We had a lovely trip to the library this afternoon, thanks to Diane. She came and collected us from school and took us down, where we listened to two stories and sang a Scottish song.
The boys and girls know how to get a library card now and seem to be excited to visit the library during the Easter holidays!
I am extremely proud of each and every one of you in P1M-you worked so hard to remember your lines, words to the songs and the dance moves! You looked fantastic-the excitement of dressing up for Comic Relief didn’t affect your performance. You have absolutely loved learning about dinosaurs this term and wowed your audience with lots of facts and dinosaur information.
Look out there’s a dinosaur behind you!
The ‘Palaentologists’ had lots of fun digging for dinosaur bones and examining them.
The Dinosaur Stomp was very popular with our audience today-maybe you could teach someone at home our dinosaur moves!
Primary 1 recently submitted entries for the above competition – we talked about robots and learned about a robot from the National Museum of Scotland which can spell names!
We have had a lovely email from one of the organisers of the competition. We didn’t manage to produce a winner but clearly the boys and girls in Primary 1 have impressed the judges with their ideas so well done to all of you.
Here is the email from Dr Wicks:
Dear Pamela,
Thanks for all your wonderful entries to the Heriot-Watt Year of Robotics Mascot Competition. The quality of entries was amazing, and our judges had a really hard time deciding who was the winner. In fact, we have ended up with 1 winner, 2 age-group winners, and 18 runners up, from over 1100 entries!
One of our judge’s feedback was ‘First of all: what a tough choice! I mean that genuinely. When the criteria is not just based on functionality, but also originality and imagination and effort/enthusiasm ~ there were so many golden choices and candidates within each category. There’s so many I’d like to mention but it wouldn’t be practical to do so, so do make sure all these children know that they’ve produced some really excellent work!’
We have some other opportunities later on in the year for the children to learn more about robotics, and get involved in our activities. If you think this is something that will be of interest, please let me know and I will get back in touch once activities are confirmed.
Thanks again for being part of the competition.
Best wishes
Laura

P1M have discovered a great place to find out about dinosaurs and play some games. Have a look at home.
Well done to everyone in P1M, I loved seeing your amazing costumes today. I had to explain that I was dressed as Saucepan Man from The Faraway Tree stories by Enid Blyton and that my dad used to read the stories to me when I was a little girl. It is great to see that you love books too and had lots of fun dressing up today.
