What makes a fairytale a fairytale?

Primary 1/2 spend the morning investigating fairytales. We wanted to know exactly what a fairytale needs in order for it to be a fairytale.

We began by collecting all of our ideas in our class floor book. Mrs Cree helped by creating a fairytale checklist. We then worked in groups to investigate four fairytales with our checklist.

After a thorough investigation, we decided that all fairytales should have:

  • a baddie
  • a goody
  • ‘Once upon a time…’
  • bright, nice pictures
  • a happy ending

P5 Bake Sale – Friday 25th May!

As part of our school wide project on the Corporal Works of Mercy, our P5 classes have been learning about homelessness over the last few weeks. We have decided to turn our learning into action by raising money to support a homeless charity. We will be holding a bake sale on Friday 25th May. All classes will have an opportunity to come along and buy some of our tasty treats on the day. All the money raised will be donated to the children’s chosen charity, Shelter.
