There was a visitor in the Primary 1 classroom at lunchtime. We had no idea who it was, but some of us thought we heard footsteps and a door closing.

The visitor left us a letter on very , very old crumpled paper.

We have a mission! We have to help Archie the Archeologist find out all that we can about dinosaurs as he has forgotten his notebooks!

We know lots of dinosaur facts already, such as that they are extinct. This means that we don’t need to worry about finding a real one in the class! We know that some had long necks and some had spikes to protect them. We are going to find out lots more to help Archie!

One of our pupils visited Broxburn Library and shared her new books with the class. Some of the children have been already. They tell me there is a train in the library !! If you join you get your own card and you can take out as many books as you want!

Here are some more Whirry Bangs for you to look at. We are enjoying seeing them, and hearing all about how the children have designed them and what materials they have chosen.

We each received a little piece of paper with part of Robert Burns on it then we drew it on a larger piece of paper.  Then we painted our piece of Robert Burns.  We painted it with little sponges to create bumps and texture – some pieces were harder to paint than others! Then we finally pieced it together and displayed it at our school assembly at the back of the hall. 😀😀😜😜

Two of the children proudly showed off the Whirry Bangs they had made at home. They were excited to tell the rest of the class what they had used and why they had chosen the materials.

We can’t wait to see the rest of the Whirry Bangs which the children are making.
