Tatties in Spain


One of our class, Tatties, who is mad about motorbikes, and is the current Scottish Minimoto champion, was invited to spend a week in Spain recently. There, he practised with many other young motorcyclists, and he hopes that he did well enough to be invited back again when he is older. Here, you can see Tatties on his motorbike, getting ready to race!



Here, you can see Tatties (number 8) on the racetrack, in 2nd place. He is trying very hard to catch the leader. (Click on the picture to see a bigger version)








This is Tatties in action on the racetrack! He is going very quickly here.







Tatties even took Scotland's other national drink - Irn Bru - to drink while he was relaxing in between races.
It was a hard week, but Tatties said he loved every minute of his racing in Spain! One day, he hopes to race motorbikes professionally.

Friday is rugby day!


Today we had our second rugby lesson. Greig Munro, who is a rugby specialist, came last Friday to introduce us to the game. Today he was back again, and we learned how to make passes correctly, before playing a small game.
The weather was nice and sunny, so we all had fun.
Today has also been Red Nose Day, where children in the UK dress up in red, to raise money for less fortunate children both here and in other countries. If you look carefully, you might see some of us are wearing red, and have our hair dyed too!

We've got mail!


We got a lovely surprise today, when the postman brought us a package from Denmark! The children realised immediately that it was something from Mrs Sieling and her class, so we began to open the package. Here is Sporran, with the first thing we pulled out of the package- a Denmark pencil for everyone.


Here we are with all our presents. We all got a pencil, a Denmark badge, a booklet about Skaelskoer and a huge Danish flag. We are pictured in front of our Finnish flag that Mr Ikonen and his class sent in December!


Thank you very much for all the things we received. The children are all delighted with their Danish presents.
