Shadow Puppet Theater








Shadow puppets are easy to make and are one of the most fun ways to bring a story to life in a performance. We made our own puppet theater out of cardboard box and put our characters in front of an illuminated backdrop to create an illusion of moving images...and we tried to make it work!!! So now, on with the show!

A Message From A New Friend, Mr. John Parisi

Dear Ms. Rawya:
To introduce myself, my name is John, and I live in America. I am eighty years old, retired from the Post Office and now would like to write to someone in a foreign country like Lebanon. Lebanon is a very interesting country to learn about. Now that I am retired I can pursue what interest me the most, and that is to write to someone in another country, and to learn their customs etc..
I have much experience with six to eight year olds. Sometimes I go to our school and tell stories to the children. I don't have a picture to send you by computer. If I have the name of the school and the address I would like to write and put pictures in the mail. It is wonderful that you are teaching the children English.Tell your students hello for me, hello, from someone far away. I would like to hear from you.
Sincerely yours,
John Parisi

Spelling Works!


Station "A"

Station "B"

Stations "C" and "D"







Since there are no rules as to when to use 'ie' or 'igh' to make a long 'i' sound, the best way is to do lots of word sorting and playing games which will allow us to see the words spelled correctly.
The boring spelling time is now lots of fun!

Scotland's National Poet, Robert Burns: Mid Calder Primary








Scots around the world celebrate January 25, Robert Burns' birthday, Scotland's National Poet who was born in 1759.
Robert Burns grew up poor, his father did his best to educate his bright and lively son even though not many years could be spent at school. Still, Burns was a reader and learnt not only the ins and outs of his own language, but English as well (and some French). Robert Burns' poetry revolves around country and town life, the life he knew. He published a book of his poems in 1786 and achieved an unexpected success!
Mrs Ghafoor, primary 4 has been working on 'Things Scottish' as Monday was the celebration of Robert Burns birthday.
Mrs Hendry's class has also posted a video to the work of P6B. They designed their very own mini haggis. The poem, Address to a Haggis, by Robert Burns is recited by Jack, P7B and the song A Man's a Man is sung by some primaries sevens.
Thank you Mrs. Ghafoor, Mrs Hendry, and Mrs. Wilma Gordon for sharing with us your slideshow and video and showing us the activities done at school with our friends. You made this day a very special day especially with your amazing research, presentation and the bright beautiful bulletin board display.
