On Monday 10th June we had our sports day. There was lots of different races, first it was the P6/7 boys race and then it was the girls. Then there was the P1/2 doing some races like, egg and spoon, 100m run and other races that they did. We all took turns in our classes doing all the different races, there was the nursery doing races and lots more people from other classes. There was also the P3/4’s doing the three legged race and then it was the mixed relay races. In the end we found out our sports champions who were Emily from Orsay house and Connor from Orsay, and Orsay won the house cup.
The Science Trip
On Wednesday 12th June, Liam Campbell, Scott Kinloch ,Calum Campbell, Connor Jameson , Eilidh McMillan and Maisie Logan went away to big bang science event in Glasgow that was taking part in the SECC and entered the Saltire competition and the Eco ferry challenge; Scott, Calum and Maisie entered the Saltire competition and Liam,Connor and Eilidh entered the Eco ferry challenge, as well as that they all did a presentation on the science that they have done through the year.
We went to the university to test our wave power machine, Port Ellen Primary were the first to get there’s actually working and we were the only primary school that was testing their wave power device at the same time as all the secondary schools! We were able to produce light at a high frequency in the water movement. After testing the device we went to the transport muesum, We were even aloud to go inside some trains! Inside they had some games like a fireman game were someone had to turn the wheel to make the ladder that you were standing on move while, as you had to aim your hose at the fire and put it out. There was also another game were you had to row as a team to beat the white dot round but it was broken. After looking around inside we went outside and went on the tall ship were we scrubbed the deck, and went down in the coal store, there was a play room were Calum dressed up as a pirate while Liam and Scott walked the plank!
Later that night we went to Frankie’s and Benny for dinner and went to bowling after, we had a competition, girls vs boys and the girls thrashed the boys! The next day we went to the SECC to present our presentation to the judges, we were a bit cramped at where we were set up and we had to be really loud when we were presenting because were we were doing it lots of people were talking! It was really fun and very interesting because I learned a lot from it, and it was something that I have never done before!
