World Book Day 2015!

Primary 1,2 & 3 had a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.  We used our  design, drawing and cutting skills to make unique hats for the party.

A special guest arrived (who looked suspiciously like  our Head Teacher Mrs Livingstone) and she exclaimed “There is no room!”

“There is plenty of room”, we all replied.

Unbirthday cards were made and not one person was late for a very important date.

When I grow up I want to be……..

Primary 1 have been learning about different jobs and the roles that people play in our community.  From Nurses to Police, Musicians to Librarians………..

Mrs Moffat is a theatre nurse
She told us what happens when you get an operation and you have to go to sleep.
We practised using the breathing tube on the teddy.
Zaid used the stethoscope to listen to Mrs Moffat’s heart.
Skye got dressed as a doctor to perform an operation. You have to scrub your hands and wear a mask, gloves, gown, hat and plastic glasses!
Mrs Moffat told us about how the jags work.
Noah kept the patient breathing with the oxygen mask.

Primary 4 read us their stories and let us see their fantastic illustrations!
P4 are awesome authors!
Bonnie proudly listened to her big brother Lachlan’s story.
