Funky Chicken

This week we were delighted to win the 'Funky Chicken' trophy for the tidiest classroom. Mrs Holt does a spot check of every classroom and this week we got 4 points! 
We had the author Victoria Campbell visiting the school yesterday. In p6/7 we were treated to a writing workshop where she got us to think about adding detail to our writing.

Here we are after our visit to Kirkwall Grammar School today. We worked with children from other schools in groups of ten to produce  posters about the 'United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child'. We were all impressed by the new KGS building and were excellent ambassadors for St Andrews School, displaying good manners and participating fully.
