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.

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. Â 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.

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.

 With a key that big, it can surely only be for a castle door! 
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.
P6,7 had lots of fun building their own wood models. We used saws paper and glue to create their models we  thought it was fun and cool. By  Robert And Regan.
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.
“Buddy arrived In P3/4 in a golden box” ( Bobby)
“Buddy came from America and he wants to be a famous film star” (Fraser)
“We are working in groups and going to make our own movies about Buddy. Mrs Moffat very kindly gave us a basket full of clothes for Buddy” ( Bobby)
“Just now we are busy making props for our movies” ( Fraser)
We are so excited to make the movie.
Today P7 came through to our classroom to help the P2/3s do some topic work. Our class split into 9 groups, and with the help of a P7, each group researched a different Viking God. We spent 20 minutes looking for interesting facts, and for the second 20 minutes, P7 showed P2/3 how to make a PowerPoint. By the end of topic time we managed to get all 9 PowerPoints saved for the P2/3s to present in class next week. It was great to see everyone working so well together. Thanks a lot to the very helpful Primary 7s!
As our Viking topic comes to an end here is a selection of photos to show what the Primary 1 and 2 class have been busy doing. Â It includes our visit to Lerwick to see Up Helly Aa, helping to make our own Viking longship which Mrs Nicolson’s son built for us, visits from our very own Vikings and one called Thorfinn Sigurdsson, taking part in Aith Up Helly Aa with Primary 2/3 and making Viking longships and longhouses for our displays in class.
 
This week we did technology. We paired up and we had to make a tower with one piece of A4 paper and one pair of scissors and no tape or paper clips or anything like that. It was fun. Trying to think of how to make it stand up was tricky. There were lots of different designs. By Sadie and Troy
