Mock Wedding

On Thursday 10th June Primary 2 went to the Cathedral to perform a mock wedding. We have been learning all about weddings as part of our RME work this term.







We picked names out of a hat to decide who was going to play the different roles in the service.

Here is the Father of the Bride and the Bride ready to go down the aisle.

Our Minister did a super job of the service!

Everyone enjoyed taking part in the mock wedding service and found out a lot of new information about weddings.

Gumleaf arrives at Glaitness

We were all very excited to arrive back at school after our Easter holidays to discover a parcel addressed to us. It had come all the way from Australia and contained a very cute and cuddly koala named Gumleaf who is going to be staying with us for the term. He had brought some lovely gifts with him and also some letters from the boys and girls in Australia. We can't wait to each get the opportunity to take him home with us for a night. Keep watching for updates on his adventures.

Sounds around our School

This term the topic in Class 2 has been Sound. They have been collecting sounds around our school. Can you tell what they are?

Look at the slide show to help match sounds to activities.

Does our link school in Australia have the same sounds around their school?

Peter Puffin prepares to leave.

Before Peter Puffin sets off for Australia he is helping the Class 2 children with their writing. Each letter will be put in the parcel with Peter and sent off to Australia

Will he help the children at Old Orchard Primary School to write replies?

We hope so!
