Reminder: Burns Competition Friday 5th February 2016

A reminder that each class have been given a Scots poem to learn at home as part of our annual Burns celebrations at Glenmanor Primary.

All children will have the opportunity to recite their poem from memory within their own class and some children will be selected as finalists to perform at a whole-school Burns assembly. There will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize for each class and these children will be awarded with official Robert Burns Federation certificates.

Children should learn their poem off by heart and add suitable expression and actions. Some of the poems are performed by people online on sites such as YouTube and this may assist your child in learning their poem.

The poems are as follows:

P1a/P1b – My Wee Rid Motor, P2/P2/3 – Nessie, P3 – The Sair Finger, P4 – Fireworks aff the Castle, P4/5/P5 – A Chuckie in yer Shoe, P6/P6/7 – Such a Parcel of Rogues in a Nation, P7 – Lament to the Toothache.

If you need another copy of the poem, please ask Miss O’Neill.

P2 and the Water Cycle

P2 have been exploring the different stages of the Water Cycle. They learned that “Precipitation” is the fancy word for rain, and that “Evaporation” is when water turns from a liquid into a gas to become a cloud. We are looking forward to finding out more about this process this week!

We used the interactive smartboard to find out more about the Water Cycle.

We completed our own Water Cycle diagrams and tested ourselves on what each stage is called.
