Portsoy Primary School

I spent a whole day at Portsoy Primary School. We listened to readings from Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach and poetry about summer from various titles. We tried our hand at a bit of creative writing and even a little artwork. One class wanted to enter the short story writing at the Buchan Heritage Society's annual festival, so we did some Doric writing, too. The children were very well-behaved and enthusiastic and produced some great work.    

Comments from  P3,4 & 5

'I enjoyed learning Doric today.'

Declan

'I had fun writing my Doric story'.

Caitlyn

'I enjoyed today and got a big scare when I saw the spider on the hat I picked out of the box.'

Leah

'It was really fun and I learned a lot.' 

Justine

'I liked writing in Doric - my story was longer than usual.'

'A brilliant, entertaining morning. I was impressed by the amount of work the children produced. I think the children were amazed at their own work, too. Thank you!

An exciting afternoon. The children listened really well to all the stories - they couldn't get enough. There were requests from some of the children for me to buy Debbie's books. They also had good fun writing and reading their poems. It would be lovely if you could come back to see us again. I know the children would love it.'
