P2-5 spent an exciting day at Stirling Castle. The sun was shining and the day was spent learning about Mary Queen of Scots and James V, as well as searching for features of Medieval castles. On their return, they used the photos they had taken on the iPads to create informative Comic Life displays, ready to share with their families at the Castle Open Morning on Friday.

Today we held the final of the ‘Scottish Poetry Recitation’ competition, where 3 pupils from each stage were judged by a panel of 3 adults, who included Mrs Allison, Mrs Caddel and Mrs Stanners.

It was a tough decision to make as all the pupils had obviously put a lot of effort into learning these Scottish poems.  The results were:

P1

1st: Lauren 2nd: Jacob 3rd: Will

P2

1st: Silvana  2nd: Grace 3rd: Mackenzie

P3

1st: Kyle  2nd: Emma 3rd: Murray

P4

1st: Iona  2nd: Krista  3rd: Logan

P6

Thank to all the pupils who took time to learn these poems and to their parents for helping!
