This week the school held the Scottish poetry competition. Three people from each class performed their poem to the school. The entrants from Primary 5 were Cameron Day, Dean Finlay and Fraser Strange. The boys all gave excellent recitals of ‘The Circus’ poem, especially Cameron who received a certificate for first place.
We have been creating posters to advertise the maiden voyage of the Titanic. We discussed information that we would need to include on our posters, for example the leaving date and the price of the tickets. We also thought about designing our posters so that they would persuade people to buy a ticket.
In German we have been learning different animal names. In order to practise these, we have made picture cards that we will be able to use to play animal pairs.
Over the past few weeks we have been learning some Scottish country dances. The dances that we have practised are The Gay Gordons, Strip the Willow and The Dashing White Sergeant.
