Ag Ionnsachadh mu Costa na Mara ann an Ile/ P5/6/7 Learn about Islay’s Coast
This term the children in P5/6/7 along with G4-7 have been learning about ‘Islay’s Coast’ and the various types of rocks that surround the coastline. The children were able to identify sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks as well as describe their characteristics and uses.
Mr David Webster, a geologist, attended a trip to Bowmore Battery with the children where the children took part in different activities to deepen their knowledge and understanding.
They were able to make volcanic eruptions as well as create a timeline showing the age of different rocks. The children were then set a challenge to
create the map of Islay using natural resources. They were then asked to place the various rocks in the places they can be found on Islay.
A great day was had by all!

Fairtrade
For Fairtrade Fortnight the children in P5/6/7 learnt about the different Fairtrade items that are for sale in our local shops.
First, the children identified the various countries these items came from and then located these countries on a world map. They then worked in pairs to calculate the food miles that each item had travelled to get to Islay as well as the difference in cost from other well known brands.
The children used some Fairtrade items to create pieces of art. They also wrote out Fairtrade recipes and made some delicious chocolate truffles.
