A very Happy 2013 to all our readers!
Before the Christmas break p7 learned a version of the nativity in French and performed it to p6. We aren't used to speaking French in public and tend to be a bit self conscious yet.
Have a look at the video of the result!
(As we didn't have much time to practice it is not exactly polished!)
Mr Giles has been helping us to set up family groups for drama. We have chosen characters and roles for our family members and given the families traditional Orkney names.
We have been investigating the jobs and chores various family members would have had 200 years ago on a traditional Orkney farm.
When we go on our visit to Corrigal farm museum we will 'work' in our family groups and get some idea of what it was really like.
Our costumes are almost ready and next week we will have our family photographs taken. We have learned that we must look serious and try not to smile too much!
We did a great job of pretending to walk solemnly into church and wait quietly for the minister. It doesn't seem like people had much time for fun in those days.
