Today, after weeks of practising hard, we performed ‘Little Star’s Story’ to all the primary classes in the morning then all the mums, dads, grannies, granddads and other guests in the afternoon.
Everybody did fantastically well to remember all 8 songs and their lines.
Well done everyone and thank you to everyone who came.
What a busy Monday Primary 3/4/5 have had. Despite chilly weather all pupils were dressed warmly and were raring to go on a very interesting school trip. Â First stop was Mareel where we enjoyed the experience of watching the film ‘A Christmas Carol’ in a cinema with our classmates. Â Afterwards we went into the projection room, here we found out how films get projected onto the big screen.
 
Explaining how 3D films work … and how 3D glasses don’t work if you put them on upside down!

 With a key that big, it can surely only be for a castle door! 
This week we have enjoyed making and playing in our new cake shop, finishing our paper mache space helmets, making oxygen backpacks with junk, singing number songs and our Christmas show songs with Primary 2. We also enjoyed Mandarin with Mr Lei and Fun Fit with Jacqui.
We have been been getting really good at sounding out words using all the sounds/letters we have got so far. We were introduced to Tiger 10 and have written our weekend news on our own.
Next week we will learn our final number from Number Zoo and move on to the next group of letters in Jolly Phonics.
This week we have learned the ‘n’ sound and all about Butterfly 3. Â We have been listening to Roald Dahl’s story of the Enormous Crocodile and enjoyed a pop-up French story about Boucle D’or.
This week we have enjoyed doing Show and Tell, crafting, the morning walk, the playdough challenge, making words with our sounds and drawing with the chalk pens.
Next week we would like to learn how to count forwards and backwards, make some playdough and make it sparkly, learn about Feathery Four and learn some more sounds.
Forget the bat mobile, we at Aith have the ‘vet mobile’!
Thank you so much to Miriam for visiting and showing Primary 1/2 around her vet van. Â We listened to each others hearts and resuscitated a patient.
It is very special to have parents sharing in our learning journeys.
Anyone feeling a little unwell will be in good hands in Primary 1 and 2.
Our hospital has some very good doctors and nurses to help make you feel better. 
 
“You can actually make anything out of anything as long as you try hard and are positive” Liam P4.
I think he perfectly sums up our busy day. Massive thanks to the RSPB, our hardworking volunteers, Early Years, Primary and Secondary pupils who all worked together to improve the outdoor environment around the school – what a difference a day makes!
 
Last week we had great weather, so P2/3 tried to get outside as much as possible. We did maths in the multi-court, learning how to count in 2s and 3s while playing duck, duck, goose! We also chose to do our spelling practice outside using chalk to write on the walls and ground.
Don’t they just look fantastic in their Viking finery?  
Fantastic singing and a skilful demonstration of the cup-song too
         
  
 Angela showed us the original Jarl shield from 1987.  She was the Jarl the following year, perhaps Ruby might follow in her mum’s footsteps one day.
30 Years on and still going strong, Three Cheers for the Walls Up-Helly-Aa!
We love reading stories by Roald Dahl, he is one of our favourite authors. We all had the most scrumdiddlyumptious time celebrating RoaldDahl100!
Can you guess what some of our favourite books are? Here are some clues…Â
