Holocaust Memorial Day

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

French at Glassary

In these pictures we are using the interactive whiteboard to learn French.  We were learning about families and how you put mon in front of a male and ma in front of a female and if there is more than one you put mes.  It was really enjoyable because you could actually get off your seat and move things around on the board using your finger.This helped us to remember because its fun and you keep it in your head.  If it is boring you lose it.  French is harder than it looks.

Glassary at war – September 1939

The school logs give a flavour of what life was like at Glassary in wartime.

100 Years Ago

The school still has the original log books which were maintained regularly by the Head Teachers from 1874 until the 1990s.  One hundred years ago the entry for this week showed:

Zapped

The school’s whole internet connection has been out since the lightning storm two days ago. Hopefully normal service will be resumed soon.

Last Summer
This picture is of the upper school sorting out the rubbish for recycling. It was almost too hot to work that day. Seems to be a long time ago.

This Term’s Topics

The school is divided into two classes: P1-3 & P4-P7. This term the upper school will be doing a topic on the Home Front during WW2. The lower school topic will be My Body. We would be very interested to hear from anyone who was at school in Argyll during WW2.

Welcome

Welcome to Glassary Primary School’s blog. We hope to use this blog to let everyone know what the school is up to and to showcase some of the work of the children.
