take a look inside

On 7th May P5/6 went to Edinburugh zoo for our trip. when we got there we went to the education center we were learning how Animals die with polution, eruptions and over hunting. Then we went to see the animals with the zoo keeper Amy. Then we went for lunch.  After lunch we went in groups I was in Mrs Jallands group. We went to the top of the zoo then we went to the bottom.  After that we went to the monkey hut.  Then we went to the gift shop then we went back to the school.

P4/3 went to Edinburgh Castle on Tuesday 29^th of April. Craig took us round the castle and we saw lots of stuff! It was amazing.  Mons Meg was huge and Cameron tried to pick up one of the cannon balls! The rocks on the side of the castle were grey and heavy.  One of my favourite parts was when we got dressed up in the fancy clothes. They were made from ribbons, silk and lots of other fancy stuff.  My other favourite thing was when the one o’clock gun went off.  It was loud! I jumped! It was amazing and so was every thing else!  By Meighan  

On Tuesday 29th April P4/3 went to Edinburgh Castle for our school trip . We had a guide called Craig and he took us around the castle. We took lots of pictures of all the things he showed us.  We saw Mons Meg the huge cannon and we heard the one O’Clock gun go off after we had lunch.  My favourite part was when we all got dressed up.  I was a lady and had a very pretty dress on.  It had gold thread and I loved it!  We all had such a great day and i would love to go back!  By Neave

The whole of p.6. came together to decide who would go to calender park to compete against other schools. So we had to make something to hold a shoe and a rubber. The man that came in to show us how to do it had to make a ramp. You also had to make the shoe and rubber to stay in and not fall off.

It took alot of hard work to try to get the shoe to fit and the rubber to stay in the right place. You got 1 trial and then you had to get judged.

Charlie and Scott won and the runner ups we Kiera ,Courtney and Katlinn.

Primary 4/3 were visited by a real knight last week called Sir Hugo.  We learned how people hunted food in the Middle Ages and he taught us how to use bows and arrows.  Abby got to wear chain mail and a helmet and she held a sword. She looks liked a proper knight!  My favourite part was when we went outside to shoot bows and arrows.

On wednesday afternoon p3 went down to the hall and so did p4 then we danced the cha cha slide, there were fun games to play. We could guess how many eggs are in the jar, the bunnys birthday and there were tea towels for sale.

P4/3 had their book launch on Wednesday 19th March.  Lots of mums, dads and friends came to the launch to hear us read our fantastic stories!  Primary 3 and Primary 5 dropped by to hear us read too!  We changed our classroom about and everyone stood behind their books and were asked questions about their stories.  It was fun being an authour and an illustrator.  We even had a fancy purple velvet chair with purple tinsel and read our stories using a microphone!   We put lots of effort into our castle books and it was really great to share our stories with everyone. 

 Our Out-of-School Learning Dance Club members will be attending The Day of Dance on Friday 28.03.08.  I’d be grateful if our members could wear a white shirt for the event.  We have Country Dance skirts for our girls and tartan sashes for all our members.  Our boys should wear dark trousers. 

                 We hope to be back in school by approximately 1:00pm so members will need a packed lunch.  They should also bring a water bottle for the event.
