Stop animation and green screen – The Great War

Here is a short video of some of the P5-7 boy’s work. They were animating a scene from the Great War using stop animation and green screening technology, well done.

School Trip to Caerlaverock Wetland Centre

Here are some pictures from today’s trip to the Caerlaverock Wetland Centre. Despite a grey start to the day the weather was fine and we managed to spot lots of birds including a little egret.

Mrs Davis Leaving Assembly

Here is a video with some parts of Mrs Davis’s Leaving Assembly. Good luck Mrs Davis and thanks for your efforts.

Easter Holiday

We’re into the second week of the holidays now and I hope everyone is having a good break.

Here are some ideas if you would like a little project to work on:

Illustrate/learn/animate/rewrite the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
Do a spring science project.
Find out about the wildlife around where you live and make a poster.
Make or do something about Easter.
Otherwise do something of your choosing

Any work can be presented on the first week back.

Enjoy the rest of your break.

The eclipse

We were out for the eclipse on Friday and managed to experience how it got cooler and darker. Thanks to Mr Davies for some of these lovely pictures.

Our P4-7 pupils took part in the annual Cross Country Competition at Lochmaben. All did their best and represented the school well. We also managed to win some medals and trophies, well done to:
P4/5 Small Schools girls first place, Sarah
P4/5 Small Schools girls team first place, Sarah, Molly and Aiva
P4/5 Small Schools boys team first place, James C, Douglas and Daniel
P6/7 Small Schools girls first place, Emily
P6/7 Small Schools boys second and third place Adam and Mark
P6/7 Small Schools girls team first place, Emily, Saskia and Anya
P6/7 Small Schools boys team first place, Adam, Mark and James M

Emily also received a shield for Most Meritorious Performance, which is the second time a pupil from this school has been awarded the prize. Very well done.

The pupils did well due to the hard work they put in during preparation and learned a valuable lesson in life: effort during preparation = results.

Thanks to Mrs Mannall, Mrs Foster and the team for another well ran event.

There are some lovely pictures on Annandale & Eskdale Active School and Community Facebook page here.
