P6/5 visit the Nursery
We went to visit our buddies in the Nursery last week. We took a picture book of our choice to read to them. We had to make sure that we read loud enough for them to hear and we talked about the pictures in the book too.
We really enjoyed seeing our buddies again and we can’t wait for the next visit.

P6/5 visit Hopetoun House
On Monday 14th December we went to visit Hopetoun House near South Queensferry. We went to learn all about Victorians in a stately home at Christmas time.
We all had the opportunity to dress up as servants. We were butlers, valets, footman, bootboys, house maids, parlour maids, nurse maids and scullery maids. We got to act out the different chores that they would do around the house.
” I was a scullery maid. I had to sleep under the table in the Butlers pantry. I wasn’t important” – Emma MacKay
” I was a nurse maid. I had to act out when I was giving Lady Hopetoun her baby.” – Emma McDougall.
” I was a parlour maid. I had to clean the important rooms in the house” – Carla.
” I was the bootboy. I had to light over 100 fires every morning”-James.
” I was the Butler. I had to make sure all the servants were doing their jobs. I had to wear white gloves and run them across the surfaces to check for dust or dirt” – Jason.
In the afternoon we made our own butter. We had a tub of double cream and an equal amount of gold top milk. We then had to churn the mixture until butter had been produced. It was very tasty when we tried it the next day.
We also did some quilling. We used a pheasants feather and dipped it into ink and wrote letters home.
It was amazing and we would all LOVE to go back again. It was the best trip ever.
P6/5 Victorian Christmas afternoon tea.
Today we sat down and had a great Victorian Christmas afternoon tea. We invited Mrs Gibson and Mrs Berginis to join us.
We had a variety of different treats to eat. We had German biscuits, shortbread, cheese savoury crisps, chocolate and orange truffles and Christmas cake. We also had a beautiful cup of English tea.
“My favourite part of the afternoon tea was the shortbread” – Harris
” I tried cheese savoury crisps and I LOVED them” – James
” I loved it. You wouldn’t want to miss it” – Jenna
” I tried German star biscuits and I liked it” – Noah
We enjoyed it so much that we are going to have an afternoon tea again.

Tuck time
Everyday we sell tuck at the beginning of school. Lately we haven’t been selling much so we thought we’d tell you about what we have and why tuck is good.
You can buy:
* biscuits
* a range of fruit – bananas, apples, oranges, raisins, pineapple and melon
* yoghurts
* cheese strings
The items vary in price starting at 10p.
Having a healthy snack at playtime provides us with lots of energy to help make our great brains work. If you buy tuck it helps the school to raise money to buy new things for our classes and our playground.
We hope to see more of you at tuck shop.
The tuck team – Jason B, Jenna and Elise
