On Friday p.5 had there harvest assembly. They had made a poster with harvest in big bright letters. They collected a lot of food to donate to less fortunate than us. They told us a story about the Scottish farmer and the African farmer they told us how the African farmers find it harder than the Scottish farmers to grow crops. So we learnt a lot from the harvest assembly.

This term p7j topic has been ww2.
We have been work on making families, houses and lots more our families are living in Clydebank.
The families are as shipyard workers, bakers and owning companies.
They are living in flats with no toilet because it is round the back and there is only one room one kitchen and one bed
In the year of 1939 the families were very big, so when there was a war they all had to split up from each other.
Then there was the bombing by Germany and the leader was Hitler.

Thanks

Today we decided that it was time to pick the apples in our garden.
Even though it was pouring two brave pupils ventured out to pick the apples accompanied by an equally brave photographer.
They returned to the classroom and primary 7 tasted the fruit. They were bitter and sweet at the same time.

Today we had a theatre group in. It was about Robert the Bruce and William Wallace. It started when they were both little boys and they had wooden swords. They started to carry on. Then there fathers came and broke it up. But Roberts dad took it seriously and then Robert told his dad its okay it was only a carry on so they departed on good terms. Then the next day they came back and Robert and William were playing together again. Then the King of England came and chose a man that wouldn’t stand up to him for the next king of Scotland because he knew Robert wouldn’t stand up to him. Then William and Robert were at war with the king. William got killed just like his father. Then Robert went on to defend Scotland and won the title and thought about William and his dad along the way.
