Well done to all the children in P1b – great work with learning your Scottish poems and we all really enjoyed listening to you saying them using your big loud, clear voices.  Some of you even added in some actions to make your performance even better!

We also had some special visitors in the school this week – ‘Macastory’ who were telling us about Robert Burns and taught us some fun Scottish songs.  We were all really good audience members and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The children also really impressed Mrs Lloyd with their R.M.E. homework and enjoyed sharing information about who decided on their names, sharing the special gifts that they recieved when they were born and discussing any special celebrations that took place.  Nathan S even brought in his special gift ‘Jingle Bunny’ to show us.  He was very cute!

The dragon has been back again and even left the children a present this time!  He complimented them on the beanstalk that they have made for the classroom and left them some castle books for them to write in so they can keep him updated on what they are working on.

More fun was had with fairyland related activities in the structured play area.

I wonder what you’ll be up to next week P1b…………………………

Well done to P1b today who have worked hard all week on their good manners.  The school nurse even commented on how polite we were when she came in to see us!  This good work was rewarded at assembly this morning when we were awarded the Goblet of Good Manners trophy.  Well done boys and girls, keep up the good work!

Today, the whole school went on a wig walk to raise money for Jak’s Den.  We had lots of fun and even the swans tried to get in on the action!

Lauren liked counting and flying like a bird with her buddies during the walk, Paul enjoyed finding the signs of autumn with his buddy, Olivia liked looking at the leaves that had fallen down and Tyler liked kicking the fallen leaves.

Have a look at some of our pictures.

Everyone in P5B had a great holiday and we hope that you did too.

It has been a very good start to the new term.  This week we have been doing some electricity experiments.  We had to make a lamp light using a battery, crocodile clips and a lamp.  We discovered that we had to make a circuit.

We have also started our new topic, Mary queen of Scots, finding out that she was the daughter of King James V of Scotland and that she was born close to here at Linlithgow Palace in December 1542, over 450 years ago!

We are all looking forward to finding out more.
