A Visit from Scottish Badminton .

This week…

These guys from Scotland who play badminton came up. They showed us how to play badminton (the basics).We learnt how to showboat, to do keepy uppies. At the end we played an educational game of badminton.  It was really fun!We loved it so much.

We also had a new topic in gym. We had gymnastics. For some people it’s fun but some probably find it more difficult

Task Force 2016

We have started new task force groups for this year. We were put into ten  groups, with a mix of ages ranging from p1 to p7. The older pupils help the younger ones, however, the p1s weren’t with us because they only have a half day for this term, but they will take part in Task Force activities during the year. The first thing we did was write cards all about ourselves and shared them with our group. Everyone gets a chance to talk in turns. Then we moved onto our trophies, which would later be displayed in the primary area. There were two designs of trophies, star and cup. In the groups we chose the name that our group would be known by, for example there was the Swaggy Sausages, Da Local Trouts & Finding Dory. Then we decorated them, and got together showed the other group in the same classroom. We gave them to the teachers Mrs Scott and Mrs Nicolson to cut them out. The task force groups look after things in the school, e.g. there is the Interior Designers who take care of the wall displays and the Gardeners. Written by Asia and Ishbel

The art bus

On the 30th of August, the art bus came to visit. In the bus, there were 6 pieces of art in bus and they were a virtual reality. One of the pieces of art was a big painting of phones and hands. It was painted on a big solar panel. And they also had a mini village, made out of paper and card.

There were also a small boat made out of wood, with the widows showing the ocean.  The ocean was also moving because it was a recorded stop motion video. All of the furniture was also made of wood

The virtual reality was really amazing. It was ment to be set in a old building with an elevator going up and downand there was also a whale called Jeffrey and tons of painting staring at you which are  and there was also a whale called Jeffrey and tons of paintings, the paintings also looked like they we’re looking at you. image
