Lewis said, ” We have been learning about money and I have enjoyed giving the correct change to people.”
We have been using lots of different ICT games and Elise enjoyed playing igloo shopping.
It was really tricky to work out what coins we needed but we kept practicing and eventually we got it.

We have had Alex from the Youth choir this week to sing with us and this has been great to continue the work that Karen does with us on Monday afternoon.
We are learning to count on and back in twos. We are linking this to the 2 times table.
Alasdair and Adam kept on working!
Stephanie was a bumble bee in the pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She said it was fun. Well done Stephanie!
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.
Primary 3/4 and Primary 7 have been working together to develop skills of debating. As a group we all decided that the main skills that we are developing are listening, talking and respecting others ideas
and thoughts.
” We have been having great fun and we love to share our opinion with others.” Angeline said.
Ross said he loved designing and making the clothes for the washing line debate that we will be having next week.
We will keep you posted of how future debates go.
The staff would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year – it is great to see the children back and all eager to learn.

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.
P3, 4 & 5 had a fabulous time at their Christmas party, lots of games, party food and dancing. Have a look
at our photos to see the fun and games!
