Breadwinner

Leave a comment

On Wednesday 29th August, the Primary 7s went to see a film called Breadwinner.

It was about a young girl called Parvana who lived in Kabul, the capital of  Afghanistan, in around late 2001. Since she is a girl, she does not have the same rights that boys have. When her father is taken to prison, she cuts her hair, and pretends to be a boy, so she can be the breadwinner for her family.

It was a very heartwarming film and it made us realise how lucky we are, and that we should be very grateful for what we have.

Emmy – I thought it was a very good film and the animation was beautiful.

Ronan – It was very interesting and it made me feel lucky for what I have.

Junias – I would give it 4/5 stars.

Tryphena – I thought it was very moving.

Thank you for a Perfect Final Day

I would like to thank everyone at Dunrossness for a fantastic last day. From start to finish I had a lovely time.

Primary 6/7 – you are all stars! Thank you so much for the surprise party and wonderful cake.

I can’t thank you enough for all the lovely gifts and cards you gave me- I am extremely lucky and will treasure them all.

As for all my colleagues-how can I put into words how touched and appreciative I am for the lovely and thoughtful ways you came up with to celebrate my time at Dunrossness and say goodbye.

Your versions of Allan Ahlberg’s poem ‘Please Mrs Butler’ and the wartime song ‘Pack Up Your Troubles’ were so clever and more or less summed up my teaching career. There were very emotional to listen to.

Mrs Henderson-I was really pleased to receive  a good  ‘school report’ from you and P6/7!

Thank you all so much for the beautiful gifts you gave me, each one carefully chosen to bring back happy memories of my time at Dunrossness.

A special thank you to Peter Wood for the wonderful tune he wrote, recorded and played for me at my final assembly. It is a beautiful tune and I feel extremely honoured.

Finally I would like to say what a pleasure it has been to teach at Dunrossness this last 30 years, and this is due to the wonderful children, supportive parents and fantastic colleagues I have met and worked with over the years.

Thank you everyone for a fantastic send- off.

A Big Thank You from Mrs Hay

I would like to say a huge thank you to the P6/7 parents for the beautiful gifts and flowers they gave me at the Leavers’ Assembly on Friday. It was such a lovely surprise and very much appreciated.

It was extremely generous of you all and I am very touched by your kindness.

The earrings and necklace set are lovely and a perfect choice and I am looking forward to choosing a picture which will bring back happy memories of my P6/7 class.

Many thanks to you all

Sandra Hay

P7 Leavers Assembly

On Friday afternoon we did our final assembly. We each showed some of our special talents. Some people played musical instruments or sang a song and others showed a video of their skills. The P6s did a little presentation to say goodbye to us! At the end we preformed a song that a group of people wrote especially for the assembly called ‘As The Years Go By.’ Then Mrs Henderson and Mrs Hay gave us a little present, it was a great way to say goodbye! We all had a really good afternoon. By Emily and Eve

Here are some photos from our assembly.

Even some parents were given leaving certificates!

 

 

 

 

 

Staycation-Geocashing in and around Spiggie

1 Comment

On Monday the 11th of June, the four P7s went Geocashing at Spiggie beach. We had a lot of fun doing the Geocashing. Once we found the box, we took an item from the box and put an item back. Then we went on the big Spiggie beach and we all climbed a sand hill. Then AJ surfed down the sand hill and Zara, Lauryn and Bertie came down the hill too. Finally, we went back to school.

I really enjoyed skimming stones and climbing the sand hills. It was great and fun I think everyone else enjoyed it too.  – Lauryn

I had the most fun in a very long time, and would be really keen to do it again sometime soon. – Bertie

I really enjoyed the day. -AJ

Staycation- Getting Creative

1 Comment

On the 12th of June, Lauryn Bertie and Zara drew some pictures and the library windows. They printed off some pictures and stuck them on the outside of the windows. Then they traced the pictures with chalk pens and coloured some of them in. The finished pictures were amazing and they also had lots of fun with it.

I’m really happy with how it looks and I also had a great time. -Lauryn

I thought that doing Art like that is really fun, and other people should try it as well.    Bertie
