Special request

Miss Docherty, ask the children if any of them have a tartan bonnet at home or any wigs for the pantomime. Also could you send me a blog with information about how to open Kilbowie’s got talent. It opens with a question mark and I can’t play the video.

SnowWhite and the 7 Dudes

Miss Docherty and P.5. At some point this week could some children go around the school and remind all classes that the pantomime is on Thursday the 2nd of June at 2pm. Also could the children remind all teachers that the pantomime is just for the pupils and only cast members parents will be invited. This message was not delivered clearly enough first time around.
Thankyou for you assistance in this matter Primary 5.

Primary 5 – Week with Mrs O’Hanlon

Hi boys and girls, I hope you all enjoyed your week in class with me, I know I certainly did. It was great to have the opportunity to work with you for 5 consecutive days. You all produced fantastic writing in Story Writing and Novel Studies. In particular I thought your Mascot, collage work was fabulous. Keep up the good work and the next time I’m back in class I will expect you to have learned so much more about the I.C.G. topic. I will be checking to see.

All good in the hood

Primary 5 have been working really hard this week and I think they’ve missed you. We’ve done lots of writing and our little fingers are sore but we’ve learned a lot. The class are very enthusiastic about their new topic and this is very encouraging, they are carrying out their own research at home too. Many children have created their own version of the I.C.G. logo/motif, fantastic creations. At the swimming all children were dried and ready for the vending machine in under a minute, thought this was funny. All children got a treat, they told me, it’s normally the first 5 ready, but they were like lightning after I told them they could all get one. See you when you return to Chapelside.

Kilbowie Adventures – Day 3

Hi Primary 5 and Mrs O’Hanlon

I had another busy day today as I am sure you did too.

Today was an extremely windy day and our scheduled canoeing could not go ahead. 🙁 We are hoping that the weather picks up and we will be able to go canoeing in the morning (fingers crossed)

Firstly I was working with groups 3 and 5. Our instructors were Di and Ellid and we were being prepared for a morning of orienteering. We had a go at locating different things on the map by using the key at the side to identify different features.

The Kilbowie Map

We had to locate a number of sign posts which had stampers attached and use them to stamp a sheet with thirty different check points. It was fantastic but it can be quite tricky to follow the map. The trick was to ensure the map was positioned correctly by using the sea as a reference point.

It took some people longer than others to complete but everyone was really proud of themselves when they managed to finish.

After the orienteering, we had the chance to use the adventure ropes again.

Hanging in there!
Stop for a snap.

After the rope adventure we were given the option of climbing a huge tree. Some of the children decided they did not want to do this and this is ok as no one is forced to do something they do not want to do.

I decided to have a go!!!

A tree-mendous experience!

I was so proud that I made it all the way to the top and got to ring the bell. Melanie took a video of me climbing the tree and I will post it soon for you to see.

Miss you all lots:-(

CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s the video Mel took!
