Hello,
Primary 7 have had an exciting week. On Tuesday we had visitors from the Japanese society. We learned about Japanese food, clothes, games and much more. We enjoyed learning how to use chopsticks and making origami.
As part of the Roald Dahl 100th birthday celebrations we watched Matthew Fitt on Authors Live. Matthew is particularly well known for his Scots translations of Dahl’s stories. He made us think about words we might already know from the Scots language. Some of our favourites included braw, crabbit, dug, and mingin. We discussed some Scots language that we might use at home and also came up with some names for sweeties in Scots.
A number of pupils are not coming to school prepared with suitable PE kit. Please ensure your child has suitable clothing and footwear for doing PE outside.
Next week we will be working on ‘My life so far’ on Friday so please bring it in to school on this day.
Next week:
Monday – Holiday
Tuesday – In service
Wednesday – Children back to school
– PE
Thursday – Residential meeting about France visit
Homework:
No spelling homework next week
Big homework focusing on an aspect of Japan
Thank you for your continued support
Miss Wilson & Mrs Gilmour
