| On Wednesday 12th May p7a and p7b went to Edinburgh with loads of other schools from Dundee and all over the country. There were over 8 thousand P7 children there! It was for a choices for life event to make sure that we make the right decisions in life like not drinking alcohol under age and not taking drugs. There were live bands playing and there were little stories like Paul's story telling us his misfortune and what happened to him when he took drugs. There was also a live drama performance that really made us think about the effects and consequences of taking drugs and alcohol. | |

| Dalguise We are now back from Dalguise and we all had a very good time. We did all sorts of activities such as the giant swing, trapeze, zip wire and loads more fun stuff. We also went on a long forest walk and the instructors told us stories about what happened in the forest in certain places like the hanging tree or the old ruins of Tim's house. There was a place in the forest called the drop bear forest and in the the drop bear forest you had to have two sticks held at your head and whistle so the bears know there is more than one person so they will not drop on you if you have horns. Caelan said .... "I had great fun at Dalguise and all the activities were brilliant. " This is what Josh had to say about it, "I had a great time but what I thought was the best was the challenge course because we got mud EVERYWHERE and we had to go through the Tunnel Of Doom which was great. I really miss it now" Ross said .... " I really enjoyed my trip to Dalguise, I shared a room with Nairn, Jacob and Caelan. It was really good fun with them at night we scoffed our sweets and drinks . I liked the entertainment at night like cluedo and games ! My favourite and first activity was the giant swing. Me and my friend Matthew went right to the top P7's all had a great time and would love to go again.

| Not long to go ..... The Primary Seven's have been so busy preparing for their show "We'll Meet Again" to be held on Thursday 25 and Friday 26 March at Bonar Hall.

All tickets are priced £6. This is a fantastic production and will be a very enjoyable evening's entertainment. We are all looking forward to it very much but are beginning to get a little nervous.

| Grove Guidance Team Visit On Monday 22 February, the Grove Guidance team came to speak to the primary 7 pupils about their transition up to Grove. Some of the guidance team were former Eastern pupils, they were very helpful and answered all of our questions very well. Lots of questions were asked about all of the different clubs that go on at Grove, such as the footballl club and the Science club and so on. There is also going to be a swimming club which will take place in the swimming pool, that has been newly built in Grove. All of the p7s are very, very excited about their transition up to Grove.

| Burns' Poetry Competition This year to celebrate Robert Burns day each stage of the school, from Primary 1 right up to primary 7, took part in learning a Scottish Poem. Primary 1 The Snawman The Primary 7 finalists were Carly, Fraser, Jon, James and Ruth. The Primary 7 overall winner was Carly. Carly said "I am very pleased to have won this award." Below is all eight verses of Address To a Haggis Address to a Haggis. Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,Great chieftain o the puddin'-race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye wordy of a grace As lang's my arm. The groaning trencher there ye fill, Your hurdies like a distant hill, Your pin wad help to mend a mill In time o need, While thro your pores the dews distil Like amber bead. His knife see rustic Labour dight, An cut you up wi ready slight, Trenching your gushing entrails bright, Like onie ditch; And then, O what a glorious sight, Warm-reekin, rich! Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive: Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive, Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve Are bent like drums; The auld Guidman, maist like to rive, 'Bethankit' hums. Is there that owre his French ragout, Or olio that wad staw a sow, Or fricassee wad mak her spew Wi perfect sconner, Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view On sic a dinner? Poor devil! see him owre his trash, As feckless as a wither'd rash, His spindle shank a guid whip-lash, His nieve a nit: Thro bloody flood or field to dash, O how unfit! But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed, The trembling earth resounds his tread, Clap in his walie nieve a blade, He'll make it whissle; An legs an arms, an heads will sned, Like taps o thrissle. Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care, And dish them out their bill o fare, Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware That jaups in luggies: But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer, Gie her a Haggis! | |

| Anyone for a Dance .... On Thursday 1st October, all the P7 boys went on a trip to the University Dance Studios to take part in a Dance Workshop. 35 boys attended in total! Here is Josh's impression of the workshops .... "At first, we were a bit worried about going because we thought it was going to be embarrassing. However, when we went it was really good. It is very different from any other type of dance as it was creative dancing. We had to pretend to make shapes with our bodies and we also imagined that we were basketball players scoring slam dunks!" "There were 2 workshops with a different instructor. At the end we did a dance off with a partner when we had to pretend we were pirates and do various dance moves as well as shout "Charge" very loudly!" Caelan thought the dance workshops were "very good because one of the instructors was in a wheelchair but that didn't stop her from doing all sorts of dances and really enjoying herself".
