We have been making quiz’s all about Robert Burns.We are planning to question three teachers from three classes to see how much they know.
We will be putting some part’s of each quiz in to one big quiz to play at the Robert Burns assembly.
You can have a go at our quiz below.
We have been writing character descriptions in class.
We had to good describing word such as strange, sticky and rough, we also had to use similies and metaphors. We listend to a film clip called the lost thing and had to use our imaginations to write it. Our target was describe what the character looks like, sounds like and wearing. Here is a piece of writing.
“A few years back I was sitting on the sand minding my own and thats when I saw it. A poor little blue scaly object, I walked over and thought it must have been washed up by the rolling frothy waves that were crashing into shore. I slowly bent down and picked it up, it had a small gash at the side of its head, its bright green eyes were locked on to mine. I picked it up it felt stone cold, it was a strange sticky feeling, rough but not slimey. I looked closer, it seemed to have gils but also tiny little legs, I felt sorry for the poor little thing. So i took it over to my little perch and pored water along its slimey body, it purred but not like any cat”.

We have been preparing posters to advertise our election pledges. We had to make sure that our Political Party got its message across!
Vote for us!
The Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils are organising their own election campaign! We were put into groups, which were our political parties. We had to come up with 5 policies that would make people to vote for us. They had to be focussed on young people.
We also chose our jobs they were I.T. manager, resourse manager, candidate, photographer and PR secratery.
Over the next few weeks we will be campaigning – with everyone voting for their favourite candidate and party on the 7th December.
We were doing drama with Mrs Inglis. We were learning about improvisation. We had to take an object and make it into a prop. Some people chose a bench and made it into a canoe or a trampoline. We had to make the prop into 10 different things, 5 silent and 5 speaking. Some people made a bouncy hopper into a wheelchair or a car.
These boys are improvising using a rope. What do you think they are acting out?
In ICT we went on to glow and learnt how to use html codes to make sparkly text,bouncing text and cool backgrounds, it was really fun. everyone typed in what they wanted and pasted on their glow page.
On Wednesday we were learning what makes hallowe’en today.The celts started doing something called Samhain. Their traditions were to have a big bonfire to ward of the evil spirits and welcomed the good spirits they used to do docking for apples just like today.
Hallowe’en is over 2000 years old. In the U.K. the celts started it all in 600bc to 50 ad. In 43 ad the Romans invaded and two Roman festivals came to be celebrated at the same time as the celts. The first festival was called Feralia a day when Romans commemorated the passing of the dead.
We had to read a very long passage and highlight the important information. We were only meant to highlight key words. We then had to make a poster using the information.
We have been trying to add vokis to our My Glow page using an xml web-part. Some of the class have also made vokis at home.

We listened to a film – without seeing what was happening in it. We wrote down our ideas of what we thought might be happening and discussed it in a group. We then had to create a cartoon story based on what we heard. There were some interesting stories created!
This is Ethan’s cartoon.
You can watch the film here.
