Saul is Tae Kwon Do World Champion!




Last November we posted about Saul's remarkable success as Sciennes' first ever British Champion. We are all so incredibly impressed by his amazing achievement in being crowned Tae Kwon Do WORLD CHAMPION for his age group. All the more remarkable because he only took up the sport a year and a half ago, when he joined a Sciennes Active Schools Club. Saul is Scottish Champion and we wish him success in the European Championships in Switzerland later this year.







We couldn't resist a quick pose with the Lauder lion mascot!

P5C at Gladstones land!

Gladstones Land Trip
By Matthew P5C
What's happened to P5C? They look like old town children. That's because it's the Gladstones Land trip! It's WILD. P5C get toured around Mr.Gladstone's tenement. The stuff people used back in those days is much more different from the electronic tools we use today. One room had secret paintings underneath a layer of plaster and the company taking it down stopped. Half the stuff Gladstone's Land contains is from different countries like Scandinavia and Holland. Mr.Gladstone his wife and his children were better off then many old town families. P5C dressed up as old town children outside! They were swarmed with tourists taking photos. What a great trip!

Halloweeeeeeeen!


Halloween day!


By Matthew Caldwell


Halloween is WILD at P5C. Everyone is dressed up in the greatest costumes. First everyone had to look around the school in our maths hunt. When you found a maths question you would figure it out and find a matching letter to help complete the secret Halloween message. Nearly everyone was dressed up from ghosts to zombies, oooooooo creepy. The gruesome recipes are horrific I think I am going to be sick at how gross they are. Last but not least is the party, we had good food and games! Amazing! What an exciting Halloween.


Here are a few of our favourite Halloween Jokes:

·         “Doctor! Doctor! I’ve got a strawberry stuck to me.”

“Okay, I’ll get you some cream for that!”


·         What does a skeleton say before dinner?

Bone appetite


·         How do you make a witch itch?
