Nynke was absolutely delighted with the 3 bears cottage. She used the characters and props to retell the story of Goldilocks and the 3 bears to Miss Irvine.

Dig for Victory!
Primary 2 and 3 chose WWII as their topic this term. They have been learning about the home front during the war and how food in Britain was rationed. This was because Germany was torpedoing the ships that brought food to Britain. The British government put up posters everywhere, encouraging people to ‘Dig for Victory’
So many people in Britain grew vegetables in their gardens. Lots of people also built Anderson Shelters in their gardens to protect them from enemy planes dropping bombs. Primary 2 and 3 had to imagine they were living in Britain during the second world war. They had to design a garden that they could use to ‘Dig for Victory’ and also for protection from air raids. Using a variety of materials the children created wonderful gardens. There was a prize to be won for the best war time garden.

Thomas’ WWII garden – The Winner!
Thomas’ WWII garden was the winner. All the gardens were fantastic but Thomas had put a lot of thought into his, especially his Anderson Shelter. You cannot see inside on the pictures but inside his Anderson shelter Thomas had created benches for his family to sit or sleep on. He also put a box into his Anderson Shelter that was filled with essential items his family would need if they had to stay inside the shelter for a while like tinned food, water and toys for the children. The shelter had a door that folded down once everyone got inside and Thomas had grass growing on the roof of the Anderson shelter to disguise it so that enemy planes could not see it from the air. His vegetable plot and pond were very neat. Thomas covered his pond in glue to make it look like water – very clever ideas Thomas, well done!

Reading area
We have got a lovely new reading corner in our classroom. We used some of the money we raised at our Christmas Concert to buy comfy couches and beanbags so that we can sit back and relax as we read our books!

Flag Counter
Today we added a flag counter to our blog. It counts how many people have viewed our blog and tells you what country they viewed the blog from. So far today our blog has had 4 views, all from within the United Kingdom. So we just have the Union Jack flag on our flag counter so far. Miss Irvine has challenged the pupils to see how many friends and relatives from outside the UK they can get to view our blog. We have connections with people in America, South Africa, Cananda, Ireland, Spain, The Netherlands, New Zealand and Australia so I wonder how many flags will be on our flag counter by the end of this week? Let’s see what a useful tool our blog can be for sharing our learning!

On Thursday we had all the children from Ollaberry and Urafirth Primary School here at North Roe School as part of our joint project ‘Around the World’. We were learning all about South Africa, France and the Netherlands. We had some special guest who came into school to teach us about the different cultures. It was a fantastic day, thank-you to everyone who was involved.

The Netherlands
Nynke’s mum Saskia came into school to tell us all about the Netherlands. Saskia is from a village in the Netherlands called Hallum, she brought in lots of beautiful pictures of the Netherlands to show us. The children loved seeing the pictures of the lovely landscapes, tulip fields, canals and windmills. Saskia read the younger pupils a Dutch story, it was great to listen to a story in a different language. The children wanted to hear lots of words in Dutch. Saskia brought in a sweet treat for the children, we got to taste Dutch crispbakes with ‘sugar mice’ on top. The sugar mice were yummy, Saskia said that it is tradition to buy someone a blue or pink box if they have had a baby boy or girl. Saskia showed us pictures of her mum wearing her traditional Dutch dress, she said that the different regions of the Netherlands all have a different traditional dress. We really enjoyed having Saskia in school, thank-you so much for coming in to talk to us Saskia. We all want to go on holiday to the Netherlands now! 🙂

The Gumboot Dance
Joy taught us the South African Gumboot Dance. The Gumboot dance was created by men working in the gold mines in South Africa. The men wore rubber boots (gumboots) in the mines, they were not treated well by their white bosses. They were banned from talking to each other while working in the mines and so the mine workers very cleverly created a way of communicating with each other through coded slaps on their boots and bare chests. This means of communication was the beginning of the famous Gumboot Dance!
