Our Christmas Musical December 17, 2008
Posted by kilchrenanprimary in : Uncategorized , add a commentTHE SONGS
We started of singing the songs about four weeks before the play. We had to learn the songs in little bits to make it simpler for the younger ones. Altogether for the second half of the play we learned six songs, (after a lot of practising). Apart from the songs for the play we also learned “Merry Christmas Everyone” and a nutty one called “On Christmas Dayayayayay”. At the end we all had fun learning the songs.

Egyptian Feast! December 17, 2008
Posted by kilchrenanprimary in : Uncategorized , add a commentFor the past few weeks we have been learning about the Egyptians. We learnt about what they did, what they ate , how they built Pyramids and how they survived every day life. On the last week the whole School had an Egyptian feast. You could try quail, mackerel, radish, aubergine, pomegranate seeds, bacon, dates, figs, puff pastries and grapes. For drinks you could try goat milk or ginger beer or if you didn’t like that you could have lemonade or water. In the end everyone loved it.

Newtonmore – Day 3 December 17, 2008
Posted by kilchrenanprimary in : Uncategorized , add a commentOn Wednesday morning we went climbing and abseiling. We hiked for twenty minutes up a hill with ropes and harnesses. Then we traversed along a wall for 5 minutes. When we got to the top we had a rest, then we had two choices we could do the easy climb or the harder one. Once everyone had a go we went to have lunch.After that we all did abseiling so once you abseiled down you had toclimb up again. It was really hard but we still had fun. Then we went back to the centre.

Christmas Panto Trip December 17, 2008
Posted by kilchrenanprimary in : Uncategorized , add a commentOn Wednesday the 3rd of December we went on a pantomime trip. We went to the Kings Theatre, Glasgow, to see Cinderella. To get there we had to go by train. When we got there we walked to a church hall to have our lunch. After lunch we walked to the Kings Theatre which was just across the road.
In the theatre we were sitting in the grand circle. The panto was 2 hours long and there was an interval in the middle. It was very funny and silly. We Enjoyed being high up because we could see everything.
Afterwards, we went to De Maggios for our dinner. The food was very tasty.
We went home on the train and arrived at 9pm.

Posted by kilchrenanprimary in : Uncategorized , add a commentRafting
It took an hour to get to where we were going to start. Ben our instructor told us the commands we would have to know before we went onto the water. It took a while for people to get used to the paddling. There was a big rapid called The Washing Machine. The rapids were big and fast.
Disco
The disco was very loud and lots of funky lights. Everyone enjoyed themselves.
Newtonmore Week – Day 2 September 24, 2008

On day 2 we went canoeing. Ben, our instructor, showed us the basics and soon we were out on the water. First we learned to turn and then we went on a bit of an adventure. We had to go under a tunnel made of corrugated tin using our hands to pull ourselves through. On their way back Ross and Ciaran capsized and got soaked. Ben towed them back to shore.
After canoeing we went gorgewalking. We got absolutely drenched. We swam to a rock and did some jumps. Alfie did the biggest jump. some people got swept away by the current but got caught by our instructor.
In the evening we went to the Inverness Aquadome. There were lots of flumes, The Vortex, The Cyclone and the Lochness Monster. The Cyclone swirled and the Ness Monster was steep, very steep!
