Through in P3/4 they have been learning different topics which are crofting and fishing. For their fishing topic they have been drawing fish, looking at crabs and lobsters and they have also been looking at books on fishing. During the start of their fishing topic, Mr Onions, Mrs Grant and Mr Brown came in. Then Mrs Grant gave the P3/4’s some fish for Mr Onions to show them how to scale fillet and gut the fish, there was also Mr Brown who showed them crabs and lobsters which were alive!

P3/4 Crofting
A few weeks ago we started crofting, Willie Curry and Allan Orr helped them with cutting the grass to make a dirt patch. They planted potatoes and beans in our class room, they also planted carrots and onions and rot pots. Katie and Bronagh planted cherry trees and a Burch and a rowan they also planted lettuce They enjoyed planting the peas as well, They done a very interesting test to see what tomato will grow the biggest. They also put sand down and the sand died. but the normal compost had still not growing, they planted Wheat, Barley and horse Oats.

p3/4 crofting
In p3/4 they have been learning about crofting. In there topic they have learnt how to plant and grow potatoes, barley, wheat, beans and more. They had also people in to talk to them about crofting and 1 fact that they found out was that in the winter that the farmers took there animals into there houses and keep them on 1 half of the room while the farmers lived on the other half of the room they also found out that there is 12o crofts on Islay. they learnt where barley came from and how it gets harvested and they learnt that it is best to pick strawberries every 5 months. the p3/4’s have enjoyed learning about crofting and hope to do another topic like crofting again.
