Nativity Performance!

 

What a show!!

The boys and girls of Primary One and Primary Two were very excited to finally put on their performance of  Whoops-a- Daisy Angel for our audience. After weeks and weeks of practise, our big day had finally come… the costumes were out and the microphones were on… well most of the time anyway!! The children said they all enjoyed putting on the show and we hope you all liked it.

 A big thank you for all of the messages of support and encouragement we have had for our performance.

Brilliant Buddies Book Review!

For three weeks now, P6 have been reading with P1F. We have shared a variety of books from the Scottish Book Trust. We have read Jumblebum, Paper Dolls and What’s the Time Mr Wolf?

We have been doing lots of exciting things with our buddies, like reading and writing our own book reviews. ‘It was a pleasure to read to them’ said one P6. We feel that this has developed our confidence when reading out loud. One of our P6’s said ‘it has build our confidence to read better to them!’.

Some of the P6’s went down to the language centre and wrote our book reviews with the children in the language centre. We used our creativity and also evaluated the three books.

We can’t wait to read to our buddies next week!

Comenius Visitors

Murrayfield Primary School welcomed teaching staff from across Europe as part of the British Council Comenius Project.  Primary 7 pupils escorted the visitors around our school on a ‘Learning Walk’.  The visitors from Austria, Bulgaria, Italy and Poland were very impressed by all pupils and learned lots about Curriculum for Excellence and the Scottish Education system.
