Today we took part in a whole School Teams Call with the author Richard O’Neill. We learned how he plans his stories and publishes his books. He shared lots of the stories that he has written and let us ask lots of questions about becoming an author. 

World Book Day
Amazing effort in primary 7 today! Fantastic costumes and most importantly, lots of books and reading!

We had loads of fun leading our houses in World Book Day activities across the school. Well done to Dunlop who won the book treasure hunt and Fowlds who won the WBD Kahoot quiz.

We were delighted to welcome Mr Borland to class this week to hear him recite Tam O’Shanter and The Address to the Haggis. We loved listening to him perform and he then listened to our performances ahead of our Burns Supper on Friday. He was so impressed with us all and give us a couple of hints and tips to improve our performances.
We are looking forward to Mr Borland being one of the judges at our poetry competition next week.


We have used the cut willow in our garden to try our hands at willow weaving. We have been practising this skill over the last two afternoons and are very proud of the willow wreaths that we have created to sell at the Christmas Fayre. Here is a sneak preview of what we will be selling after we add some Christmas touches.



On Thursday we entered 2Primary 7 teams in the East Ayrshire Schools Cross Country Competition. We were very proud of our super ambitious runners! They ran 1400m with determination and speed. Well done to them all! There were some busy washing machines after this muddy event!



We had so much spooky fun today in class and at our party.



Tennis
We have enjoyed improving our tennis skills in Primary 7. This week we have been working on rallies and scoring.
