Hello all!

This week we had Mairi Sheils into talk to us about the history of Newport. It was really interesting and we found out lots of new things about what Newport was like many years ago. We used our new knowledge to help us plan our walk around Newport. After a vote we decided we wanted to go to Kinbrae Park to see where the old railway station was and where the owner of the Dundee Advertiser’s house used to be. We also went down to see the old pier and where ‘Stinky’s’ café and the old Post Office were. We then walked back up through Berry’s Den to show Miss Amy the colourful bee house and see what was left of the old rail bridge! We used a map to mark a route.

We have started planning and making PowerPoint presentations for our individual presentations next week. We have chosen a topic from a list, either the River Tay, Dundee Law, Newport or Housing.

We loved seeing lots of parents today to help us with our Christmas jokes for the Community Bags. Thank you for coming in to help.

We have been practising our Christmas song on the ukuleles that we are going to play in the Church Service next week. It is sounding pretty good!

Have a good weekend.
