This week we have been learning Scots poems and researching famous Scottish explorer and missionary, David Livingstone. The poems we have been learning are: ‘Free Boots’ by Douglas Barber, ‘A Red, Red Rose’ by Robert Burns and ‘Tam o’ Shanter’ by Robert Burns. We are focusing on using lots of expression and varying our tone of voice.

Here are some quotes from our class about our work this week:

“I didn’t know Livingstone died of malaria until now.”

“It’s surprising that Livingstone had a job at the age of 10.”

“I want to find out how Livingstone travelled from Scotland to Africa.”

“I really like Tam o’ Shanter because it is advanced.”

“I like the Scots language in our poems.”

“Come a’ ye citizens tae oor Scots assembly later this term!”

Thank you to everyone who came along and contributed to the success of our Christmas Fayre on Friday.  We raised a grand total of £ 1036.47! This money will go to the PSFA and school fund to pay for all sorts of activities and items over the whole year. We hope you enjoyed the afternoon. Here are some of the photos of the event.

Our hard work is really starting to take shape now… The stage is almost completed and we have one full wall up 🙂

Have a look at our photos below…

After Tuesday (we will be out on Tuesday afternoon as well as the usual Monday), we will be taking a break from our outdoor project until the New Year. The poor grass needs some time to settle, as it appears to be the consistency of cold custard at the moment!

We have also made our distance slab, which Romans used as a record of which Legion created something and the year that they did it.

Unfortunately, Miss McLaughlin broke it when trying to pick it up! We’ll just class the cracks as wear and tear…

Until next time (and year!)

Primary 4 & Miss M 🙂

P6 have had a lot of fun creating their own hand-sewn Christmas decorations to sell at tomorrow’s Christmas Fayre. Not only have they learnt how to sew but they have also been developing their business skills. P6 have taken on roles like Project Manager, Accountant and Marketing Manager to learn how to run their own business.

We have put in a lot of effort so please come along to the Christmas Fayre tomorrow to have a look at what we have on offer!

Mrs Cullum and P6

 

Thank you to Pumpherston Community Council for inviting our school choir to sing at their annual Christmas meal.  We had a lovely time at the Golf Club and we hope your guests enjoyed our singing.

The choir did very well, Mrs Hull, Mrs Campbell and Mrs Andison are very proud of them.

Next stop – St John’s hospital tomorrow!
