take a look inside

We’ll be back soon, on the 18th August to be exact!  Enjoy your summer.

Primary 3 made lots of profit from their enterprise recipe book and decided to buy a doughnut maker for the school. We followed the instructions carefully and the doughnuts tasted delicious!! Yum Yum!! We can’t wait to make them again next year in P4!!

Some Word Imagery from our Myst Writing:

The watery lagoon was like a Sherlock Holmes mystery waiting to be solved.

The steep stone steps were as jagged as the blades of a knife. 

The creepy man was like the devil sneaking down the stone steps. 

The house was like a jungle waiting for the zoo to come alive.   

The dragon’s teeth were like a volcano bursting through the rocks.

The mini solar system was like a fire burning through my eyes.

The golden desert was like blocks of gold piled up in the sand.

The sea was as silent as a mouse creeping into the darkness of the night.

The lift was like a gun shooting up into the night.

The sea glimmered as the devils horns shot up through the rocks, on the rocky bay.  Giant mountains of rocks like stepping stones lay in the water.  As I walked down the slippery, steep, stone steps going further down leading to a bridge over a watery lagoon.  I could see another devils horn shooting up out of the silent lagoon, into the light as I crept into the empty house as I squeezed through the stain glass door.

Once I went in, I had a garden in the room complete with a small bridge.  Giant black cobwebs barred my way.  I made my way up and it was like I was inside a hollowed out tooth. This was never ending it just crept into the darkness. It was like a dungeon of questions.  I opened the Furness and pulled a leaver then it shot up like a gun shot just fired.  As I took a look at all the leavers and tried to figure out how to work them the dungeon of puzzles came alive.  When they opened up there were tiny planets for someone to follow.

I found myself in the laboratory of a mad professor. Strange body parts of an animal were hung out of a giant snail shell, an experiment gone wrong. Intestines sprawled all over the desk like small ropes. Then the lift came back down and as I stepped inside it began to move upwards. I was petrified as I arrived up at the next level. As the man reappeared my heart started to race. Then he disappeared. The lift started to move and go back down. The door was locked and then it re opened and I sprang out.

We raised over £235 with our summer fun aftertoon.  We had beat the goalie, face painting, and much much more.  It was great fun.  Thanks to the Parents, Teachers, Support Staff and Pupils who helped make this such a fun time!

P7 have been working on animations as part of RME and Health.  David an animator came in and helped us.  There are more on our flickr site.  Not all have sound, as we had a few technical problems!

On Friday we had our Inter house quiz.  Antonine won by just two points.  Miss Nichol and Miss Finlay had arranged lots of fun rounds, with Mrs McPherson being the quiz master!  There were some embarassing photos of teachers, music, general knowledge and a test of what we had learned.
