Victorian School Visit

We have been learning about the Victorians so we went on a trip to Skene Square Primary School to visit the Victorian classroom. We got changed into Victorian style clothes and headed into the classroom. The Head Teacher, Mrs. Begg, and the student, Sue Murray, were very strict. We did Arithmetic, Writing, on slates, and learnt hymns. Lady Knight-Forbes, Mrs. Gemmell came to test us on our General knowledge questions. We had lots of fun discovering a bit about what it was like to be a Victorian pupil. We all got certificates at the end of the class.

Curling

Along with P.7 we have been attending the Curling Rink, on the Lang Stracht, for a four week introductory Course to Curling. We have been enjoying it and some of us hope to carry on playing out with school.
 

Scottish Chamber Orchestra Visit

A group from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra came to talk, and play some brass music to us.
Their names were; on tuba Matthew, on trumpet, Peter and Sean, Harry on French Horn and Leanne on trombone.
They then split us into groups and we each practiced a piece of a short story, performed with some reading and percussion instruments. We then all got together and performed our piece in front of some of the other classes.
