We are making a car today, we have had to think about what it will run on. We have been designing the car to look funky and cool. The car is looking ok but we will be making it look even better. We have to add our own engine as well. 🙂

P6/7 Personal Topics
P6/7 have been set do to a personal topic on an endangered animal in the rain forest. You could present it any way, like a power point, a prezzi, a poster or even a video. I am doing my personal topic on endangered gorillas in the rain forest. with either a power point or a prezzi. I have never done a prezzi before, I chose to do a prezzi/power point because I love using the computer. I am doing the gorilla because i think they are really cool and they are the closest animal to humans.

Museum of Islay Life
We went to the Museum of Islay Life on Tuesday 18th January. Primary 6 and 7 came with us. After that we went to the
waterworks at Torra.
We got on the bus and went to Port Mor. We met Mr Reavey. He told us what the oldest house on Islay was. Then we went to the museum. When we got inside it had lots of tools and dresses with beds. My favourite exhibit was a wheel chair because they got to push old people on it. The wheel chair had a steering wheel and a rug on top of the seat. The rug was made at the Islay Woolen Mill during World War 2.
Then we went to the waterworks at Torra. Two people showed us around. They told us about how the water gets cleaned. First it was brown, then it was white, then it got really clear.
I liked going to the museum as it had lots of cool things inside. The water works had lots of pipes with water going through them and was really interesting.
