Our Pupil to be proud of Luke wrote this excellent review of the panto last term. It shows many of his qualities which the class admire.

It was a very good show and I am sure everyone in the school enjoyed it. My favourite part was probably the Scarecrow because he’s funny and he acted it out very well. My favourite part was when the lion started dabbing. I like the fact how the actors don’t forget about the teachers as well. The evil voice was very tricky and they nailed it. I think they could have got more people because they had to keep going out and back to stage. I think they should have included the enchanted forest because that was a really good part of the story. I enjoyed it because it was well acted and a very good story and didn’t muck things up. They should of really included the hot air balloon but you can’t always get what you want in it because it is quite dangerous. I think Dorothy should have done a curtsy.

If we have a dice we can make a game!

What else can you do with this musical instrument?

 Make a water slide!

A high wire for a puppet.

Or a limbo line!

. 

We made or own musical instruments too.

Which will roll fastest? The answer was a surprise!

How many ways can you wear a scarf?

Can we light a light bulb without wires? What happens if we tie balloons to them? What can we taste if we crumble biscuit into the water? Can we make a home for a shell? Or maybe its a bird house or a bird feeder?

So many questions to answer!

Mrs Brown sent P2/3 a closed box with something inside.  We pass it round the circle and each person gives the box a shake. 

Chloe, our dojo winner opens the box and shows us all our items.

We touch, feel, shake and investigate our items.

We each took a turn to share our creative ideas.

Emily’s idea got the most votes so we made a pinata.  We each added a triangle to make a star pinata.

Now comes the fun part.  We hung it up and each of us bashed it.

Euan was our final destroyer of the pinata.  P2/3 had a fantastic afternoon sharing their ideas to all create a pinata.  Excellent teamwork P2/3.

What a fantastic afternoon we had yesterday with a visit from the Taiko Drumming group. The whole gym hall vibrated with the sound of the drums. They were very loud indeed. Primary 6 will continue to work with the drumming group over the next few weeks. I look forward to hearing the results!

A very Happy New Year to all staff, parents and pupils. I hope everyone had a happy and restful holiday. It’s great to be back in school and this week I will be spending time in all of our classes.

A reminder that this Friday, January 6th is our Dress Down Day – £1 for each child.

Our Recorder Group perform for the first time in front of an audience at assembly.  They were absolutely fantastic – well done girls!

Building on the earlier work of Rookie Rockstars, it’s great to see the children enjoying singing the songs once again – ‘Let’s All Be Friends’  was the chosen song, and their expressions say it all!

Thank you for all your support and good wishes over the last year…

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Our Primary 7 pupils are leading the music and dances for our Primary 4 and 5 party today.  This is a great opportunity for them to transfer their newfound DJ skills from earlier this year.   Primary 4 and 5 are enjoying this experience.
