Ceilidh Dancing

British Isles: Mapping
We have started our new topic this week. Our topic is the British Isles, we will be finding out about the landscapes around the British Isles and how these were formed and how they are used now.
Pupils have created questions about the British Isles which we will explore over the term. These questions included
Are there volcanoes in the British Isles?
What the tallest mountain?
Do sharks live in the British Isles?
Mapping Skills
Our first task was to identify countries, borders, seas and oceans using atlases.
Star Pupils 13th Jan
18th Jan – Our star pupil was chosen for his continuous hard work and his caring and compassion towards friends. 
Sharing our Elf stories
Over the last few weeks Primary 5 have been writing their own stories about elves to share with Primary 1 and Primary 2. They had to consider the audience they were writing for and had to go through the redrafting process. After this they made books and illustrated them.
Once they had completed the book, they had to consider how they were going to read the book to younger children, considering their tone, expression and volume.
Primary 2a were very impressed.
Star Pupil 11th, 18th and 25th Nov
Our star pupils were nominated for their kind nature, excellent behaviour and being responsible citizens throughout the School!
Well done!

P5a will be completing a junk modelling challenge this week on Thursday Afternoon. We are looking for cardboard such as cereal boxes or kitchen roll tubes. Please send any ‘junk’ cardboard to Miss Mckay.
Class Trip FAQs
When are we leaving?
We are leaving as close to 9am as soon as possible.
Can we bring disposable bags?
Yes it’s up to you whether or not to send the lunch boxes and disposable bags . However they are your child’s responsibility. I would encourage all pupils to bring a water bottle.
We will have a very short lunch around 25 minutes this is to accommodate a visit to both locations.
Are we to wear school uniform?
Yes, although I would recommend trainers, a warm jacket and perhaps a hat or scarf. Stirling Castle is mainly outside and we will be walking around it.
Are we allowed to touch the armour and swords?
Leaders at Bannockburn will let you know what you can touch during our 2 hour session.
Do you need to bring your school bag?
No need. Although School clubs will still be on after school.
