Welcome to our learning blog!
We are learning all about the circus. We have been learning tricks like balancing, juggling and hula hooping! It has been good fun. By Finlay
We have been learning about the jobs people do in the circus like the ring master, juggler, tight rope walker, trainer, office workers and acrobat. By Bronagh, Ronan, Jasmine, Kaya, Mirren and Struan
We have been thinking about the skills people doing these jobs need. The ring master needs to be able to speak out loud and he can’t be nervous. He must be organised. By Katie
A juggler has to be good at throwing and catching. By Natalie
A tight rope walker has to be good at balancing and he has to be careful not to fall. By Murray
We have a Big Top in our classroom. We have been playing circus games in it. By Ross
We have dressing up costumnes to wear in our Big Top. Ellie
The circus tent has colours on it that make a pattern. There are red and yellow squares. There are purple stars and blue moons. By Eva
I was juggling! by Darren
We turned the bench over in the hall and used it as a tight rope. We had to be careful not to fall. It was tricky! by Ruaraidh
I am good at hula hooping and I love it. By Julie Ann
I want to be an acrobat in the circus because I like doing hand stands. By Kaitlyn
I am really hoping that the lion doesn’t escape from his cage! By Miss MacRae
National Museum of Scotland Glow Meet
We had a Glow Meet on the 28th January down at Miss Macrae’s class room. We where talking to all sorts of workers that work there in the National Museum of Scotland; they were Designers, Exhibition Officer, Curator and a Conservator. The Designer designs everything that involves stuff like pictures. The Exhibition Officer needs to make sure that they only have 25 words or less on the tag and they need to make sure that they is a lot of facts. The Exhibits can be all the same or they can be all different things. A Curator is someone who looks after all the old things that goes in the Museum. You can find things if your on a walk on the beech or the woods or any other places that you might find some things. I thought the meet was very good because I got to learn all the different jobs there are in running a museum.

Researching Scottish Scientists
My class is researching Scottish Scientists and my Scientist is William Ramsay and he discovered the noble gases. Williams Ramsay was born on 2nd October 1852 and he died on the 23rd July 1916, at the age of 63. William was married to Margaret Johnstone. William and Margaret had one son and one daughter. People call William Sir William Ramsay and he won a Nobel prize for chemistry. He helped people think about the world around them.

The World War 1 Medals
We are doing a history topic and we are trying to make our own museum and I brought in some medals from the War. They belonged to a man named Charlie Baum who was in the ambulance association and was killed while going to pick up a body. He got the medals for being part of the War and saving people’s lives. My Grandad got the medals sent to him as he was a relative. He even got parts of Charlie Baum’s clothing and other things.
My Dancing
When I was 5 I started highland dancing and I am still dancing now. My mum and dad even my little sister Natalie supports me very well, even if I don’t win any they always say to me I did my very best and I will get one next time and I am a winner to them. Eilidh and Katie dance with me too and they are great dancers and they support me and we support them. In 2008 I had entered Cowal games and at the end I got my results and I won the runner up trophy, I was jumping for joy when I found out. In 2009 I entered the Dunoon competition and I won the national trophy and I was incredibly pleased with myself and my dancing teacher that helped me with my dancing. I have loads of different medals from 1st to 5th and a mini shield for my dancing exams.I hope this year I will be very successful and I hope Eilidh and Katie will too.

We had a Glow Meet with Bowmore primary school about our topic on scientists and their topic on inventors. My scientist is William Thompson, he discovered the temperature absolute zero. It was fun I had loads of questions to say and answer. i found out that their favourite rock star is Lady Gaga. I just loved it and I want to do it again.
