This week P4 have been writing their own version of the story Iron Man by Ted Hughes.

The children created their own creature to use in the stories.

The children have been writing drafts of their stories and editing their work before making it into a book.  The stories have contained some fabulous ideas and amazing creative writing.

P4 have enjoyed being authors and reading some of their work maybe we have a future Ted Hughes amongst us.i

Lockerbie Manor Year 6 Residential, by Mr Warner

Date: 29th Jun 2016 @ 9:40pm

After a relatively short journey up here, torrential rain greeted us. But by mid afternoon the sun threatened to make an appearance and the evening activities were actually completed with partially blue skies and some sunshine. An wide range of choices for the evening meal, with steak pie appearing to be the most popular choice. Two activities completed for all three groups with the obstacle course proving to be by far the dirtiest! Sorry parents! 😀

It will be an early night tonight (the teachers hope), but with four activities lined up for tomorrow and an early start, we hope the children will be wanting their beds relatively early. 

More pictures to follow once they all all uploaded onto one device. 

P.S The children really like the pods.

Gold fever in P1, by Miss Fisher

Date: 28th Jun 2016 @ 9:31pm

While Pirate Pete has been in search of his favourite booty, gleaming gold, the children of P1 have been exploring an artist who also had a liking for gold.  The children used viewfinders to focus in on the patterns used in the Gustav Klimt portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer.  They then created their own patterns, using gold paint, which will be collaged together to make own own version of the well known painting.

Some of our Year 5 and 4 pupils took part in the Whittle Cup Tournament yesterday. They were up against teams of Year 6 pupils from other schools.

Rio Olympics- A Sporting Chance, by Mrs Taylor

Date: 22nd Jun 2016 @ 5:36pm

Following our sports week we looked at issues such as whether Rio was a good choice as host city and whether competitors from all nations stand an equal sporting chance when it comes to winning medals.

We finished the session with a debate about these issues.

We will pass their choices on to Sue and Ron Hayes for when they next visit.
