The Innkeeper's Song

The Innkeeper

My life is getting very very busy.
My house is very,very full.
We've all been getting in a 'tizzy',
We've not got any room at all.

Everywhere around me
Visitors surround me,
Happy to have found a place to stay.
All the girls and boys are
Making such a noise
They're getting in my way! ( Hey!)

Woodhill Primary Wins Technology Challenge

We are delighted not only to have won the Scottish award for the prestigious UK- wide technology competition" Make IT Happen", but also won first prize for the United Kingdom.
The competion recognises primary school technology projects led by nine - eleven year olds which are helping the school or local community.
We at Woodhill wanted to integrate technology across the curriculum and use it to establish links with other schools in Scotland and abroad.
We encouraged students to develop podcasts and blogs which could be used as learning materials.
Material was created to support French and English lessons as well as wider issues such as health and globalisation. Parents were given information about the blogs and encouraged to view the information online.
This was also shared with partner schools in Scotland , England, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic and China.
We were invited to London in October to receive our £3500 prize from the Speaker of the House of Commons at a special awards ceremony with MPs in Westminster.

Tourism in Scotland by Primary 6

We were doing a project about Scotland and we explored tourism in Scotland.
These are some posters we made to encourage tourists to visit Scotland.
Would these make you want to visit our beautiful country?

Primary Seven's Assembly by Caitlin (P5)

Today was our Primary Seven's last assembly. We are really sad to see them go. They talked about their week in Paris and made a power point presentation about their trip! Here are two of the songs that they sang at their assembly. We really liked them, we hope you do too!

(Positive) Attitude, positive attitude.

Attitude, positive attitude.

What helped Columbus cross the sea?
Attitude.
What helped Ford build the Model T?
Attitude.
What helped Beethoven write a tune?
Attitude.
What helped Armstrong walk on the moon?
Attitude.

When you know something that has to be done,
You've gotta go out and do it.
And when you have a positive attitude,
You'll find there's nothing to it.

What helped the Wright Brother's fly their plane?
Attitude.
What helped Gene Kelly sing in the rain?
Attitude.
What helped Doctor King have a dream?
Attitude.
What helped inspire ev'ry winning team?
Attitude.

When you know something that has to be done,
You've gotta go out and do it.
And when you have a positive attitude,
You'll find there's nothing to it.

Attitude, positive attitude.
Attitude, positive attitude.

Song 2
We are the future. We are the now.

People always say, " The children are our future;
The leaders of tomorrow, not today."
But we can make a difference in the here and now
If you listen close to what we have to say.
Chorus:

We are the future.
We are the now.
We are the reason why.
We are the way how.
We have dreams to dream and lives to live.
We have love to share and love to give.
We can do whatever this world will allow.
We are the future.
We are the now.

Children of the world,
we all must work together.
There's no time to hesitate.
Together we can make this world
a brighter place.
We must start right now.
Tomorrow is too late.
(To Chorus)

We are people just like you,
With important things to do.
We don't want to sit and watch the time go by.
We feel sunshine; we feel rain.
We feel happiness and pain.
We can feel success if we're allowed to try.
(To Chorus)

We hope you enjoyed Primary Seven's songs.
We are now looking foward to our summer holidays and we in Woodhill hope that you, all our friends around the world , enjoy your holidays too.

Visit to Italy

In March 2007 Mrs Buchanan, Mrs Brown and Miss Young went to Italy as part of a Comenius visit. They met with Comenius partners from Italy, Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. Everyone had a fantastic trip and spent time visiting Italian schools, meeting pupils and staff, sightseeing in Rome, Assisi and Perugia and taking part in some local traditions such as cheese throwing!

Here are a few photographs from our trip.
