Room 7 got given a number of 200 trouts to care for. We received them on the 18th January. A man called Willie came in every Tuesday until our release which was on the 11th march. Friday was a very exciting day we all had 1-4 trouts in each tub and we walked down to our local burn which was just down the lane. It was a lovely river and it will be a great home for the trout.
We had a great time and thank you so much Willie for all that you have done we had a wonderful time.
In health and wellbeing we had to make a healthy dinner .
Today we have been practising our dancing for the Christmas party. We were dancing with Primary 4,6 and 7 because the P5 went swimming and some of the P6,7’s went to handball. Some of the P4’s didn’t know what to do because they only started. The dance’s that we did were Gay Gordon’s, Military two step and the dashing white sergeant.

Last week the p6/7s went to the Airdrie Schools Cup. We were competing to win the Fair Play Award. We worked hard to play as a team. Half way through it got called off because of the rain. They showed us a presentation about the old and new Airdrie Schools Cup. It was interesting.
On Thursday we had a visit from Mr Marshall and Kirsty from Active Schools. She had good news for us. Plains Primary won the quiz so congratulations to them. We won the Fair Play Award! That meant we all got to go to Airdrie Stadium to be presented with our trophy infront of all the football fans.
Well done Kirk O’ Shotts football team!
We had some special visitors called Speeding Ted and Ziggy. The JRSO’s showed room 1 and 2 how to be safe on the roads and near construction. All the children had a great time with the special visitors. We got the children involved by having one of them dress up as our lollypop lady Mary. Some of the children dressed up as builders and others were the cars. Ziggy hopes that the children at Kirk O’ Shotts will be more safe around the roads and also hopes that Speeding Ted will slow down on the roads next time. 🙂 The JRSOS.
The fire brigade came and taught us about secondary fires today. They where telling us about the danger of secondary fires. They said a lit cigarette can set fire to a sofa in one minute we all found it fascinating. The firemen asked us to spread awareness of secondary fires, They asked us not to do prank calls because there could be a more important emergency.
The Kirk o’ Shotts Primary Netball Team competed in the Airdrie finals on Friday, after qualifying for a place from our group heats at the end of 2013. Not only did everyone involved play extremely well, but we WON the competition. We were awarded gold medals each as well as the competition shield for the winners. Savannah was also nominated ‘Player of the Team’. This means we go on to be one of the two teams representing Airdrie in the North Lanarkshire finals later in the year, competing against each of the top two teams from Coatbridge, Motherwell, Kilsyth, Cumbernauld and Wishaw. We’ll let you know how we get on!

Last week we were set a dramatic challenge! We were asked to script our own mini-plays based around an aspect of peer pressure and to demonstrate the negative effects/potential consequences of this. We worked extremely hard and all performed with confidence in front of the other members of the class. Some of us even made props! Here are a selection of photos from the afternoon.
We went to Motherwell Heritage Centre to learn more about our Romans topic. Our guide, Hugh taught us a lot about the Romans in Britain and the many things they introduced which are still in use today. We also learned about how they bathed, ate and lived.
Did you know?….there are remains of Roman baths at Strathclyde Park and that Hadrians wall was built by the Romans!?
In the afternoon we got to try on Roman soldier armour and hold a sword which was so heavy that some of us thought we were going to collapse!
We all had a great day and learned a lot! Take a look at some of our photos below.
This week we made bruschetta using tomatoes, basil, red onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and bread. We didn’t think we would like it but it was amazing! We wanted seconds. We can show you how to make this if you would like to try it.
