Some pupils have asked for a copy of the Spelling Strategies as they no longer have the ones issued earlier in the year. Please use this to help you with your homework and to spell unfamiliar words.

Some fantastic Roman projects were created by the talented pupils (& parents) of P5/4. The pupils produced some great artefacts and enjoyed telling the class all about the process of making them. Well Done to you all!!

A huge well done to all our Primary 5 pupils who performed superbly at our Easter Service. Each and every one of them rose to the occasion of spreading the “Good News” I think we have definitely have some future stars on our hands. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!! Here are a selection of some photos from the service.

Hi

Just a reminder to everyone that your IDL Romans project is due in on Monday! I am looking forward to seeing your creations!!

Primary 5/4 had a busy afternoon making Sardine Pate! Many children did not like the appearence of the Sardines or indeed the smell of the garlic puree that was addded to the mixture, although they all had a super time making it. Mums and Dads might be getting a special treat tonight as not too many children were keen to taste their Pate!!

P5/4 children had an exciting afternoon making Tuna Wraps. They had great fun practising their ‘Bridge Hold’ and ‘Crawl Grip’ knife skills. We hope you enjoy the wraps they made. Some children even said they would be giving it to mum as an early Mother’s Day present!!  The olives were sampled by some but I’m unfraid to say that most ended up in the bin!! Next recipe will be Sardine Pate on the 27/3/15!!

Some Parents were asking for some suggestions about books that their children could read. Below is a list of books that have been enjoyed by other children in there are group. This is in no way an exhaustive list.

Please bring in your completed project to show the class on Week Beginning 30/3/15.  Get creative and have fun!!

• Make a Roman City collage
• Build a 3D Amphitheatre
• Design a Roman Numeral Scroll or Clock

Or perhaps you have your own idea, let me know what you’re thinking if you want to do something different from the tasks listed on the above list.

Hope your and your families have a great time working on your project.

Primary 5/4 had a super day at Callendar House in Falkirk learning about the Romans. We dressed up as Roman Soliders, went on a march and had to defend ourselves from an attack by the adults. Luckily we had our shields and helmets to protect us.

We learned lots of interesting information about the Romans and this trip has really heightened our interest in our new class topic. We will be learning lots more about Romans in the coming weeks and will have an interesting project to complete on this soon.
