Today the class met a well known writer called Matthew Fitt! We met him at Waterstones and he read us some of his book Mr Mingin (Mr Stink translated into Scots). Mr Fitt got some of the class to read out some funny scots words and made one of our pupils burp – the LONGEST burp in scots EVER (pardon me!). Once we read the book we all danced to the ‘Shoogly Woogly’ – yi pit yir oxters in, yir oxters oot! While we were reading the book we learnt some new scots words we hadn’t learnt before like dowp (bottom), oxters (arm pits) and lavvy-heid (loser). Mr Fitt gave us a scots copy of the book that he had signed and also gave us a sneak peak at his new translation of ‘Billionaire Boy’, it sounds awesome! The visit was brilliant and we are looking forward to meeting more authors.
After another cooked breakfast 7b headed out to check their traps set last night… We were in luck with a vole and 5 mice guests in our straw hotels. Who knew mice could jump so high. Boots at the ready for the Cataran Trail and fire starting with flint and steel!
Weather is dull but the kids are not! All good #kindrogan #magnificent7
In my room with all my friends and so far we have done , raft building and animal trapping yesterday. I think that we will catch a wood mouse but my friend Nicole wants to catch a vole though so I can’t wait!!!!
We won both raft races and all the people on my team when we were close to the finish line got off!!! I won the last bit of the race on my own ! Today we are doing the low ropes and a big walk
This afternoon we were building rafts and going on them for a practise before we did a race. I was really scared before I went on but when I did I was fine and I managed it and is was really fun.
We are a small class of 17 pupils but we have big imaginations and we are super smart. In our class our table groups are based on Minecraft – The Diamond Dogs, Mighty Iron Golems & Ender Dragons. Our science topic for this term is Water and we are also learning all about Jewish Festivals. We are excited to write more blogs as we learn more about them at Blogging Bootcamp. See ya next time!!
Yesterday we opened the doors and got active for Maths. In groups we created an obstacle course. We then had to time ourselves and work out who was the fastest and also the difference in our estimated times to our actual times. We were like Usain Bolt whizzing round the track!
We had great fun and we loved being outdoors for Maths.
Sorry, we have to speed off now… beat you to our next blog…
We are a P6/7 class at Strathburn School. There are 24 of us. We have two teachers called Mrs Milne and Mrs Simpson. We are learning about music and sound this term. We have also found out about owls and made some fantastic 3D owls for the classroom (pictures to follow). Our class novel is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. We have made a cardboard Harry and a collage owl to welcome people to our classroom. We are also making 2D owls to put in our reading corner.
