This week the p6/7 classroom were making some South African necklaces ,bracelets and hats. The materials we used were old cereal boxes and paint and had some raffia to finish it of that you could either plate or use by itself. When we had finished it all we took pictures of each other. We enjoyed doing it! by Lochie Bullough

Cross Stitching
P6/7 were Cross Stitching with Mrs Fraser and a secondary pupil.
We were Cross Stitching for the year of the pig as our topic is Modern China. It will be our calendar for next year. We really enjoyed it even though sometimes a few people made mistakes and have not finished them yet and are looking forward to continuing them next week.

French teachers come to Aith!
Two French teachers came to visit our school this week. They spoke French to us. We are going to be exchanging work with their classes all year. We made cards about ourselves for the teachers to take back to France. It was hard, but it was fun!

Our Trips to ScreenPlay Film Festival
On Monday and Tuesday primary 6 and 7 went on two trips to the ScreenPlay film festival. Primary 6 went on Monday to see Revolting Rhymes and on Tuesday primary 7 went to see The Breadwinner. There were two parts in Revolting Rhymes, the first one was about Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood and the second bit was about the Big Bad Wolf baby sitting Little Red Riding Hood’s children.
The Breadwinner was on Tuesday. The story was about a little girl called Parvana and her dad which she called Papa who got taken away to prison for telling his children stories. They didn’t have much money so they tried to sell things at the market. Parvana had to pretend to be boy so she could buy food from the shops. In countries living under the Taliban, women are not allowed to go outside without their husbands. Many of us did not know that. We really liked the animation.
Afterwards, we had a workshop in Mareel. We got into groups and we spoke about how to turn a story into an animation. We drew storyboards for the main scenes.

P7 Robotics
Primary 7 have been learning how to use code to instruct robots to do various tasks. Pupils then made videos of their robots performing different tasks.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
A few pictures taken today of displays from around the school. Thanks to all pupils and staff for their hard work making our school look and feel so festive!

25 pupils from P6 & 7 had a great day in Brae at the annual Hockey Festival yesterday. Â Active Schools organise a superb event where pupils can develop their hockey skills and also get a chance to mix with pupils from many other settings.
Sunshine, laughter, determination, resilience, sportsmanship – well done to all involved, and thanks to Mrs Spence and Miss Murray for accompanying us.
