On Monday 23 September ten children from Primary 6 and Primary 7 joined with children from other local schools to take part in a football festival. We played three games. We drew with Rattray B, lost to Rattray A and won against Burrelton B.
The children were a credit to the school and their parents, showing good sportsmanship skills throughout.
Kristofer Mason was selected to attend the next round of events.
On Thursday 26 September we celebrated European Day of Languages in the following ways:
Children in TR1 studied the map of Europe and looked closely at three countries. At snack time they enjoyed sampling some of the countries’ traditional foods.
Our morning nursery joined Primary 1 to learn two French songs – Frere Jacques and Savez-Vous plantez les chouz? The afternoon class learned Polish words for farm animals.
Children in Primary 2 can say hello, goodbye, please and thank you in French. The can also count from 1 to 10 in French.
Children in Primary 3 learned a new Spanish song.
Children in TR2 learned Polish words for greetings, colours, numbers to 10 and drew the Polish flag.
They also read the story of Goldilocks in German.
Primary 4 children can now say the days of the week in Spanish.
Kornelia taught the boys and girls in Primary 5 how to sing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in Polish.
Primary 6 and some of their parents had a German breakfast.
Primary 7 joined up with their ‘Wee Pals’ in Primary 1. The Polish children taught the rest of the children the Polish names for animals. They then sang Old McDonald Had a Farm in Polish.
We have to say a huge thank you to Wendy McCombes for providing all children in P1-P7 with a soup bag. We hope you enjoy making soup with your children.
Following on from last year’s successful project, staff from the Living Communities Project have been working with the P6 and P7 children to create wall hangings depicting aspects of linen and jute industries in Coupar Angus.
