Horrible Histories - Martin Brown visits

Primaries 4 - 7 were incredibly lucky today to have a visit from Martin Brown, the illustrator of the Horrible Histories books.  He spoke to us about the process he goes through to complete his drawings and also gave us some tips to use for our own drawing which were very helpful.  Martin was a really nice person and signed books for anyone who wanted him to, and he took the time to have a chat with us as he did this, even though he was late for his next visit!

If anyone has any tips or comments, please add them below!

Skara Brae

Primary 4 had a day out on Monday this week when we went to visit Skara Brae.  The morning was lovely - we had bright sunshine and it wasn't too cold.  We split into two groups - each group went on a walk to the village and watched the video in the Visitors Centre, while the other group got some hands on experience with Tony.  Unfortunately at lunch time it became a little wetter and the rain came!  Never mind, we were tough and went to the Ring of Brodgar with the Ranger, Elaine, and played some games.

Even when it was wet and windy everyone had a good time and Ms Rendall hopes they will remember the trip with happy memories!

Number processes

This looks like a really fun website for testing your number knowledge.  Use the menus on the left - Number problems, word problems, number bond pairs and balloons - and then use the menu on the right to choose whether you want to do the activities against a timer or not!  (there are also tabs along the top for some of the activities to change from addition / subtraction / multiplication etc)

Have fun exploring this fun website - Ms Rendall has had fun!!!
