Mareel trip- Revolting Rhymes

Leave a comment

On Monday, Primary 4, 5 and 6 went on an outing to Mareel to see the short film Revolting Rhymes written by Roald Dahl. The film had some twists, turns and gruesomeness to create a collection of classic tales including Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White, Goldilocks and the three bears, Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs.

After the film P4, 5 and 6 went to the auditorium and completed a workshop linked to the film. Everyone worked cooperatively with a partner to create their own revolting rhyme.

As it was such a lovely day P4, 5 and 6 then went to the play park before returning to school.

Scotland topic

1 Comment

This term we have been learning all about Scotland.

First we coloured in and labelled a giant map of Scotland. We have learned about different castles in Scotland then used clay to create our own castles. We found out information about Robert Burns then typed up our own poems using Scottish dialect. We found this a bit tricky. We read some Our Wullie stories and wrote our own Our Wullie comic strip.  We all enjoyed making shortbread and yesterday we finished off our newspaper reports about the Loch Ness monster. P7 are also coming in on Mondays to help us make PowerPoint presentations about Scotland.

Movie maker visitors

Freya Deyell came to visit us last Monday to speak about how to make movies. She showed us a few movies that her and her sister Emma had made. One movie was very spooky but we thought they were amazing. Freya also told us about the importance of making a story board to help with the movie sequence.

Keiba clubb came in to visit today. She has made lots of movies and adverts. We even got to see a secret advert that no one else has seen yet but its top secret so we can’t say what it’s about. We worked with a partner and created a story board using wide shot, close up and mid shot. Keiba is going to come back and see our movies when they are finished. By Ellie and Hector.

Today we watched a video about a Japanese school. In Japan the children have to clean the school and serve lunch.

We learned how to write our names in Japanese. Cara’s name in Japanese translates to (Kara). Amber’s name translates to ( anbaa) and Jonathan’s name translates to (Jonasan).

We really enjoyed our lesson today. By Cara, Jonathan and Amber. 

Making sushi

This term Primary 3/4 are learning about Japan.

Today P3/4 made sushi.

“First Mrs Moffat cooked the rice. We added the rice to the nori sheets then we put tuna on and cucumber. Then we rolled it up. Then Mrs Mouat and Mrs Moffat helped us cut it up into peerie bits and we all tried it. Some people had wasabi paste it was spicy. We thought it was great fun making sushi”.

The Gritter visit

Leave a comment

This week P6/7 went to see the Gritter. It was a very fascinating experience. First when we saw the Gritter, one of the lady showed us the different types of gritt and salt that they put on the road, there was salt, grit, and also a mix between the two! Then we went to see the back of the Gritter. At the back of the Gritter there was a sensor that told the driver it was working. By Sadie, Shay and Shonaimageimageimageimage
