Thank you to all our families who came along to parent contact last week, the pupils really enjoyed sharing their learning with you. Here are all the short films that were on display that night in case you missed them.

We are also delighted to announce that our Book Trailer for Never Tickle a Tiger was Highly Commended by the Scottish Book Trust.

A Day of Medieval Making

First we did some research on a site called Scran and we also looked in books. We used our skimming and scanning and note-taking skills to help. We wanted to find out what people wore in medieval times. After our research we had some ideas on how recreate the items of clothing that we had found. Some people worked with adults, parent helpers, to design and make a costume. Others tried some embroidery, weaving, making clay accessories and sewing small pouches. We had to persevere when things got tricky! Here are some photos of our day. We are going to continue our work next week.
We would like to thank all the parents who came in to help out.
