Our New P.E Hall
Our New Hall
At Strathyre School we now have a big P.E hall. We used to have to go to Lochearnhead hall to do our P.E every Monday and now we don’t. Our new hall is very big. We do P.E two times a week in it and if it is wet playtimes we go in there and we can either play a game or sport organised by Mrs Keenan, play board games or sit and chat. The school kitchen is in there as well so we get our lunches in there on special tables that fold up and get put in the cupboard after we have eaten. We have lots of new equipment for P.E and class one have been learning hockey with Mr Martin. We now know how to pass, tackle and dribble. It is great having so much space.

Transport in the Trossachs
Transport in the Trossachs
One of our topics this year was Transport in the Trossachs.
We researched this and found out lots of interesting facts. We worked with a partner a senior pupil with a junior pupil all from class 2. We had to choose two different types of transport and make up a presentation to show to everyone at the end of the topic. This is a great way to learn, you learn through what you research for yourself and you also learn when you watch and listen to other presentations. We learnt about the old railway line between Callander and Lochearnhead.At the end of the topic we went through to the Riverside Museum which is the Transport Museum in Glasgow. We went around in our classes and each class did a workshop. Class 1 went to a workshop on boats, class 2 went to a workshop on old transport. We got to look through the museum, it was all very interesting.

Lunchtime Club
Football Club
The football club was a suggestion from Tyler and myself. We made a poster about the football club. P1-3 were on Monday and P4-7 were on Wednesday. We taught the P1-3 class quite a lot of skills. We did dribbling round the cones, shooting, free kicks, penalties and striking. P1-3 behaved pretty well. On the first Wednesday it was pouring with rain we didn’t know if we were going to do it or not. The teachers said we could do it but if it started to rain heavily we would need to stay inside. Luckily it stopped raining and we got outside to do it there were a lot of people. We started off with a game of tig as a warm up and then we did penalties and I was the goalie. We also did dribbling around cones. At the end we had a little match and the yellow team won 3-2. Tyler and I enjoyed holding the club and hopefully we can do it again

Trip To Edinburgh Book Festival
Edinburgh Book Festival
Our school want to the Edinburgh Book Festival. Class two went to see an author called Kaye Umansky. She read breath-taking stories and did great impressions of the characters in her books. After that we went to see another author called Chloe Daykin. Chloe had a really funny assistant. Everyone had a clip board we had to write down how many men we saw hiding in her slide show. She wrote a book called ‘The Boy Who Hit Play’ and it was a fantastic book.
Class one went to see an author called Polly Fader and Emily Mackenzie one book was called ‘Picking A Pooch’ they all said it was a great story and that it was was super funny. They loved the main character ‘Pickle’ who was a dog and the author had a puppet on her hand and she ran around the room with it.
After that we all had lunch sitting outside and then some of us got ice cream. It was a great day and everyone got a book from the book shop.

Christmas Fair 2018
Our Annual Christmas Fair
On December 7th we had our Christmas Fair and raised lots of money for our school fund. Each class had their own enterprise making different things. Class 1 made stained glass effect Christmas baubles, picture frames, snow globes and they baked cakes. Class 2 made Christmas cards, tree decorations, gingerbread men. We had a Santa’s Grotto and served tea, coffee and juice. Lots of parents, grandparents and friends of the school came to buy our things. We raised a lot of money for our funds.
