Primary School of the Year 2022
Today was the endeavour fair and we got all our stuff and showed it to parents/ carers and some people sold stuff. They came in at 10:30 and they left at 11:30. There was two rooms you could be in, You could either be in the steam room or the p5/6/7 classroom. You were also aloud to go downstairs to the p1/2 and the p2/3/4 class to see what they made. We needed to make a website, a kahoot and a poster to show people.
Our distilling topic is about whisky. We made our own distillery models with stills, wash backs and mash tuns and we made a barely farm on one of the sides. Our distillery also had a car park with cars then a truck with draft in the back of it. We have a mash floor above the ground we have an outside seating area.
We made are own non alcoholic whisky from different flavoured teas and identified the smells we wanted in our drink. We also made an advert for our drink including a photo.
For our topic we are doing food. And we are doing a healthy plate. To have a healthy plate 45% needs to be vegetables 30% needs to be carbohydrates 10% protein 14% dairy 1% oil and spread. Scotland is one of the worst healthy counties in the word. Because we eat so much sugar it gets us more heart disease and strokes. Our five a day should be the size of our hand. So eat a balanced diet!
For my Endeavor I built a little chicken coop for chicks that I hatched. I built the chicken coop out of wood with nails and mesh. I put a brooder in the coop then I put water in it and food so they won’t die. I got a box so they are high up. There is four chicks; 1 boy 3 girls and their names are Chirpy, Cupcake, Wirpy and cheap. I made sways about chickens like what food they eat like grit, oyster shell, corn laying pelts, fruit. Chicks need mushed up chicken food. In their laying boxes they need straw so they can lay nice eggs. They have now a new home with 2 floors the upstairs in for sleeping and the down stair is for playing and where the food and drink is. My big chickens have a swing and a ramp.
My ENDEAYOUR is chicken so I build a chicken coop because I’m hatching chicks four of them hatch. Today I bring my phone to school to show everyone the chicks. I have a camera so I can check that they are fine. One of the chicks are 5 days old the other is two is 4 days old. And the other is 3 days old they will be in there coop for around 6 weeks. So having a camera will help to make sure that they are ok.

Dolphins is swimming club on Islay and is back after a closing for a while. We use to not wear masks but now we need to wear masks. When we get in now we go in the shower for a few seconds. When we get in now we have to spread out in our lanes. When we are done we have to go straight to our lockers so we are not allowed a shower. Now when we are leaving the pool then we put are masks on then go out the fire alarm door to get out now. I’m really happy that Dolphins are back.
