Term 3

Our topic this term comes form the ‘The Twits.’ We are reading this novel as a class and using it to explore different areas of the curriculum. So far we have used our learning to create, describe and design Mr and Mrs Twit alongside Mr McCutcheon’s class. We hope you will come and visit our fantastic display soon! We are super proud of it.

Robert Burns day

To celebrate Robert Burns day, the whole school are learning a Scots Poem and are aiming to perform in front of each other on Friday 24th January!! Both Primary 2 and 3 have been given their poem and have been working hard to learn it off by heart. The poems can be found below and any further help at home would be greatly appreciated.

Primary 2

The Wee Rid Motor

By Sandy Thomas Ross

 

In ma wee rid motor,

I can gang for miles,

Up and doon the gairden,

through the lobby whiles.

Mony a bigger motor

gangs tae toons afaur.

Nane can gang whaur I gang

In my wee rid caur.

 

Primary 3

Ma Hoggie

By Robert Burns

 

What will I do gin my Hoggie die,

My joy, my pride, my Hoggie:

My only beast, I had nae mae,

And vow but I was vogie.

The lee-lang night we watch’d the fauld,

Me and my faithfu’ doggie;

We heard nought but the roaring linn

Amang the braes sae scroggie.

But the houlet cry’d frae the Castle-wa’,

The blitter frae the boggie,

The tod reply’d upon the hill,

I trembled for my Hoggie.

When day did daw and cocks did craw,

The morning it was foggie;

An unco tyke lap o’er the dyke

And maist has kill’d my Hoggie.

 

Term 2

This term we are journeying back in time to learn all about the vikings! As a class we have decided we want to know how the vikings lived, what they ate and when they lived as well as numerous other details of their lives. We also wanted to be as practical as possible, alongside Mr McCutcheon’s Primary 3’s we have been able to design, create and decorate our own viking props! Also, alognside Mrs Miller’s and Mr McCutheon’s class we have been lucky enough to have a special guest coming in early on in December to teach us and let us have our hands on some real viking pieces of equipment!!!
