old and new and poems. They were treated to a display of highland dancing and heard scottish music played by violins, flutes and saxophones. Groups of pupils recited scottish poems written by Robert Burns himself, and also more modern poets. Everyone enjoyed the very entertaining “Haggis Dance”. The performance was brought to a dramatic close by a drumming display by Scott Dingwall.

£92 was donated by parents towards a collection for a local charity. P7 pupils will decide shortly which charity to donate it to. Among those that they may choose from are Huntly Area Cancer Support Group, GRAIN and Friends of Jubilee Hospital.

The P7s wil repeat the performance on Wednesday at the Upper Stages assembly.

Many thanks to everyone involved in making the performance a success!

Happy Burns day everyone !!!!!!  this is a poem by Robbie Burns

O my Luve’s like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June:
O my Luve’s like the melodie,
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve!
And fare-thee-weel, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ ’twere ten thousand mile!

Hope you enjoyed the poem !!!!!

All of P5 are learning about Victorians.

So far p5b have learnt a little bit about Queen Victoria and her life.

Queen Victoria was born 1819. She became Queen when she was eighteen.

She was chrisand  Alexzandrina but her family called her Drina.

Queen Victoria married Prince Albert ( who was also her cousin). Victoria and Albert had nine children.

We had a bit of fun and put on a play about Victoria’s coronation. In our play we had a king and Queen of  Spain, a King , Queen and princes of France and some other visitors.

P5B have been making board games with Mrs Irvine.

We have made them with all sorts of things including vinyl and coloured paper. Some Games were 3D.

We had to make instructions on how to play the game, and we also had to use persausive writing to make you feel tempted to buy the game.

When we had finished making the games we each played three games, then we had write about the Pros and Cons of the game so that if they are all going to be made again they would be improved the way the class suggested!!

Now we are trying to decide out what to do with the games. We were thinking about letting Gordon Primary play them then we might have gone to ASDA and/or TESCO but… we ended up just choosing which person in our group would take the gtame home.
