Hampden

Today P6/7 went to Hampden to visit the Scottish Football Museum. We had a tour our the Stadium and visited the museum. We saw lots of old shirts, photos and even trophies. Some of us even bumped into George Burley. We played table football and Fifa and Pro Evolution on the computers. We also had a competition to see how hard our shots were. Marc won with a 34Mph penalty!

Primary 6/7 have been asked to write a short report on the trip (3 or 4 sentences) and to either email it to me or to post it on the Blog. I look forward to reading these tonight.

Hampden

Primary 6/7 will be going to the National Stadium on Monday. We will be receiving a tour of the stadium and the SFA Museum where they have a section on 1950s and 60s football. We will then have our lunch on the terraces and cross our fingers that Scotland win on Saturday!

Remember to wear trip uniform, bring a packed lunch and some money (if you wish) for the shop.

Creating Characters

Primary 6/7 were creating characters today in story writing. In pairs the pupils were given a photograph of a person and they had to make up the person's name, age, occupation, character and description. They then swapped partners and repeated the exercise. We finished the lesson by playing Guess Who with the photographs and the character descriptions.
