Great excitement this week as we progressed to the top of the slope and got to use the travelator. Mrs Hosie joined Mrs Ross this week and she was very impressed by everyone’s skills.
Meanwhile our “professionals” were impressing us all with their skills on the big slope! They were performing 360 turns! Hopefully they sleep well tonight!
The afternoon was finished off with a little bit of tubing and Mrs Ross and Mrs Hosie joined in too. I’m sure all the parents heard their screams back in Fenwick !
To round off our Scottish Myths and Legends topic, and now that we have finished reading the novel, we will be watching The Water Horse on Friday 24th February.
We will be completeing work to analyse the differences between the novel and the film.
This film is rated PG, if you do not wish your child to watch the film then please contact the school office before Friday morning.
Well done to everyone in Primary 5/6 who entered the Scottish Poetry Recital competition. Everyone performed with confidence to the class and it was so difficult to choose our 3 finalists.
Today the whole school enjoyed listening to the finalists from each class, I was so proud of our 3 class entrants who were so expressive and showed such self confidence. Norah was chosen as our overall class winner! 👏🏻 well done to Layla and Harriet who were runners up.
Today in P5/6 Mrs Ross put her feet up and 2 pupils took over the teaching in class.
We have been learning about LGBT+ during our UNCRC Article of the week activities and we learned all about the origins of the Pride Flag and that the flag represents Equality, Pride, Hope and Love.
One very confident Primary 6 shared their understanding ond knowledge of the different rainbow flags and taught us all about respecting, celebrating and supporting our differences.
We then learned all about NATO and what nations are included in this alliance. We answered a quiz that tested our understanding of what we had been taught.
We all agreed that Mrs Ross better watch out ! There are some fabulous teachers in P5/6 !
Today we used lots of new skills to make some Scottish shortbread in class.
We then took our learning outdoors and used the Ghillie kettles to make hot chocolate . We sat around the fire and sang our Scottish songs and recited Scottish poetry while eating our shortbread and drinking hot chocolate .
We rounded off our Scottish themed day with some play in the garden.
We will be taking our learning outdoors tomorrow afternoon and eating the shortbread that we have baked in class and making hotchocolate with the ghilie kettlles . We will practise our scottish poetry and songs around the camp fire.
Please bring your wellies to school , if you have any, and wrap up warm for outdoors.
