Today our Fabulous Trophies arrived! We all saved up for them and Natasha phoned up in class and ordered them. This one is for the winning group. They will be able to have it on their table all week. We are going to take it with us to Primary 7.
The other ones were for the prizes in our Inanimate Alice competition. The winning group chose these trophies.
The runners-up chose these trophies. We got to take them home today.
The group who were third all chose a medal and they chose their own colour of ribbon. They say 3rd and clip on to the ribbon.
Everybody was very excited when they got delivered and it was Jade’s dad who brought them to the school because he works for the delivery company! It was Tommy M who chose F for Fabulous Trophies.

Photo a day C
Hi it’s Kyle here, I took a picture of a computer because I go to the computer suite daily. I also like computers because we have glow wikis and blogs. There 37 computers in the school.
Photo a Day- B
Hi, I’m Jade this is my picture for photo a day. I’ve got the letter B and I’m doing…a bee!
The reason I chose a bee is because I really like bee’s and I find them quite interesting.This bee is not actually a bee, we are doing puppet shows at the minute so I borrowed a puppet, they are from the Primary 1 area, that is where we got them from.
Photo a Day-A
Hi, Andrew F here. We have decided to do a Photo a Day at Carronshore. Everyone gets a letter of the alphabet an has to think of a word for it. Then, when it’s your day you have to find that object in the school and take a picture of it. Today it was Ryan R’s turn. He took a picture of the art room.
Now Ryan will say a little bit about the art room…
Ryan R here we go to art every Monday morning. The art teacher is Mrs Williamson. This is a picture of one of the walls.
What We’ve Been Up To!
This is a quick post 
to let everyone know just some of the things we’ve been up to recently. This week the whole school are involved in ‘Money Week’. P 6V are looking at mobile phones and their tariffs and if you click on the image here you’ll be able to read all about day one on our Glow maths blog. Mason wrote about what was happening in class – he did a great job and he’s promised to write up Tuesday’s money Week report tomorrow.
Primary 6V seem to be enjoying the Money Week activities so far … even Ryan R’s group have promised not to be silly! Click on Ryan’s Glow Blog header icon to read what he said. Hopefully he means it 🙂
There have been some other great recent blog posts from Primary 6V – some of them have been written at home. This weekend Anna wrote a post to tell us all that she’s finally clear of her egg allergy and she can now tuck in to all sorts of goodies … including ice-cream! Click on her Glow header to visit her blog.
All Primary 6V have a Glow ePortfolio. If you’re not sure what a Glow ePortfolio is, Andrew wrote a bit about his:
“…this is actually a GlowWiki but I am using it as an ePortfolio. Incase you were wondering, an ePortfolio is something online where you record your achievements throughout the years. You can use it to get a job when you grow up as well”
Anna added this explanation to hers:
..And as if all that isn’t enough, check out two of our Inanimate Alice style digital stories. There are more to come, and we’re having a film premiere on Thursday afternoon. The whole school will hopefully help us decide which group has produced the best story.
Watch this space! Meanwhile why don’t you leave us a comment to let us know what you think of the two stories that have been published so far?

Burns Poetry Competition Update
Our last Class blog post was about the annual Burns Poetry Competition with a neighbouring school. We had some great primary 6v competitors this year – but we didn’t get the coveted gold medal 🙁
Natasha has written a follow-up post about her thoughts/experience of taking part in the competition – and she mentions some great advice from Robyn. She said:
“it’s not about winning its about playing the game”
We’re very proud of our silver ‘runner-up’ medals!
All the finalists from Carronshore received a silver medal and Robyn brought hers in to school today to show it off.
It looks great, doesn’t it!
Here’s the Primary 6V finalists … well, it’s their voices, anyway 🙂

And, here’s Natasha’s
P6V Burns Poetry Finalists!
Natasha wrote a ‘nail-biting’ post tonight as she prepared to go to the annual Burns Poetry competition.
Here’s what she said:
“I know burns night was like TWO WHOLE months ago but our school are only having the competition now. Anyway me, Andrew and Robyn are the finalist’s for p6 for carronshore primary school. I’m quite nervous, but I’m sure I’ll be fine. I did a little pretend competition in front of my Teddies and I was fine, so yeah!
Andrew told me he was SO nervous he threw up last night because of it! I’m sure I’m not THAT nervous!! I’m doing ‘My Heart’s in the Highlands’. The competition is in Carron and I’ve never been there before so that’s something! I hope we win…..”
You can read the rest of her post by clicking on her Glow blog header icon.
Good Luck, Natasha – you’ll be GREAT!
And good luck to Robyn and Andrew, too. We’ll be checking out their blogs to see if they write anything about how the competition went for them 🙂
Good luck, Robyn!!!
Best of luck, Andrew 🙂
Hot Off The Press!!
Here they are – four brand new blog posts from Primary 6V.
These posts are just some of the ones published today and they’re worth reading!
One was published earlier today, and the others were written at home after school.
They’ll be shared in class and we’ll give them each a ‘Two Stars and a Wish’ comment.
Primary 6V would also appreciate any comments from visitors.
Reading and discussing each others’ blog posts is a great way to learn how to improve writing – much better than using textbooks 🙂

1. Homer The Hamster – a great read!
2. Farewell Mrs Green – wonderful 🙂

More About Primary 6V’s Great Blogs!
In the previous post, there are links to some Primary 6V’s individual Glow blogs. Today we read all the posts out in class and gave them ‘two stars and a wish’ comments ….. the hardest bit was keeping the ‘star’ comments to just two 🙂

“Hi everyone! Everybody in my class went on a school trip to Callendar House last Friday. We went there to learn a bit more about the Victorians, which is our topic for this term”.

Introducing Primary 6V’s Glow Spaces!
Primary 6V have their own individual Glow blogs and they update them regularly. In class, we enjoy reading new blog posts and sometimes we give them ‘Two Stars and a Wish’ (we found this animated picture and really wanted to include it here so we asked the creator and he said we could – thank you!)

A selection of our poems and ‘Reports’ Catch Up!
Most of our poems are now in our Poetry Pages. Why not have a look and leave a comment?
Today we listened to all the podcasts about ‘How our School is Doing’. We made some notes and discussed what should be included in the final Reports. We are going to work with a writing partner in our computer suite to write the reports. We hope to do this tomorrow!!

Mrs Williamson Interview
When we asked the adults in the school the ‘How Are We Doing?’ questions, all of them mentioned the fact that the corridors and areas were bright and welcoming. We decided to interview Mrs Williamson, our art teacher, to find out more about how she manages the art lessons with the whole school.

Writing Reports
Today, P.C. Ward visited our school to tell us what is involved when writing a police report. He read us some notebook entries. A community policeman always carries a spare notebook because they write down lots of details.
The notebook entries are very important because they are used to write up the formal reports that are presented in court. We had lots of questions to ask P.C. Ward and we made a video. We’ll put in on our blog soon. He gave us lots of advice about report writing.

New Comment from Africa – update
How exciting!!
Gregory posted this comment on our Blog all the way from Namibia (we saw the town on our ‘geovisitors’ link earlier today ….. welcome, Gregory!!)!
At 23 November, 2006, Anonymous said…
HalloMy name is Gregory, I live in Namibia in the south west of Africa.The town is Khorixas.Around here we live in very hot temperatures ranging from 32 up 40 degrees.I saw your blog on the internet and I loved the project, as this is an excellent method in helping the younger ones to start reading and using computers.Through writing and the internet I have also recently made a contact with a top I.T professional in England called Neil.If you read more and more you get more and more brains P.S: keep this in mind,…….GREGORY
I’ve been talking to Neil in Manchester. He lives with Steph and her mum has recently gone out to work in Namibia. She put Gregory in touch with Neil (my eldest son ….. the top I.T. professional!? 🙂 ) and we think that she gave Gregory our Blog address ….. what a small world.
