On 1st December, Primary 1 
were visited by award winning author, Linda Strachan and one of the main characters of her books, Hamish McHaggis. This marked the end of a Scotland project in which Primary 1 followed the adventures of Hamish and his friends as they travelled around Scotland. The children learned all about Scottish geography and our folklore and traditions. The children enjoyed recreating different Scottish landmarks in the P1 classrooms to help celebrate the journeys which Hamish had made. Linda brought the latest adventures of Hamish to life as she read the story of ‘Hamish and the Lost Prince’. The day was made complete with a hug from Hamish himself and our rendition of ‘Coulter’s Candy’!

Social Studies: learning about the Stewarts
Using play dough, we modelled coins as the ones used at the time of the first Stewart kings.
The castles are built (and destroyed) in a day.
On Thursday, the children in p6/7 got to work in their groups building the strongest castles they could. They used a range of construction materials from school and brought in materials from home to help them. Here are photos of their castles before we attacked them. Which ones do you think survived the attacking army?

Primary 6/7 are Medieval Castle Builders!
Primary 6/7 are busy designing and planning their own castles. Working in small groups they have to design and build a castle which will withstand enemy attack… also known as Mrs Livingstone with sponge balls and beanbags! Here are some photos of us during our planning session. We’ll post photos of the final models in a couple of weeks time.
