P6 travel back in time for our Victorian Day.

This Monday P6 traveled back in time to 1900, in the final years of the Victorian era. From the first bell at 9.00am, we were back in Victorian times, showing the utmost respect for all school staff from fear of a whack with the tawse, a leather strap used for disciplining children or the dunces hat and stool for ridiculing any child that couldn't follow instructions.
We started our day in our new seats and a bible reading, as was common in Victorian times. We then went outside for some PE or 'drill' as it was call. After some strict physical exercises and marching we came back in to work on our handwriting.  We learned a poem by recital, as was often done and then split into boys and girls to learn different lessons.
The boys learned technical drawing as might be used in a careen in engineering or architecture.



The girls, however, learned skills to be used in the home like baking and made biscuits instead.

At the end of they day we said goodbye to our Victorian School. We had some fun with making conkers, as they would have played with back then, and had a little tournament. 

What a fun day in P6!

Whoopsie-daisy Angel

Last Wednesday and Thursday, our gym hall was transformed into a theater for the performance of 'Whoosie-Daisy Angel', a pantomime performed and supported by all the pupils here at SPS.

We had a lovely song from the children in our nursery, who sang 'Little Donkey' wearing adorable donkey ears. 

Then, for the main event , we had Whoopsie-Daisy Angle performed by P 1 with singing from P2 and 3.
This retelling of the nativity, told from the perspective of the angel messenger brought us songs, dances and a heart-warming story told.

Our show finished with Christmas carols sung by P4 and 5 and then by P6 and 7, who sang well and gave a great finish to a great show.

Bravo, SPS!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.

There's been lots happening over the past 2 weeks here at SPS to make us all feel a little but more Christmassy.

'Christmas Crafternoon'

To start us off, last Monday was our Christmas Craft Afternoon, or 'Crafternoon', as we began calling it.
Our craft activity was making cards and decorations with scratch paper. While making our own designs on top of snowmen, angels, reindeer, Santas and more, we made some fantastic decorations for home and some for the classroom too.

Christmas Dinner

On Friday we all pulled crackers, read jokes, stuck on our little paper hats and tucked into a lovely Christmas dinner with the rest of the school. Whether or not we were a fan of the brussel sprouts there was plenty to get excited about.
