We are also listening to Scottish Mythical Creatures stories and The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell. We have the last of the Youth Music Initiative (YMI) lessons this Thursday.

On Monday P7 will be at the high school for their first Goblin Car build day. Last week everyone worked really well writing their Scottish myth stories and we will be continuing to edit and finely tune them this week. We have started to create a lovely display in the corridor with our stories and paintings. In science we are researching Scottish scientists, we have to take notes and then use the notes to create short biographies. We have made 3D models of three local mountains with paper mache- they just need to dry so we can paint them. We have also been busy creating a 3D landscape map of NW Sutherland as we are leaning the names of lochs, rivers and mountains in our area. The planet Venus has been very visible in the night sky recently- really bright, quite close to the moon. Look towards the SW and you can’t miss it :) This week : Things to remember… Monday –Mrs Smart teaching (P4-6) Goblin Car project (Ms Lee/P7) P.E. Homework out.
