Photo a Day S – Scottish Poet
Jan 16th, 2012 by Mrs V
Our famous Scottish poet is Robert Burns.
Robert burns wrote many famous Scottish poems like To a Mouse and A Man’s a Man For a’ That . Rachael brought this book in which has all his poems and songs.
Every January we celebrate the life of Robert Burns by learning Scottish poems. We have a competition with Carron Primary. In Primary six and seven it needs to be a Burns poem. Today we listened to some people on a website who read his poems.
We got to choose two of his poems to take home. Last year Carron Primary won, but we’ll try to win this time!
We’ll let you know.

Our Treasure Trail Box
In our class we have a point system. Every time a pupil gets 20 points, they get a reward out of our treasure box. The box was empty but thankfully lots of very kind shops and the library gave us some items for it. For example the Co-op , Spar (Aleena’s mum’s shop) Tesco and the Library gave us some great items like pencils, pens, rubbers, rulers and lots more! Also Melissa , Chloe both gave things in. The whole class are writing letters to the shops to say thank you. The library gave us books so we decided that they are worth 40 points. Most people have got to the 20 but others are still trying.
Here are some pics of it
This is the box that louise brought in Thank you louise. 
The library gave us books and pencils. Thank you Larbert Library . :)
Tesco’s gave us theses rubber’s and lots of pencils. Thank you Tesco’s.
This is the box with everything in it. Thank you to everyone that denoted to use. Again A huge THANK YOU

Mary Queen Of Scots was born on the 8TH of December 1542 . She was also known as Mary Stuart or Mary 1st of Scotland . We found this picture on flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3450316006/

Mrs V remembers a nursery rhyme about her that she used to sing in school but she can’t remember all the words. It has “Mary Queen of Scots had her head chopped off” in it. If anyone knows the rest of the rhyme, please let us know what it is.

Photo A Day – P for The Pineapple
Dec 14th, 2011 by Mrs V
The Dunmore Pineapple is in Dunmore Park. It is said to be the “most bizarre building in Scotland”.
It is a summer house built in 1761. The prickly pineapple is 45 feet high.
There are 16 acres of gardens with an orchard and it has been restored by the National Trust for Scotland.
It can be rented as a holiday home!
Some people in our class have been there. We asked them what it was like and they all liked it.
Owen L has been inside it. He was there with his mum and the rest of his family. He said that underneath it there are two sets of stairs but that’s all he remembers.
This is a picture of it. We didn’t take this picture. We got it from flickr. Here’s where we got it from

Photo a day O for Oats
Nov 29th, 2011 by Mrs V
Oats are something that grows from the ground.
In Scotland, oats are made in to porridge and we eat it for breakfast. I don’t eat it but my Little brother does. My mum pours the porridge in a bowl and then she pours some milk in then she puts it in the microwave.
Today was asked everyone in the class if they liked porridge but only some did so we done a survey to see what they like in their porridge. Most people liked milk and sugar. One girl’s sister likes salt and the rest like yogurt. But Mrs V likes honey.

Hello this is two origami Nessie models. Nigel made them out of paper.
Modern interest in Nessie started in July 22, 1933 when George Spicer and his wife saw ‘a strange form of animal’ cross the road in front of their car.
Nigel will tell you how he made the Nessie model.
Hi I am Nigel. Our teacher found how to make an Origami Nessie on the internet. She told me to try and make it. I used paper, scissors and pencils. Here is a video showing how it was done.

“L” for Larbert High School
Nov 4th, 2011 by Mrs V
We are Carronshore Primary School pupils and we will be going to Larbert High School in 2013.

Aleena : “What is your favourite subject?”
Maryam : “My favorite subjects are English and History as I find them interesting.”
Question 3)
Ross: “How many subjects can you have?”
Maryam: “Well in First Year you get a variety of subjects. In Second Year you choose eight subjects for your standard grades and you do these courses for over 2 years. Then in Fourth Year you do 5 Highers and also do these for 2 years. It’s pretty confusing! There’s a lot more to it, but don’t worry, i’m sure you guys will get the idea soon!
Question 4)
Aleena: “Is the playground big?”
Maryam : “Yes! It is pretty big! There’s a lot of areas where you can go!”
Question 5)
Ross: “Is maths good at high school?”
Maryam: “I don’t really like maths. But it is quite good! You may find it fun ”
Question 6)
Aleena: “Are the classrooms big?”
Maryam: “Yes! There’s all sorts of classrooms for different subjects. Like for example, there are science classrooms, maths, english, history, geography, art etc! It really depends on what subjects you are doing.”
Question 7)
Ross: “How big is your P.E hall?”
Maryam: “There are 4 P.E halls! They are all pretty big. They also have a table tennis room and a swimming pool area.”
Question 8 )
Aleena: “How long is playtime?”
Maryam : “Break time is for around 11-15 minutes i think! Lunch is around 45 minutes”
Question 9)
Ross: “Was it scary the first time you went to high school?”
Maryam: “It was pretty scary i have to admit. Was worried i would not get a long with a few people and get lost. But after time, i became used to the school and met a lot of lovely people!”
Question 10)
Aleena: “Is Art fun?”
Maryam: “I had Art in First Year. I enjoyed the writing bit in Art, but i HATED drawing as I am the worst artist in the world haha! But you may enjoy it! Everyone likes different things!”
We enjoyed having Maryam here this week! Thankyou for answering questions!
A little message from Maryam!
“I really enjoyed working at Carronshore Primary School. It was fantastic seeing everyone all over again. I enjoyed meeting and helping all the pupils here and i think i will really miss it… all over again! I hope Primary 6V have a great 2 years at Carronshore Primary School and i hope to see you guys soon in the near future at Larbert High School! Good luck

This is a picture of me modeling a Kilt .The Kilt is a Knee - length garment with pleats at the rear,Originating in traditional dress for Men and Boys in the Scottish Highlands of the 16 th Century.Since the 19th Century it has become associated with the wider Culture of Scotland in general, or with a Celtic heritage even more broadly .It is normally worn on Formal Occasions like Highland games and Sports events.The Kilt was invented during 16th Century and a man called Tomas Rawlinson the man was a English Quaker.Also on the Scottish Kilt is a Sporran(the word Sporran is Gaelic for a “purse”. A true Scotsman does not wear anything under his Kilt !!! A Kilt is made out of a fabric called Tartan,Tartan is normally the colours Red,Black and little streaks of Green.Also a man who wears a Kilt should also wear knee-high socks. This is me modeling a Kilt from the Back. By Chloe J

J is for janitor. Our school janitor is called Mr A. He runs the football team, locks the school up at night, puts the salt down when it is snowing and he checks the school during the holidays. Mr A rings the school bells and he rings the fire bell when its a fire drill .He is one of the best janitors in the universe .
He plays jingle bells on the school bell at Christmas . In his office he monitors all the school keys. He opens the school in the morning for all the teachers. He cleans up the packed lunch hall . He also is a school nurse. He is a litter picker with pimary 2 and 3 . He also makes us laugh.:)

Photo a day Irn-Bru for I.
Oct 27th, 2011 by Mrs V
I is for Irn-Bru. Irn-Bru is a Scottish drink and was made by the Barr family who were from Falkirk where we live.
The reason Irn-Bru was made is because Irn workers were dying of the amount of beer they were drinking as it was very hard work.In Australia although it is exported from the UK it does not contain caffeine or quinine,so it tastes different.
The reason Irn is in the name is because it was made for people who work in Irn works.It is believed that Irn- Bru has actual irn in it.

Our Eco Garden
This is our eco garden it used to be very bushy. Until about last year when it cut down. Now it is sometimes used as an outside classroom. Eco is about helping to keep the school clean from litter. we recycle paper, fruit and we use litter pickers to keep the playgrounds clean from rubbish.
Sometimes when its warm weather we go inside the eco garden.

I chose E because of Edinburgh Castle. In 1312 Bruce’s nephew, lord Thomas randolph, set siege to Edinburgh Castle the siege went for a long time without success. I got this out of a book about Robert the Bruce. We learned about him when we were finding out about the Wars of Independence.
It was built on a volcano. .

Photo A Day C – Carronshore School
Sep 21st, 2011 by Mrs V
By Olivia and Aimee
We asked Mrs W, our class helper, what she knows about Carronshore School. The school opened in Easter 1976. There was a fire in the kitchen on the first day and all the pupils had to go outside.
The cooker had been wired together wrongly!!
The nursery building was joined to the school and three classrooms added in 2000.
The school used to have a quadrangle in the middle. This was roofed and made into a gym hall.
Photo A Day (B) Is for badge!
Sep 16th, 2011 by Mrs V
This is the second day of photo a day.
The badge was designed by pupils of the school.
All the symbols on the badge are part of things that were made in Carronshore, or industries from the village.
We had a fishing fleet, rope works, coal mines and of course the famous Carron Works who made cannons for the Duke of Wellington.

Photo a Day – “A” for Scottish Art
Sep 14th, 2011 by Mrs V
By Adam R and Nigel C
We took this picture because when we were in Primary 5 we were learning about The Wars of Independence.
In the 14th Century Scotland didn’t want to be ruled by England. We wanted to be a single country to live in peace and quiet.
In Art we used chalk pastels to make pictures of two of the people of the time. They are Robert the Bruce and William Wallace.
