Today during IDL time, we learned some words in Swahili. Swahili is an African language spoken by around 120 million people. We learned how to say;
Hello – Jambo
How are you? – Habari gani?
Primary 5 would like to say a big thank you to everyone who was able to make the open event on Friday morning. We had a great time sharing our IZAK9 resource with you and showing you how we work together in our teams to solve the problems. We were very impressed at your problem solving skills and your German and French skills! We are glad you can now see how we have fun in maths!
Primary 2 are enjoying learning some French greetings. The boys and girls can ask and answer, “What is your name?” and, “How old are you?” in French. Practise asking and answering these questions with someone at home! We display the new vocabulary on our French window.
Sing along to a French song about greetings by searching, “French greetings song for children” on YouTube.
Frau Kusian works at the Goethe Instituit in Glasgow promoting German language and culture and she came to visit P4 and P4/5 today.
We practised the German we had already learned at school and she also taught us some new words. This picture shows her asking us about the German names for pet animals and wild animals and the sounds they make in German. We are learning about these animals with our German puppets Felix and Franzi.
We sang to her in German and told her how we were feeling.
We had a great time and she said that she did too.
Auf Wiedersehen. Bis bald.
Felix and Franzi look forward to helping you to learn German this term. You can enjoy all their adventures at home too as you can access them online.
Details are available from Mrs Charles.
The second part of our parents event took place in the Learning Kitchen where the pupils from P3 and Spanish Club pupils from P4 and 5 were serving tapas (Spanish snacks) to all our visitors.

The cafe was very popular and successful with pupils serving the food in Spanish and helping their parents/guardians with the pronunciation of the phrases left on each table. The tapas were eaten up very quickly so we haven’t got many pictures of the snacks on offer but we do promise they were delicious – muy delicioso.
Thanks to all my helpers especially Johnathon who took the photos for me as I was busy in the kitchen. Muchas gracias for such a wonderful turnout!
Parents and guardians of P3 pupils are invited to bring in their sunflowers for planting in the garden at tomorrow’s open event. That is if you can carry them as I have heard many are now too tall to move! We look forward to seeing you at 9.30am in the garden and at 10am we shall be inviting you to try some Spanish tapas along with tea, coffee or juice in our learning kitchen. The pupils have been learning how to take orders in Spanish so please have a go using the phrases we will have left on the tables for you!
Hasta manana! See you tomorrow
We have been learning German in Primary 1b. Our German puppets, Felix and Franzi, have been teaching us to greet each other with ‘Hallo’ (hello), ‘Guten Morgen’ (good morning) and ‘Guten Tag’ (good day). Take a look at us singing our favourite German song.
