DRAGONS !!!

New Topic

We all really enjoyed reading the Iron Man and the pupils made some fabulous model iron men of their own, some of them even had moving parts !  Impressive !

After the September weekend we are going to start our new book study called Dragons Breath. It is a fantastic story about a mysterious dragon and I'm sure the children will all really enjoy it and will have the chance to write their own scary stories about dragons. 

To tie in with this topic we will be researching and learning about reptiles so if Mums and Dads can help the pupils to find out any information on this topic that would be fabulous. In addition it would be super if you can find any good books on reptiles that you can bring in and share with the class. So try getting along to the library to see what you can find !

Termly Update : September 2010

This term, we are studying the novel The Iron Man by Ted Hughes and we will base our art, technology and writing on the story.  Our Religious & Moral Education topic is Hinduism and, in particular,  the story of Rama and Sita.  PE days are Wednesday and Thursday so please ensure your child does not wear earrings on those days. Primary 5 teachers would be very grateful if pupils could bring a pencil case to school with sharp pencils, a rubber, sharpener and a glue stick.
Many thanks.
