The winner in this category was Lari Don with "First Aid for Fairies and other fabled Beasts" We had voted for "The Eleventh Orphan" but we were happy that Lari Don had won as this was her first book that she had written. After the presentation the lights went out and fireworks were released from the stage, this was amazing.

After the film we all boarded the bus again and we then went to the Verdant Works as this was tying in with our topic on Victorians. Firstly we had to have our lunch. After lunch we saw a film about old Dundee, then we were taken round and shown all the machines that made the jute in the factories in the olden days.  This was very interesting and a big thank you to all the people who kindly showed us the machines and how they worked.  This must have been a very noisy and dusty environment to work in as we were only there for a short while and it was very noisy and dusty. Back then there would have no protective clothing/ear protectors for them to wear. Unfortunately we ran out of time and we had to leave to come home. The journey home was fine but we all had a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Finn And Caroline from Dannsa came to our school to learn us how to do traditional step-dance.

 

On Tuesday 22nd May  primary 4-7s went to Inchbare hall to have the second meeting of their secret book circle, Page Turners Inc. They met with the primary 4-7 children from Stracathro and Tarfside schools. They all had to make a mask of a character from a book and take their favourite story. They took part in lots of book related activities.  

 

 

In the Beetle drive we held on Friday the 1st of June we raised £44.50.
