ROOKIE ROCKSTARS

This is the first time that Cornbank Primary has been involved with such an exciting initiative and our pupils have thoroughly enjoyed the Rookie Rockstar sessions this week.
RookieAs per the recent flyer distributed, there will be 2 concerts on Tuesday evening – one at 5.30pm for the Eagles and Falcons and the second at 7pm for the Kites and Ospreys.  Tickets are available for purchase and are priced at £5 per adult and under 5 years go free.  There is no cost for any pupil who chooses to perform on the evening and there is no requirement for your child to take part if they do not wish to.
Those taking part in the concert are free to wear their own clothes or can dress in a rock style if they wish.  Eagles and Falcons should arrive for their house concert just before 5.30pm and Kites and Ospreys just before 7pm.  Each concert will last approx 45mins and there will be time afterwards to purchase the recorded CD and any Rookie Rockstars merchandise.
We hope you will enjoy these concerts and look forward to welcoming you on Tuesday evening 🙂

Acrostic Poetry by P3/4

C astles

A re made for defence and are

S afe for some people like Lords

T he first castles were Motte and Bailey and

L ances are long stick-like weapons that you charge with

E dinburgh Castle is one of the least ruined castles

S words, axes and shields were used.

by Max

 

C astles are where we live

A nd where we attack our enemy’s

S ee through all our windows

T he buddies are coming

L ead them to the dungeons

E at in our great hall

S lam the door behind us and lock it.

by Ruby H

 

C ourtyards inner and outer the castle

A ttacking castles a lot

S o many castles

T o attack

L ots ruined

E ven stone castles ruined

S ame people invaded castles.

by Daniel

 

C astles use to be made out of wood

A rmour was the same so they had coats of arms

S ervants, blacksmiths and knights all lived in a castle

T the castle had a well so they could collect water

L iving in a castle sometimes was tough

E very lord and lady wanted a castle.

by Paige

 

C astles are sometimes dark

A nd they have rooms in them

S omtimes they have pictures on the walls

T things are kept in them

L ike swords and silver armour

E ven animals were in them too.

by Georgia
