Our Nativity this year was called ‘The Fleece Force’. We preformed our nativity at the church as part of our Christmas Service, which also included carols and the P5-7 playing Jingle Bells on the Glockenspiels.

Today P3/4 were visited by Hagar the Viking for a Viking Workshop. This session was funded by our parent council (A huge thank you from us all).
We learnt about Viking clothing, food and their gods. We dressed up as Viking and played a Viking game called Molkky. We re-enacted Viking marriages, wearing horned helmets which were only used for important ceremonies. We also re-enacted Viking battles as vikings were also know as raiders and pirates.
Following our session we were presented with a Young Viking Historian Award Certificate.
We are doing well in our IDL topic and have been learning about Viking’s clothing and burials.
Primary 1/2 and Primary 3/4 were fortunate to have a visit from the author Chae Strathie. He is well know for writing: Gorilla Love Vanilla, Dear Dinosaur, Jumblebum and many more.
He read us both Dear Dinosaur and Gorilla Loves Vanilla. We created our own dinosaur made out of food and a Ice Cream Sundae made of many unusual ingredients. Chae also sang a song about wiggly worms.
Everyone had a great time!
Today P3/4 visited Lakehead Farm in Closeburn with RHET. We have been learning about technology in the workplace. Sam, Jess and Amy showed us around the farm. They showed us technology they use to assist with looking after the cows.
Our topic in P3/4 is Vikings So far we have learnt that Vikings invaded countries including the UK. They travelled in long boats and lived in long houses.
Our topic this year so far has been all about Vikings 🗡️
So far we watched an episode about Vikings and then we drew a lot of Viking items and equipment in our topic books. This is our topic front cover.
We have really enjoyed our topic so far and really want to learn new and interesting things about Vikings like how they lived in the Viking times.
