Flat Emily Returns from Holiday!

Emily has been a very lucky girl and recently enjoyed a fun filled holiday in sunny Tenerife! She had a wonderful time building sandcastles at the beach and even had a ‘splashing’ time in the pool!

Emily has been out and about on lots of adventures recently, check back on the blog during the week to see what else she has been up to! 

‘Flat Emily’

Today Primary 4 had a very special visitor called Flat Emily. Flat Emily is the creation of a girl called Emily who lives in America and is studying the book ‘Flat Stanley’, written by Jeff Brown. In the books, Stanley goes on many adventures, using the postal service to travel. Emily has used this as inspiration and is sending a flat version of herself around the world on many adventures. Today, she joined us in Scotland and has been having lots of fun in our school!

After school, Flat Emily joined in with our Choir who were busy rehearsing for our School Show ‘Annie’ and she also joined some children who are doing a Bikeability Course.

Emily is now away on some adventures with some children from Primary 4 – check back throughout the week to see some of the places she has visited.
