Tam o’ Shanter

Tam oShanter” is a narrative poem written by the Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1790, while living in Dumfries.

P5 have created our own story board versions of the famous tale. Have a look!

P5 are very much looking forward to visiting Alloway Burns Centre – the setting of the poem!

MERRY GRINCHMAS!

Positivity!

Today our Health and Well-being lesson was on the power of positivity!

After looking at an inspirational video and quotes we talked about the importance of remembering how special and individual we all are and take pride in even the smallest steps we take towards succeeding in any challenge.

We talked about how sometimes we forget all of our amazing qualities and focus on the things we want to change, however our friends around us can remind us how extraordinary we all are.

 Each person in the class wrote anonymous positivity comments to each other to remind Primary 5A that they sparkle everyday not just on the days that they succeed academically.
