Distilling Endeavor By William Campbell

Islay is very famous for whiskey but the whiskey needs to come from somewhere. That place is a distillery and I have done my endeavor on distilling because when I am older I want to live on Islay and there is a high chance that I will work in a distillery when I am older. Another reason I chose it was because most my family works in a distillery.

Endeavor is a long-term competition that P567 try and make something and learn about a project they chose themselves. Everything is done independently.

I have wrote letters and reports. planned everything and a lot more. I hope to build a distillery, have tour videos and some other things.

Then it was the time to go up when your name was called to get all of your medals and trophies. It was a great day.

Swimming

P5,6,7 went on a swimming trip because we did good at the rugby festival. We went over in the school bus or in Miss Brown. We parked at the high school and walked down to the swimming pool. We had to wait because the changing rooms where full. After we got changed everyone raced for the floats. Everyone was jumping of the floats and sitting on them. We were also playing catch with the balls and dives of the steps and racing. At the end we all jumped of at the deep end in to the water.

Football Club

There is a football club on Monday at lunch break 12:30 to 1:00. It is for everyone in the school P1 to P7. It is run by William, James, Ben and Finlay.

We will split everyone in to 2 or 3 groups and do some drills and then a football match. All the teams will be a mixture of P1 to P7 so it can be fair. We enjoy coaching football skills.

Peatland

On the 2nd of June we went over the Ard to learn about peatlands with Fiona from the INHT. Every year peat grows 1 millimeter. If it reached 1000 centimeters it would have of been like the beginning of Stonehenge. There is a special type of moss to help it grow which is called sphagnum moss and they used to use that moss for bandages and nappies because it is like a sponge and it can absorb liquids.

We also looked at all different types of animals, mosses and plants that live in peat over the Ard. There was stonewort, lizards, snakes, bog cotton, cuckoo flowers and rashes.

My Joinery Endeavour By William Allan Campbell

This is my Endeavor and it Endeavor is a challenging project that you know nothing about but at the end of endeavor you’ll know every thing about it.

I chose joinery for my E ndeavor because I have always wanted to be a joiner because you always are working with wood and that is one of my favorite things to do.

The people that helped me was Mr. Pollock for the ladybird book and the wood that he sent me. My dad and brother have also helped by showing me how to use the tool and how to identify the type of wood and how old it is.

So far in my Endeavor I have made a butt joint, lap joint and a miter butt joint. My favorite thing I had built was a copping board but I’m going to build a bird table for my mane project. I have been doing some designs for my bird table and chopping board and hopefully I will get my bird table soon.

Here is my sway on joints and quiz.

Learning In Lockdown

In lockdown school’s, store’s and clubs were all shut but people have found ways through it like Home schooling. We are just back from home schooling and every day in home schooling we had a google meet on Monday and Friday but the whole class had a google meet and P5, P6 and P7 had their own day for a google meet. And we done weekly topics. and we were doing work in home learning because of seesaw. But if we didn’t have seesaw then I don’t know what we could of used in lock down and seesaw is a learning app for kids. In hone schooling it felt like it was just like normal school but at home. Then when we got back to school it was changed and felt a lot different. We had are own tables at lunch and only three people on a desk and only three people in the bathroom and now every class has a different break time. We miss getting our work done and getting out and about.
