This term we have visited three different coastal sites to learn about habitats and the different creatures that live there. We identified different shells and learned about what lived in each. We began to learn about food chains and sort what we have found into living, non-living and never lived. We were really lucky to have support from the Islay Field Centre to go rock pooling in two different locations. Everyone had so much fun finding creatures in the seaweed. We found so many crabs and sea snails.
All of p5,6 and 7 have been working very hard on the panto. Allof our groups are doing jobs such as making props, signs, costumes and promoting the pantomime.
In our class p5-7 we have been looking at the Mesolithic period and how they lived. To help us we read a book about a boy called Torak he was wearing leather clothes and had to defend for himself because he couldn’t just go to a shop like we can. His Dad had died as well so he was by himself completely. As well, we all wrote our own story to do with Torak and we had to use the Mesolithic vocabulary as well, so it was hard. We learned how the Mesolithic people lived and what they used to do for work. For work, they had to grow crops for food and hunt animals for clothes. In the Mesolithic time they didn’t go to school the just did work straight away without going to any kind of school!
We went on 2 trips to help with our learning, we got to help did for the tools they would have used with professionals. We went to the woods and built our own Mesolithic shelter to have lunch in while keeping away other clans.
Speech are used when someone is speaking in a text or book. Speech marks are used in books and in text to tell the reader that someone is speaking. For example.
“Go to the shop and buy the paper,” said Mum, “don’t forget the
shopping bag.”
When using speech marks you need to make sure that all your punctuation is inside the speech marks. For example:
“Go and tidy your bed room.” Dad ordered.
We use speech marks because it make it easier for the reader to see when someone else is speaking.
A direct speech is when you need to put in speech marks “” like that at the beginning and at the end of the speech. Here is an example.
“Can you go and get some milk?” Mum asked.
IndirectSpeech
Indirect speech is when you don’t need to put in speech marks here is an example.
Tom said to the children to come inside as it was dinner time.
When To Use Speech Marks
When you use speech marks you need to make sure that you have speech marks at the beginning and the end and make sure that you put the punctuation inside of the speech marks here is an example.
“Have you done all your Homework?” asked the teacher

Primary 4/5 sang some Christmas carols in Bowmore co-op. Although we did not ask for money some very kind people gave us money. We decided to spend the money on food and goodies to create two Christmas hampers, we gave these hampers to Gortonvogie and Kirk Care. The people in Gortonvogie were so happy to hear us sing and it made us feel very proud and kind.
