Enchanted review
We have both decided to write a review on the film Enchanted. We have both been to see it at the cinema and agree its a fabulous film. If you like singing princesses,humor,love and action this is your film. We have decieded to give it ***** and 9/10. The film starts off as a cartoon when Princess Giselle(Amy Adams) and Prince Edward(James Marsden) are going to get married but the evil step mother Queen Narissa ( susan sarandon) gets in the way by sending Giselle to New York City-certainly not a cartoon!Giselle meets a man called Robert(Patrick Dempsey) and his daughter Morgan(Rachel Covey). He looks after her and gets into a lot of fun but Roberts grlfriend who he is planning to propose to Nancy Termaine (Idina Menzel) doesn’t like Giselle. Edward misses his true love Giselle and comes to get her with Giselle’s best animal friend-the chipmunk Pip(Jeff Bennet & Kevin Lima)! He gets into a lot of trouble with the people. Queen Narissa does not want Edward to meet Giselle cause she wants to be queen so she sends her servant Nathaniel(Timothy Spall) to try and poison Giselle with apples. Nathaniel is unsuccessful and he is nasty Pip. So Queen Narissa comes herself and tries to give Giselle the apple. This ends up in a bit of a disaster and you can see it for yourself and the rest of the film at your nearest cinema. So get down there!

Primary 7V Have Been Very Busy!
It’s been quiet on our class blog for a while, but there’s been lots of activity going on in the P7 Individual Blogs and in the P7 Wonderful Wiki Spaces!! In class today, we decided that these activities should be shared on this class blog on a regular basis. Some have been writing about hopes for 2008, some have been writing reviews on games, etc.
…….. and recently some of the P7’s chose to write imaginative stories on their wikis or blogs.
‘Tasters’ are included here.
Story 1:
…… Ava Dun went to North Village High school in Orlando, Florida. Ava was a normal 16 year old girl but something very unusual happened to her and her best friends.
One extremely stormy day 16 year old Ava Dun was in her room very bored as all her friends had something on, like her best friend Carla who was at dancing lessons and her other best friend Grace who was babysitting her 6 year old little sister. So while Ava’s friends were busy, she lay on her bed looking at the ceiling daydreaming. Then Ava had an idea! She decided she would look through all her clothes, shoes and accessories and see if she could give any away to charity. Just as ava started to look through all her clothes her phone rang so she walked to her bedside table,picked up her phone and answered it. “Hello,” Ava said into the phone.
“Hey!” Replied Carla.
“How was dancing?” asked Ava.
“Good!” Carla said enthusiasticly, “I learned a whole new dance and i was wondering if i could come over and show you it?”
“I think that would be ok. My room is a bit messy though as i started to clear out my clothes to give to charity,” Ava murmered.
“Its fine, my room is the same except i don’t have an excuse for mine to be messy!” Carla giggled, ” Will i just get my mum to drop me off just now or would you rather i come over later?”
“Whenever you’re ready,” said Ava breezily, “See you soon!”
“Bye!” replied Carla.
Ava hung up and then walked over to the sea of clothes on her bed and started to look through them. Wow Ava thought i never realised how much clothes i had. Ava had eventually gone through the whole pile and she was absolutley shattered…………..

Story 2:
I was sitting on my bed listening to music because it was raining outside so I had nothing to do. I watch the raindrops slide down the window and thought; this is such a boring day. Then I decided to play a game. I went to my closet and opened the door. After that I looked for a game but there was an egg on top of the game I wanted to play. This was no ordinary egg. It had fancy patterns, it had a crystal on the top and it had diamonds round the middle. It was twice the size of an egg a chicken would lay. Then suddenly it began to crack and out came a dragon no bigger than a shoe. I called my brother through and he was stunned. He nearly fainted. “What will I do with it?” I asked in disbelief” “We could keep him as a pet and not let mum and dad know.” He said with sparkling eyes.

Story 3:
It all started one Saturday morning when I got up and got my self ready. I had nothing to do so I decided to see what games I could play I had a good look and all the games i had were boring and i had already played millions of times.
I went out for a walk to the park.When I got to the park I fell of the swing and landed on the turf.When before my eyes fell a manual for something.I looked at the front cover and it said THE GAME!.I opened it up and it had characters, just then my friend came running over to me.He said whats that, I then explained to him what it was .We both opened it again to the characters and one of them was me and another one was him.We were both amazed at this book when all of a sudden WOOSH! we had been somehow warped into the game.We both looked at each other and we had taekwondo suits on and we were both white belts.
Lots of enimies came from every where and each level getting harder oponents to fight and we were moving up belts.It was gettin tough when we became black tags because we were against six black belts.After all that we got medals for winning the game and we became black belts and WOOSH! we were back at the park.We heard our parents calling us for dinner and I said,”I could do with a bite to eat”
THE END!!!

Visitors from the Nursery Class
On Halloween the children from the Nursery took a walk around the school to show off their fancy dress. They looked great!
Assembly Success!
Our assembly on ‘Internet Safety’ was a great success! The whole school and lots of mums and dads, grans and grandads, and brothers and sisters came along to listen to our important message. We sang the two songs we showed in the videos in the previous post, and there was much more, too!
The videos below show some more of the action from the day!

Mrs Paton's Leaving Party!
We had an unusual day last Friday …. we planned a great surprise party to say goodbye to Mrs Paton. She didn’t suspect a thing! It didn’t seem like school at all because we were allowed to bring clothes to change in to and lots of people brought ‘goodies’ to share!
It might have started off like a normal school day – but it ended up very differently!
🙂

Jaydean's Treasure Box Sketchcast
Jaydean decided to continue her ‘Treasure Box’ story by sketching it on Sketchcast.
We tried very hard to add ‘audio’ but it just didn’t work in school (works fine at home)…….. 🙂
Click on Jaydean’s weemee to view her story and her sketch.
Bethany's Story
Mrs Paton made up a story starter and the pupils were asked to continue it in the same style. Some of them added them to their wiki pages. Bethany illustrated hers and then recorded her version of the story orally. You can watch her ‘movie version’ below. There’s a slight pause between the first and second picture ….. please be patient while the story continues 🙂
Our Harvest Deliveries
Every year at this time, the primary 7 pupils deliver groceries to the elderly people in our community. Today the weather was not good, but there was a smile on everyone’s face …. the givers and the receivers!
Click on the video below to view the happy faces!

Our Wonderful Wikis!
Bethany and her ‘wiki friends’ are the first in the class to have come up with the idea of writing a shared story.
It was a great idea and it was lovely to see them present their shared story at our recent ‘Parent Blogging Evening’. I was very impressed that they had even added a colour code to show who had written which part of the story!
You can read the story by clicking on Bethany’s ‘WeeMee’ below.
Meanwhile, Mrs Paton thought of a great story starter and wrote a few opening sentences. She asked the class to continue it. P7V loved planning what might happen next and today some of them shared their ideas on their wikis.
Mrs Paton has been with us for a few weeks now … she’s been great and we wish her well in her new teaching career.
You can read Monica’s version of how the story might continue by clicking on her ‘WeeMee’ below.
What A Fantastic Evening!
Thank you to all the mums and dads ….. (and grans and grandads, and brothers and sisters, and aunties and uncles!!!) for coming to our ‘Blogging Evening’!
…. But most of all THANK YOU to Primary 7 …. You were all ‘mega stars’ and you made the whole event great – I was so proud of everyone of you!
Here’s a wee reminder!
Voices of the World!
Primary 7V are involved in an exciting new project called ‘Voices of the World’! Every month we have to complete a task. For September we all made a Voki to advertise the project. Our one is below.
[kml_flashembed movie="http://vhss-a.oddcast.com/voki/voki_player.swf?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fvhss-d.oddcast.com%2Fphp%2Fvoki%2Fgetvoki%2Fchsm%3D012008bfdb0a4bde2a3fae3ff61f8b17%26sc%3D53845" width="200" height="267" wmode="transparent" /]
It’s run by Mrs Tonner from the High School of Dundee. This is what Mrs Tonner says about the project:
‘Voices Of The World is an exciting project that will use the voice and sound rather than the written or typed word. All too often we ask children to communicate at a distance using text rather than voice. VOTW will hopefully prove that we can unite and learn from one another using our voices in the simplest way possible. I am looking forward to this challenge ahead of us which will surely motivate our children to learn about other cultures through the use of the voice.’
You can visit the wiki to see all the countries involved so far, and listen to everyone’s message. Just click HERE!
Involving the Community!
We’re finding out about our local community and a few weeks ago we wrote letters to the new Shore Restaurant in our area. We had some questions that we wanted to ask. The manager invited some of us to come along. You can watch the interview here. Darren, our Cameraman, did a great job (but it’s my fault that I didn’t realise the light from the window would make the video so dark – sorry Darren!)
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.jumpcut.com/media/flash/jump.swf?id=D484AAAC6DF411DCB43F000423CF4092&asset_type=clip&asset_id=D484AAAC6DF411DCB43F000423CF4092&asset_url=/media/dyn/69/8d4a/bbab38a475043aee3a383054e8/lq.flv&eb=1" width="408" height="324" wmode="transparent" /]
After the interview, we showed Craig some of the pictures of the Shore Restaurant that we have been sketching with our Art teacher, Mrs Williamson. It’s a lovely building and our charcoal drawings are looking great so far …… so great that we’re to be allowed to put some of our completed artwork on display in the restaurant! We’ll take pictures of them for our blog once they are framed!!
These are some pictures from our visit. We haven’t put any on of the front of the building .. we’ll post these alongside our completed sketches soon!

Involving Parents!
On Tuesday evening, we’re having a presentation and workshop evening in school so that the parents (and other family members) of the P7 pupils can learn more about how we use our Blogs and Wikis.
To help us prepare for this, we invited some members of Falkirk Council who are involved in working with parents to come to school and we asked them to tell us a bit about what they do.
Listen to the Vokis below to find out who they are and what their jobs involve!
