A Little Bird Told Me

On a cold, snowy night in the middle of winter, little Robin is shivering away wishing she could be somewhere a bit warmer. When a little bird tells her of some exciting news about the birth of a very special King far away in Bethlehem, Robin decides to join a flock of birds flying south to visit the baby. On their way they meet shepherds, angels and wise men and come up with their own unique present for baby Jesus.

Well done to our P1 pupils for their fantastic acting and to our P2 and P3 pupils for their superb singing which helped to tell our Nativity story.

We had lots of fantastic scottish things in our class last week.

We had plaques showing family tartan, scottish food, scottish plants and bagpipes and kilts.

We had Nessie and Scottie dogs and the Scottish flag.

We even had a kaleidoscope which was invented by a Scotsman called Sir David Brewster!

We had great fun designing our own tartan and, for the school assembly, we all made a ‘craw’ and sang 3 craws!!

We danced to Scottish music and we made a procession behind Andrew as he played the bagpipes while we played the drums!!

Last week Primary 7 spent time researching some Scottish Inventors. They learned that Scotland has been responsible for an number of inventions that have made a large impact on the world.

They were challenged in groups to present information to the class about their inventor in a creative way.

Two of the groups decided to make a song about their inventors (Alexander Graham Bell and Alexander Fleming). These are attached below. I’m sure you will all join me in congratulating them on presenting their research in song.

Primary 6 enjoyed their trip to Pizza Express. We got a tour of the kitchens and the storage rooms and more importantly we got to make our own pizza from scratch! We tasted 1 slice……….Okay, 2 slices. And we managed to resist eating the rest until home time.
