‘A Christmas Recipe’
Yesterday, primary 1 and 2 performed ‘A Christmas Recipe’ with fantastic support from primaries 3 and 4. We had our first practice in the morning and all the Early Years children and primaries 5/6/7 came to watch. In the afternoon the mums, dads, uncles, aunties, grannies, grandads, brothers, sisters, cousins and friends came to watch our performance. We put on our costumes and some of us got our face painted.
We felt excited, happy and a bit nervous but we felt we did a very good job and enjoyed performing it. We worked very hard to learn all the songs for the nativity.
We would like to thank all the staff who helped make ready for the performance, all the mums, dads and family members who came to watch it. We hope you all enjoyed it!
A big “thank you” to our narrators from primary 5 who did a fantastic job!
Mareel trip- Revolting Rhymes
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.
MEGAN AND HARRY’S WEDDING DAY
After weeks of careful planning and preparation, the day of Megan and Harry’s wedding had finally come last Friday. Everybody in Primaries 1 and 2 had a busy morning getting ready.
The guests, ushers and bridal party were ready to go.
Everybody began to arrive at the church.
Followed by the groom, his bestmen, pageboys and father of the bride.
Finally the bride, her bridesmaids and flowergirls arrived.
Reverend Dobby led a lovely wedding service.
Time to leave the church and enjoy the confetti!
We then went back to the school for our reception.
The day was complete with a disco/dance to GTL.
We had a fantastic day and were extremely grateful to Reverend Dobby, Ray and Betty Ferrie and Duncan for helping to make our day so special.
Scotland topic
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.

World Book Day!
Charles Rennie MacIntosh
As part of our ‘Where in the world is Scotland?’ topic we found out about Charles Rennie Macintosh, an artist from Glasgow who was also an architect and designer.
We were inspired by his work and had a go at creating our own rose pictures which we completed just in time to take home on Valentine’s Day.
It is interesting to see how we all used colour and line a little differently, all with beautiful results.
Pancake Day – yum!
Primary 4 and 5 came up with a number of good reasons why Miss Leask should let them make pancakes on Shrove Tuesday – including weighing, measuring, reading instructions, sequencing, team work, co-operation to name but a few ….. how could she refuse 🙂
P.S. They were delicious!
WEEK 3 – PRIMARY 1 – LEARNING (B)LOG
This week we have enjoyed writing using Viking Runes, playing in the galley boat, making clay Viking Longhouses, watching ‘Gudrun: The Viking Princess’ and drawing and painting Viking people.
We have been learning about length and measurement, practising all the phonics we have learned so far, making a toy with Mr Rose which required elastic energy and sharing storysacks with the secondary pupils.
Finally, today we held our toy sale in class. We were really busy organising for the sale and helping set up the class with assistance from Primary 6. The sale was a huge success and we raised £132.20.
Primary 3/4/5 trip to Mareel and Scalloway castle
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. First stop was Mareel where we enjoyed the experience of watching the film ‘A Christmas Carol’ in a cinema with our classmates. 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! 
A little play outdoors before we head home again.
