Designing our own mascots
On Wednesday, after lunch we designed our own Olympic mascots. Some of the boys weren’t there because they were at the football tournament but most of us were there. First we looked at some of the old mascots. The first official Olympic mascot was in 1972 in Munich and it was a dachshund called Waldi. It was a dachshund because they come from Germany. The mascots for London 2012 were called Mandeville and Wenlock. Wenlock was named after the Shropshire town of Much Wenlock which held a forerunner of the current Olympic Games. Mandeville was named after the Stoke Mandeville Hospital, in Buckinghamshire that initially organised the Stoke Mandevillle games which led to the Paralympic Games. The mascots for Rio 2016 are called Vimicius and Tom. After we’d looked at some of the old mascots, we got to design our own ones. It was really fun.
sports day
On Monday the 13th of June we had sports day. We were really lucky for such a nice day. 1st was the 30m sprint for primary 4-7 then. The 20m sprint for primary 1-3 then the next race was the sack race. The next race was the tattie race. After that race was the 3 legged race for primary 4-7, primary 1-3 did the quoit race. Then it was the 3 lap race. Then if you wanted you could do the 8 lap race after that it was the little ones race then the adults race. After that we had a picnic lunch outside in Gotties garding.
Summer Concert
Last night (17th June) it was the Summer Concert. We were down at the hall most of the day practising yesterday. At break time, the fire alarm went off and we all went out to the car park. We stood outside for a while then Mrs Spofforth came and said there was no fire but the fire alarm wouldn’t stop going off till they got someone to fix it so the whole school all went down to the hall. We practiced our songs then P1 and P2/3 went back up to school. P4-7 set out chairs in the hall then we practised some more. In the afternoon we did a whole school practise. At 6.45 everyone came back to school. At 7.00 the concert started. P1 went first. They sang three songs: My Teacher, The Plumber Song and Frere Jacques. Then all the piano/flute/recorder players went. Lucy was playing the flute and Ryan was playing the piano. After them, P2/3 went. They sang a French song and another song I can’t remember the name of. After that, me and Ashleigh played our fiddles. We played the Foula Reel. Evan also played Edelweiss on his fiddle. After the fiddles, P4/5 sang. We sung Old Dan Tucker. After us, some more people played the fiddle. Then P6/7 did their instrumental and Kaitlin and Kara sung Wagon Wheel. At the end, we watched a video about the P7 trip to Aberdeen. The concert went really well!
Move up morning
On Wednesday the 8th we had a move up morning.
Move up morning is when we move up to the class that we will be in after the summer and meat our new teacher and class.
Some classes got to play games and others got to write a story or make a fact file.
Our future teacher is called Miss Sonders. (The spelling might be wrong)
It was very fun.

Mixed Stage Learning
On Wednesday we did Mixed Stage Learning. That is when the whole school gets put into groups and we do different activities in each classroom. In my group there was about 3 P1s 1 P2 2 P3s 1 P4 4 P5s 1 P6 and 2 P7s. After break my group went down to the P1 classroom. Since it is the Olympics this year all the activities we do are going to be to do with the Olympics. First we watched a video on the whiteboard. It was a video of a carnival in Rio, where the olympics are being held this year. The people in the carnival had lots of fancy costumes and masks. After we’d watched the video we started making masks. The shape of the mask was already cut out on card so we started decorating them. We put feathers, sequins and glitter on them. Then we stuck them onto lolly sticks. After we’d finished that then we got to try doing samba dancing. It was very easy and fun! After lunch my group went to the P2/3 classroom. We were making posters about Brazil and Britain. We were split up into even smaller groups then we started researching. We got 20 minutes to research then 20 minutes to make the poster. It was really fun and I enjoyed it. We are doing mixed stage learning again next week.
