Parent Comments

Thank you for getting online and commenting on our BLOG!

Still one of the only blogs where pupils write most of the posts.

Check out our MATHS WORKOUT films which we have just started to post up.

A friend who teaches at Dalbeattie called to say she thinks the films are a great idea. More please!

We are working on it.

Wow! Families Put Together Amazing Machines for Homework

Our February technology challenge was carried out by around 27 families and machines came in all shapes and sizes. Pupils used Lego, Mechano, junk boxes, cardboard, wood and metal to create amazing catapulting machines.

Some machines proved to be small and powerful, others large and complex but all met the brief and fired at our medieval wall.

Using Capital Letters!

I have been reading the posts on the blog and they are very interesting. However, it would be great if pupils would read over their work to correct spelling and CAPITAL letters.

Place names

People’s names

Titles

At the start of a sentence

PLEASE start putting in your capital letters.

Thank you,

Cooking in a Castle

Today in class we tried lots of different meats that would have been eaten by noble men and woman living in castles 500 years ago. We tried rabbit, hare, pheasant, pigeon and deer.

We made flat breads using Jamie Oliver’s recipe…

flat bread recipe

although perhaps a little less salt!

Traditionally flat breads would have been used like a plate except this one could soak up your gravy and you could eat it.

We also tried some fruit chutneys unbelievably these were not as popular as the meats!

Most of the pupils tried out the now rarely eaten foods – pigeon was found to be the favourite.

A big thank you to Mr McKeown for providing the meat for our tasty castle banquet!

Mary Queen Of Scots

Since we came back from the Christmas holiday we have been learning about Mary Queen Of  Scots. We even did a personal project on it, my group did a small play on the execution  of  Mary. People created  posters, models etc. We did not just learn about the execution we learned that when she was 6 days old  she became queen and she was born in 1542, she was married 3 times. She was a widow at 18 and she was cousins with queen Elizabeth of England and she was 5 years old  when she went to France to live . I’m really enjoying this topic.

Well done to Holywood!!

Well done to everyone who donated money for Children in Need and for the Disaster Fund – we raised £100 and £50 will go to each charity. I am sure the money will be put to very good use.

Thank you!!
