It was the turn of Donald, Braeden and Scott to organise their expedition over the Ard. They learned to think about possible dangers and had to do a risk assessment. Before we set off, Donald spoke to the class to remind everyone how to stay safe. While we were on the Ard we learned about what to do in an emergency – getting help, calling the coastguard if you are near the sea, and trying out an emergency shelter.
P1/2 went on the first of their planned expeditions to the beach. It was a lovely afternoon and the children worked in groups to create sand sculptures.
Over the past few weeks P1/2 have been learning about explorers. They have found out about lots of famous explorers – from Captain Cook, Scott & Amundsen, Charles Darwin and Shackleton to Neil Armstrong, Edmund Hillary and Jacques Cousteau. They have tried to think about why these people explored where they did and how they went about it. They re-enacted Scott’s expedition to the South Pole in the school grounds and pretended to climb Mount Everest like Edmund Hillary. They have also been working in groups to plan their own expeditions.
On Saturday 17th May Port Ellen Primary School had an eco grounds day.
Pupils brought their mums and dads granny and grampas. And some adults came that didn’t even have children that go to the school. Two women that couldn’t make gave us a donation. but it was a hard working in the rain. Then at 12 o’clock we had lunch. Then we got back to work then at 2o’clock we finished up and then we went home.

My topic is on horses and I’m enjoying learning about them. I have found out about their teeth, and they have more teeth than humans. I did something very exciting, I sent a letter to Beth to find out more about horses and I got a letter back. I’m really enjoying doing my topic.

Explorers is our new topic and we drew pictures of explorers. We also got giving a map and we had to colour in the country they were going to, it was good fun. We got a explorer diary and we had coloured in the front cover and decorate it. We all learned that explorers go all around the world on a boat. I’m really enjoying this topic so far.

On Wednesday 14th May, p6/7 went on a trip to Port Charlotte school, to discuss our Endeavour projects and do some orienteering. We got to go down to Port Mor and do our orienteering down there. My team got all of our marks first so we won.
Last Wednesday p2/3 and p4/5 went to play golf at the Machire golf coarse. At the golf coarse we did putting, chipping, shooting. We took the school mini bus to the Machire. MR. Gaudie, Mrs Ramsey, Mr Gairns thought us how to play golf. The Machire grass was really wet and boggy so it was harder to play golf at the golf course. we also saw a smashed golf buggy behind the fence. There were a lot of animals by the golf coarse.
