P3/4 this week
This week was very exciting. We had the Rookie Rock Stars in all week and the children loved working with them. We are really looking forward to the concert next week.
We were also excited because we started our new topic about The Celts who lived during the Iron Age. The children discussed and shared what they knew about the Celts and discussed what they wanted to do within the topic. We started by looking at clips about the Celts, sorted a historic timeline and used Atlases and maps to plot where the Celtic nations were in Europe.
We learned about the history of Guy Fawkes, Bonfire night and how to keep ourselves safe. We also learned about Acrostic poetry and used the word ‘Fireworks’ to write a poem of our own. Then we made firework pictures using chalks and glitter paint.

We have been saying prayers this week for the P7 pupil from St Mary’s Polbeth who died in West Calder this week. We have gone over staying safe on our roads. Our thoughts and prayers are with the St Mary’s community.
We are also remembering the people who have lost their lives in any conflicts to keep us safe. We are visiting the Cenotaph on Monday afternoon
We have been loving Rookie Rockstars and recorded our CD this morning. Lots of us feel it’s been the best week we have had at school for a long time!We are now looking forward to the concert next Tuesday.
We are looking forward to Mrs Paterson’s retiral celebrations next week, although we know it’s going to be very sad too.
We can’t wait to go and watch the ‘Sunshine on Leith’ production at St Kent’s on Tuesday.
What a busy week lies ahead!
Can we remind everyone to stay safe and remember the safety rules if people are attending firework displays and bonfires this weekend.
