P2B and P5B Buddy Puppet Show

Mrs Cave and Mrs Maguire invited their P2 Buddy Class to join them for an end of term show. P5B pupils collaborated in groups to write, rehearse and perform playscripts using wooden spoon puppets for their P2 Buddies who loved their Puppet Shows!

P2C and P5C Buddy Puppet Show

Ms Dodds' class were invited to a wonderful end of term puppet show on Thursday 18th December by Mrs McVicker's P5C class. Pupils in P5 worked so hard together in groups to write playscripts - all with a twist on the Red Riding Hood story - create puppets of their characters then rehearse and perform to their P2 Buddies.  Such high quality work: in preparation, group work and performance. And so lovely to see the buddies spending time together.

The stage was set...

The audience was ready...

The actors knew their lines...

And the performers took a well deserved bow to rapturous applause.

P2 Victorian School

As part of our Victorian project, all the Primary 2’s went on a visit to The Victorian School Room located within the school grounds of Leith Primary School. We got to dress up in the school uniform of the time and then we were led into the classroom to experience what life was like as a school child over 120 years ago.  A couple of adult volunteers were dressed up as  Victorian teachers and then led the class. We had to all sit in rows with the girls being separated from the boys. We did a variety of lessons which included maths drill, some reading and a drawing lesson. We also learned all about some of the punishments that were used in schools at that time. A few of us were even “naughty” enough to get the belt or have to sit on the cutty stool. It was a fantastic trip and we learned lots, however we all decided that school life in 2014 was much better and we definitely preferred our teachers.
