Hello and welcome to the latest news from P5/4. This week we have:

* Had a HUGE spelling test involving 75 words. It took us a while but we got there in the end! Mr Richards will let us know the results very soon!

* Thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Filmhouse in Edinburgh to see a film version of “The Gruffalo’s Child” followed by readings in Scots of “The Gruffalo’s Wean” by the first Scots Scriever Hamish MacDonald, and a reading in Shetland dialect by Edinburgh Makar, Christine De Luca. It was was also screened live on the Glow website and was watched by other primary schools around Scotland!

It was a very enjoyable morning and we had a great time watching the film, hearing the different dialects and asking lots of questions. Well done to all of the children in Primaries 4, 5 & 5/4 who were a credit to the school!

Please enjoy the pictures below and see you again next week for more!

Below are a few pictures from our Christmas Party and we would like to wish all of our friends and family a fantastic Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes along. Here’s to an exciting 2016! Happy Holidays everybody.

Mr Richards & Primary 5/4 xx

It’s been a very busy week in P4! The children took part in our school Christmas concert and played the ocarina beautifully. Their performance (with P5/4) of Jingle Bells and Rudolph the red nose Reindeer was excellent. Our “spot” was rounded off with wonderful singing of Christmas songs and excellent reciting of Christmas poems. Well done !
We’ve had a great response to our homework challenge and the models, pictures and research pieces are fantastic. Excellent work on Edinburgh Landmarks . Photos of the challenges received so far are attached. Fantastic effort!

A massive congratulations to everyone at the school for their fantastic efforts for the Christmas Concert. The staff and children did an amazing job getting everything ready and the final result was brilliant. Very proud of my own Primary 5/4 who were excellent and gave it their all!

Well done!

Mr Richards
