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
It was time for the biggest trip of the year when the schools from Islay and Jura both go on the trip. This year is was the Stirling trip, we were all so excited we could not wait. On the day of the trip we were all raring to go. On the ferry we got to go to the bridge it was so cool. At one of the ends the was a glass floor so you could see the bottom of the boat and the side. Once we got to the hotel we had dinner then went bowling, the people that got the best score in our lanes were Craig, Gorga and Anna. The next day we split in to two groups. One of groups went to Stirling Castle and the other group went to the Battle of Bannock burn. At Stirling Castle we saw the Queen’s chamber and The Great Hall and we got to dressed up as some people from the past and to hold some real weapons. At the Battle of Bannock burn centre we went in to a 3D room and it was so cool, we saw arrows go right through our body but it was only the 3D effects. The next day we went to the Stirling University and we got to dissect a fish. After lunch we went to The Forth Road Bridge and it was so cool. For dinner we went to a place called The Filling station it was so nice. After that we all went shopping then we went back to the hotel. The next day we went to Blair Drummond, we went to see some animals we saw elephants, rhinos, triggers, otters,penguins and meercats. Then we went to the ferry to go back home.

A big thank you to all the hotel staff, the buses drivers and, most of all the teachers.
On Wednesday P3/4 went down the battery and we picked lots brambles! The weather was looking wet and a bit windy. We collected was four pounds of brambles which is about 4 kilograms, we could not possibly count all the brambles we got! Everyone was excited and happy, the kitchen then made eight jars of bramble jelly!
P5, plus the 6’s and 7’s looked at George’s Marvellous Medicine. They created their own spells and used Scratch to make Granny grow and shrink as she drank! Wow!
Roald Dahl week P3/4
P3/4 have had a whole week of Roald Dahl. They chose a book called Matilda and they watched the BFG video. They also looked at the work of illustrator Quentin Blake and also they listened to a song from a story called Matilda. And last of all they were choosing a present for Roald Dahl week.

Our teachers have planned a rounders tournament with 6 teams in it. They are the otters 1 and 2 then red deer 1 and 2 and last golden eagles 1 and 2, every last 10-15mins of school we play a game. Everyone is rushing through the doors to get on the pitch for rounders.
P4/5 have completed a debate on golden time which was mostly about rounders. The opposition won 1 debate and proposition won 1 debate. So it was a draw if teachers get to play rounders. You can vote also in the comments write yes or no and well add them up. We really enjoy it!
Today we have been learning about fossil fuels and we have been on tigtag to watch videos about energy and how it works.
We find tigtag useful for our learning because we can watch videos about science. Today in our learning we also did some comprehension using tigtag, we had to watch the video and answer questions carefully.
Bowmore’s Brilliant Bloggers and The Media Team are both excited to take part in Digital Learning Week. We hope to share what digital learning looks like in our school and we hope to gain some new ideas from other schools. #dlw16
