This week in p1a we have been learning about Remembrance Day. We found out why we buy poppies and where the money goes. Miss Foote showed us the ceramic poppy display at the Tower of London and we wanted to know how long it would take for us to get there. When we looked on the map we saw how far away it was and that it would take us nearly 8 hours to drive there! We made some poppy art using our finger prints. Take a look and see how fab they are!
P1B have been learning drama skills and how to take on a role. They blasted off in a space shuttle to the Moon this week, as astronauts and cleaned up space junk. 
P4 voted their favourite part of this week as researching The Ancient Greek Olympics, as part of their ‘Ancient Greece’ topic. Â They found out when, where and why the games first began in Greece and learned about some of the rules – for example, no women were allowed to attend!
They were then set the challenge of using their newly learned  information to design a poster advertising the Greek Olympics – photos are to follow once they are completed!
In Primary 2 we have been learning about weather. We created freeze frames of different types of weather.
On behalf of the pupils who were at Dalguise and their parents, I would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Ireland, Miss Armstrong and Mrs McAlpine. Â Without these staff giving up their time …. and leaving their own families for 5 days ……. this outing would not be able to happen ! Â We are so lucky to have staff willing to do this – thanks.
All of P7 visited the War memorial for the schools service on Tuesday 11th November at 11.00am. Â It was very busy and our pupils left the crosses they had named and decorated beside the memorial. Â We also got a chance to look at the memorial more closely – seeing the names that had been added recently. Â Here are some photos of the visit.
All pupils learned about Poppy Day and  we have had lots of creative writing and art work happening in school.  Some photos of the P6/7 challenge are here too.
P4/3 were practising their presentation skills this week. All pupils had to carry out research at home and produce a fact file about our topic Harry Potter. They then had to present their fact file to the class. The fact files were all different and were on topics such as owls, the Philosopher’s Stone and the Harry Potter films.
New information has been posted – see the link on the right to the Rights Respecting Schools section
Primary 3 have had great fun creating their own class book about Owls.
