EuroQuiz2016. By Elyze Nadler

On Wednesday 24th of February 2016 some students (Ilya, Daniel Dotan, Abi , Elyze and Hannah, who was a reserve took part in the Euroquiz2016. There were 4 rounds and they were ‘Geography’, ‘Languages’, European Union and ‘History and Sport’.

We zoomed through each round getting only about 5 or 6 wrong in each round. Our best round was probably the EU round as we only got 4 questions wrong out of 15.

At the end, the winning school was Mearns Primary with 51 out of 60. Our score was pretty good too, it was 32 out of 60 that was 6th place. It doesn’t matter that we didn’t win, it’s the taking part that counts and we had a great time 🙂

Ken Macintosh visit. By Rachel McGhie

On Monday 21st of December to finish our E.U topic, Miss Orchant asked our M.S.P Ken Macintosh to come and talk to our class about politics. At the end of the talk Miss Orchant asked us if we liked the conversation we had with Mr Macintosh and everyone said they loved it! I really liked that Mr Macintosh gave everyone a fair say and everyone got the chance to ask him questions.

Mr Macintosh made a joke and said that Elyze and Izzy could run for M.S.P and that they could decide which organisations to give lots of money to. They said if they were given a million pounds and had to choose between cancer research and education, they would split the money and give half to each organisation.  Mr Macintosh said he would do the exact same thing.

Swimming and European Union quiz. By Lana Tiefenbrun

On Thursday this week we had our last day of swimming and it was so much fun! For about half an hour we did normal swimming and then for the rest of the time we were allowed to go in the shallow pool and play with the floats, balls and rubber rings. On Wednesday we did a quiz about the European Union. Everyone either got full marks or only one wrong so we all did really well. We had a quiz because we have now finished our European Union topic and I look forward to our next topic.

European Union and Chanukah class party. By Oliver Tomkins

This week we made leaflets for different countries that we were given in our EU topic, my country was Spain. We have been doing a lot of research on our countries and we used this information in our leaflets. We were also allowed to use colours and stick pictures in that we had got from the internet. We decided that one of our Success Criteria should be that we can talk about our country and explain our leaflet, so Miss Orchant picked lollypop sticks out of a cup and the person that got chosen explained and read their leaflet out to the class.

Another thing we did this week was have a party because it is Chanukah! The day of the party we got to dress in party clothes instead of school uniform and each class voted on the type of  party they wanted to have. We voted on a pyjama party and during the pyjama party we got to watch a movie and eat popcorn and crisps. When it was time to have the party not all of us had popcorn but luckily Pippa’s mum brought in great big bags of it so we could all have some. The next thing we did was have a vote on what movie we were going to watch and we ended up watching Ice Age 2.
