On the first of March 2017 primary five to seven are going to Stranroard on our residential trip!! Everyone is really exited in going and we are going to be doing a full day walk, orienteering, mountain biking and maybe some climbing.

Badminton club has now sadly come to an end:-( !!! But today the competition is on! we will be representing our school in the Badminton competition at Maxwellton High school. Most of the primary sixes and sevens are going. There will be a hit about in the hall at four o clock and then they head to the competition at half past four and at half past five they will be waiting at school for their parents to pick them up.

Starting today is the drama club!! So many people wanted to go that they had to put all the names in a bag and pull them out!

In music with Mr Riddick we are learning the five songs of Tam O Shanter! We are going to be performing at Lochside primary school with the Glasgow opera club!

Just now in writing we are writing about the Egyptian Pyramids animated short film in our three groups.

We have now switched from our old books to our new books in reading! Georgia and her group are reading a book called the iron man and Kaylan and her group are reading a book called Kensukes kingdom

In art we are finishing off our Islamic tiles.

In IDL (topic) we are doing our weather project we had to pick a country and research on its weather. Kaylans is doing Nepal and Georgia’s is doing Georgia.

On news round we saw people wearing slippers in class. Some people think they would like to wear them but some don’t. My opinion is if you don’t have slippers you could wear the gripper socks.

On newsround there was children wearing slippers in class. My opinion is that I would like to wear them as they would be comfy. Kye would not like to wear them incase of a fire drill when he thinks he would get wet feet.

Today were watching news round and we heard that one school are wearing slippers and this what we think Dakota sais it wold be good  and Georgia sais the same thing

 

 

 

by Dakota and Georgia

There is a school in England that lets pupils were slippers because research says that it makes you concentrate

sonny is in raged with idea  of slippers in class because he generally hate slippers

Ebony thinks you might get something stuck in the bottom of the because there soft

I think its a great idea and it should be in every school.

Today we were watching news round and at a school the boys and girls were wearing slippers most of the boys and girls said it was a good idea

 

by Gavin D

We have been debating if we should have slippers at school! We got put in groups to decide if we should have slippers or not at school!

There where  negative, positive, questions the most we got was 8 positive and 0 questions, 4 negatives!

We think it is good to wear slippers!

what do people think about slippers !!!

Thomas, Merissa

 

 

In Newsround today one of the Newsround staff went into a school and they were all wearing………..SLIPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!

After we watched Newsround we all turned round and looked at Mrs Dale. She looked back at us and was like what?

After that we did a debate! Here is our positives:

• It helps if you are stressed in class
• You could swap slippers for a day
• gives you something soft on your feet instead of stiff shoes
• Not hard on your feet
• doesn’t give you sore ankles and toes
• easy to put on so you are not late for class
• Easier to find than indoor shoes
• Toes space

we think that wearing slippers would be awesome!

Merissa: Really fantastic and good

Thomas: Slippers are good

Charlie D: I don’t like them because they are slippy and you could step on a nail

Cameron: Yesssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dylan: I don’t like them
