Last Monday we had our first visit to Peebles Swimming Pool for swimming lessons. Mrs. Thomson and the pool staff were very impressed with everyone’s confidence and hard work in the pool.
REMEMBER your swimming kit every Monday until the Feb holiday.
We have been busy learning these 2 poems. You can find them on the Scottish Poetry Library website (link below) Practise often. Everyone needs to learn a poem as part of our Scots language learning. I would love as many pupils as possible to take part in our school Scottish Poetry competition. There will be a winner and a runner up chosen from our class. Good luck everyone.

We used our printing skills to print these calendars showing the 4 seasons. They took a long time but they are worth it. They look amazing. Mrs. Thomson was impressed with our sensible behaviour while we worked on these.
Inspired by Mrs. Smith’s Nativity Art PowerPoint with modern and traditional Nativity art we created our own Nativity pictures.
Junior – We had fun playing with the magnet games in P3A and P3B.
Sam E – When we made the magnet games it was very amazing because it was fun to build our own games.
Chloe S – Everyone was having fun playing the games. Everyone liked the games.
Ailish – We had fun making the games. We co-operated really well.
Lloyd – When we made our magnet games it was very exciting to make the magnet game with my group.
Frankie – The magnet games were very fun to play. And we used our knowledge about magnets to make them.
Maisie – We got to go into each other’s P3 class to play the magnet games.
Wow! We amazed Mrs. Thomson and Mrs. Dundas with our incredible acting and singing. We were loud and clear and expressive. Wow! Wow! Wow!
Millie – When we were doing the Nativity it was fun and all the adults liked it. And everybody was clear and they knew their cues.
Maisie – We had fun and it was exciting.
Frankie – The costumes were amazing.
Isaac – I liked when I pressed the big button on the spaceship and I fixed it.
Lewis – I liked it when all the Mums and Dads came to watch us.

Rehearsals are going really well for Christmas with the Aliens. Everyone has learned their words and the singing is beautiful. In Goldentime on Thursday we created a spaceship. Thank you Mrs Ryalls for drawing the spaceship for us.
We had great fun making healthy tuna wraps. First we squeezed mayonnaise all over the wrap. Then we put some tuna and mixed beans on the top. Finally we grated carrot over the top.
Scarlett: I liked the tuna.
Millie: I liked tasting some new things.
Zack: I enjoyed my wrap with only carrot and tuna.
Lloyd: I liked trying something that I had never tried before – the mixed up beans.
Sam F: They were SO nice!
Junior: I ate them as fast as I could because they were so tasty.
Isaac: It was really good trying out new things.
Chloe S: I loved the carrot and beans. And I had never tried them before.
Ailish: I had never tried those beans before. They were yummy!
We have also been creating our own Eat Well Plates with the 5 food groups that we need to eat to keep healthy. What are the 5 food groups? Which ones have the biggest part of the plate? What does that mean?
Hooray! Well done everyone. You have made our cleaners and Mrs. Thomson very happy and very proud of you. You took responsibility for keeping our cloakroom tidy and you kept remembering without any help from the adults. You deserve to have this lovely shiny cup.
