P4/5 really enjoyed their Open Afternoon and showed their parents all the hard work that they had done this term. Enjoy looking at some of the pictures that were taken below.
Open Afternoon
P4/5’s Borrower Rooms Make Progress
P4/5 have continued to work hard on designing rooms for borrowers. There are lots of different designs and they are nearing completion.
Here are some photos of the children working hard:
The children were only given red, blue, yellow, black and white and had to create the other colours they needed from these specific colours.
P4/5 and P5M go to Judo
On Thursday 3rd March P4/5 and P5M had a taster session for judo. This session was thoroughly enjoyed by the pupils as they learnt and practised different moves.
Here are some shots taken on the day:

P4L Story Makers – “The Twa Corbies”
This is the poem/song that we will be studying in P4L for the Literacy Showcase. We will first use it to translate into English, then to make it into a short story, and finally into a play to perform on the open afternoon. Like all good folk tales, it will give the class a chance to make their own stories. These will explain where in the local landscape this story took place and how it relates to other stories from Strathmore.
THE TWA CORBIES
As I was walkin’ all alane,
I heard twa corbies makin’ a mane,
The tane untae the t’ither say-o’
Where sall we gang and dine the day-o,
Where sall we gang and dine the day-o.
In ahint yon auld fail dyke.
I wot there lies a new slain knight,
And naebody kens that he lies there-o
But his hawk and hound and lady fair –o,
His hawk and hound and lady fair-o.
His hound is tae the huntin’ gane,
His hawk tae fetch the wild-fowl hame,
His lady’s taen anither mate-o,
Sae we may mak oor dinner sweet-o,
Sae we may mak oor dinner sweet-o.
Ye’ll sit on his white hause bane,
And I’ll pike oot his bonny blue een,
Wi’ ae lock o’ his gowden hair-o,
We’ll theek oor nest when it grows bare –o,
We’ll theek oor nest when it grows bare-o.
Mony an ane for him maks mane,
But nane sall ken where he is gane,
O’e his white banes when they are bare-o,
The wind sall blaw for ever mair –o,
The wind sall blaw for ever mair-o
P5M design their own Borrower’s rooms.
Primary 5M have been planning and designing a room from The Borrowers by Mary Norton.
Welcome to P4L, P4/5 and P5M
We are excited to launch our new blog. This will be updated with things we are doing in class. Currently we have begun our new topics for the Literacy Showcase.
