Fairburn Tour

May 25, 2009 | | Leave a Comment

On the 21st of May 2009 P 1-7  went to Fairburn for a tour about our topic of Marybank

Today P4-7 took part in a live video link up with the world famous author Anthony Horowitz. This was the first time an event like this was arranged by the Scottish Book Trust and Anthony was in Edinburgh and being beamed to over 200 schools throughout Scotland with a total of over 11 000 children watching. All the schools taking part were invited to submit 2 questions and then Anthony would answer some of them live on air during the one hour link.

Marybank Primary came up trumps and had one of our questions answered which is fantastic recognition of our questioning skills. Well done to Iain M who thought of the question about Anthony’s sources of inspiration for his writing.

Anthony certainly had plenty to say and gave everyone some ideas to help with their own writing.

 

Fairburn Phantom!

This week we were very lucky to have a visit from Mr Davison of Fairburn House who was able to tell the children all about the history of his fantastic home which was built in 1878 and is very grand indeed. P1-7 had lots of questions to ask but were a little disappointed to hear that there is no Fairburn ghost!

Next week we have been invited to visit the house and no doubt everyone will be full of more questions.

Many thanks to Mr Davison for all the interseting pictures and information he brought to us.

On the 12th of May 09 the p4-7 class went to the finger buffet art exhibition in a bus at Maryburgh beside the primary school. It had a series of photography and paintings, it also had some clay models that looked like packets. Adding to that they had some T-shirts in bottles that soaked up the liquid. The art in a bus has been going on for about 30 years, they go on a 16 week block at a time amd have two sessions a year. They had chosen 5 artists to get all the things they wanted for their trip.

The Eco team need 2 litre plastic bottles. We will need at least 1500. Please take off the labels and make sure there is no more juice in them.
example of bottles:Coke, red cola, lemonade.

Thank you
Marybank Primary

On Thursday 23th April James & Leonie went to Dingwall academy  to learn about the harm of bullying and how to stop it  and the P.7s from the 8 schools got introduced by the rector (headteacher) Mr.Mackenzie to  4 short plays of people getting bullied and how they stopped it. As well as that we had to learn the anti bullying song and we finshed off with the song and then we headed back to school.
