On Friday we had our Halloween party. We enjoyed dancing, playing musical statues, musical pumpkins, pass the pumpkin and enjoyed eating some treats! We even dooked for apples in true Halloween style! Great fun was had by all!

P4-7 have been learning to draw a portrait with our talented school artist, Mrs Dorrington. This will help us during our court case next week as some of us are court artists.

P4-7 have been practising for their Mock Court trip next week.

P4 -7 have been working with textiles today to make robes for their Mock Court topic.

On Tuesdays P4-7 have started to learn about country dancing and even learning them. We have learned two dances already and are wanting to learn more. We are learning 11 dances for the Day of Dance in December. We all have partners too and are looking forward to every session.

Today Primary 5/6/7 learned how to use a compass. I learned how to do a circle drawing.

Madain mhath.  Ciamar a tha sibh? (Good morning. How are you?)

Miss Cameron and I are learning how to talk about how we are feeling and the days of the week in Gaelic, today.

Mar sin leibh.
