On the 9th June me and Scott went to the Science centre in Glasgow along with Ellen, Emily, Ewan and Eilidh. We did a presentation in front of 4 judges of our Mission SOS topic. Afterwards we did some STEM challenges, they were fun and quite tricky. After that we went to the Imax to find out we had won an amazing prize of £250 for the best presentation on the day. It was a really great trip.

Multi Sports Day
On Friday 10th June schools from all over Islay went to Bowmore for multisports day. We did lots of different sports, for instance football, touch rugby, hockey, sprinting and handball. We all enjoyed it very much and it was very good fun.

Sports Day
At sports day it turned out to be a good day to have races. We had the three legged race and of course the relay and much, much, more. I really enjoyed the three legged race because me and Reece won for the second time in a row. In the relay all the houses took part and Orsay won all three relays. In the senior championship Bailey and Anna won the trophy. I thought sports day was great.

PORT ELLEN PRIMARY SCHOOL ROYAL WEDDING FEAST
On the 28th of April 2011 Port Ellen Primary had a royal wedding lunch. There was lovely roast beef and bright orange carrots. But my favorite bit was the beautiful chocolate ice cream and chocolate fudge cake, it was great fun.

Make a piggy bank instructions
To make your own piggy bank you blow up a balloon and cover it in layers of newspaper. Let it dry and paint it and add accessories and you’ll need to make a coin slot.

The Land Of Me
Lots of exciting things have been happening in P1/2 since Easter. We found a map of The Land Of Me in our classroom and we drew what we thought the places on the map might look like. We then worked together to plan how we could recreate each of these areas within our classroom transforming it into The Land Of Me.
We had to be very organised and collect lots of materials.
We invited our mums and dads to come and help us make The Land Of Me on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Everyone was very excited as we worked together making, painting, building and designing. It was great fun having so many of our mums and dads working with us.
We worked really hard and our classroom looks fantastic! We even have a real forest and a cave which we can play in.
Some of the animals who live in the Land Of Me have come to stay in our class for a wee holiday and want us to teach them all about the wildlife of Islay so we are going to be very busy!
Science Week
It was science week last week, primary 4 to 7 were doing a lot of science on the 17th March. We were trying to solve Japan’s horrible earth quake by trying to separate a handful of the dust from the quake. It was so hard! We were learning how to separate mixtures. I have learnt so much from how to separate mixtures. It was so fun!
