Some of you may remember a fantastic Gibberie Wallie poster by Primary 4/5 pupils at Sunnybank that appeared in the Youngsters’ Forum last September. Now here’s a fun animation by the pupils in Primary 5/6 that takes the Gibberie Wallie story out of this world!

This animated film was created at Word 08. Primary 7 from Sunnybank School organised and delivered two workshops during the Word School’s programme at the University of Aberdeen. They introduced pupils from Bucksburn Primary School and families from Aberdeenshire Home School Group to digi blue animation. The Sunnybank youngsters helped their groups film the scenes for The Test and this is the result! Well done all involved.

Simon Puttock is an award winning author who has published many children’s books. His books, including Mrs Fox, Goat Donkey and the Strawberry Sunglasses are firm favourites on The Reading Bus.
Primary 5 at Sunnybank enjoyed a short residency with Simon Puttock during this summer term. The class worked with Simon for four sessions and all wrote their own fantastic stories.
Here, in their own words, is a summary from Primary 5:
Week 1 - We didn’t know what you wanted us to do , but we all soon started to have fun. You started to write our spelling words on the board in a funny collection and “The Three-Word Game” was born. Here are some of our three words: “invisble eating car”, “paper projector holder”, “destruction grill monster”, “diamond powered pistol”.
Week 2 - We talked about the three word game and how to make our words into a story. We discussed the problems some of us had with our stories.
Week 3 - We quickly got down to work and after reading some plans and stories, you gave us advice on how to make our stories better.
Week 4 - Your last week. We read some of our stories and recorded our 3 words for The Reading Bus Radio. You even read us one of your stories - “Miss Fox”.
This is what we thought about our sessions with Simon:
“Your visits helped to boost my confidence and the best part about it was the three letter word game. I felt happy because you showed me how to write exciting, emotional and intersting stories. I learned that stories can be exciting and be fun and not just a chore.”
“I could not have written my story if you had not come. We really liked your lessons. You were fantastic, brave, not shy and funny. Everyone in the classroom laughed and were so amazed at what you have done.”
“Your visits made me boost my confidence so I can write better stories. I also learned that anyone can write a story and it doesn’t take a few hours. Your visit has really made me improve my writing.”
“When you came in I was scared but during the weeks I wasn’t scared. I will try to write a bit more.”
Here are two of the stories from Primary 5
Once there was a tiger called Stips who was very kind. She like to play with other tigers. Stigs had black stripes and ginger paws with very long, sharp claws She liked to bounce with her friends on her friend’s tampouline.
One day Strips was on her way home from school when she sawy something in the back garden. Her Mum had bought her a brand new trampouline. She was so happy she gave her Mum a huge hug and a kiss. She went onto her trampoline staright away and was there until bedtime.
The next morning her Mum woke up to a boing, boing noise. She looked out of her window and saw Stips bouncing in the trampoline. Mum went downstairs and told Steps to get ready for school but Stips refused and kept on bouncing because she loved bouncing on her new trampoline.
Stips remembered that her best friend had told her about a competition for the most jumps so Stips decided to enter it. Stips practised and practised her bouncing all day and all night. She didn’t even stop to have her supper.
On the Sunday when the competition was over Stips was the best bouncer and made over a million jumps. She won the biggest trophy and 5 million pounds for her Mum. Mum bought Stips a brand new trampoline that was so big it took up the whole garden.

Chapter One - Long Ago
Long, long ago in a magic island called Dragon Island, there were dragons of types you could never imagine. There were nature dragons, mystery dragons, seal dragons, tiger dragons, electric and fire dragons. The island was very peaceful until one day the Dragon Slayers came.
The Dragon Slayers slew all the dragons that they could find. A few of the dragons managed to escape and survive including the last mystery dragon, but it was still in the egg and almost buried. The other dragons hid in a buried cave that only dragons could get into. The mystery dragons could only be killed with a special sword made of gold and precious power crystals that were found in dangerous places and deep under the ground.
Chapter Two - Found and Attacked
Almost a centry after the attack by the Dragon Slayers, the mystery dragon egg was found by two dragons. They found the egg while one of them was digging. The dragon hit something hard and white, so the other dragon began to help him dig round the object. When they took it out they realised it was an egg. The egg felt very smooth at first until a small crack began to appear. Then a little head appeared in the crack. It was a little baby dragon.

After school I came back to collect my school bag. Got permission to go upstairs to the class. The classroom door was open, unlocked. Walked into the room. Door closed behind me. School bag was missing, the door was opening. Turned round. White suit, black eyes - a ghost ran under the table. Ghost walked towards the table. Over to the sink to wash his hands.
I found my bag and escaped. I ran out of the classroom and there was another ghost. I ran and ran and ran. The two ghosts ran after me. I saw my friend, “Please Help Me! There are two ghosts running after me ” I said to Keiran my friend in school. “There are ghosts in this school,” and he said “Oh no there isn’t”. “Oh yes there is!” “Okay, you win!” There was not just two ghosts, there were loads on the way down the steps. I saw Stevie. “Why are you running down the steps and on the way down the other steps we saw Liam.
“Why are you running down the steps?” shouted Liam. “Can’t talk!” “Why not ?” said Liam. “Because I am getting chased from ghosts!” “Okay, can I come?” “Okay………Hurry Up!!” “Coming,” shouted Liam. And we all went home.

I was hurrying home from work. Everyday I passed St.Peters primary school. The children always wave to me but today there was a problem. There were fire engines. Four of them. The school was on fire. Luckily the children and staff were safe but not everyone. “Where’s Sam?” said a boy. No one knew where Sam was. Everyone shouted “Sam.” But no reply.
”Wait,” said one of Sam’s friends. “Did anyone see Sam’s desk this morning?”
“No,” said everyone. There was a note. It said: “You are next Sam signed the Fire Starter.”
As the fire stopped everyone stared at the burnt school trying to figure out who the Fire Starter was?

I was wallking home from school and I was late for tea. I saw a dark allyway and I knew that it was a shortcut to my street. When I was about half way down I saw an abandond house and not thinking about my tea I wallked in. There was blood splattered all across the wall and floor. The T.V. looked like it was a black and white T.V. The sofa was old and dusty.
The garden was full of weeds and its pond was dry and there were no plants whatsoever . In the kitchen there was no electricity apart from the cooker and the washing macine.
There was a noise upstairs and a voice. I stumbled up the stairs and there were four rooms one bathroom and three bedrooms. One of the bedrooms looked like it was just made and the other rooms looked like the rest of the house, old and damp. Then…
