Scottish Math Challenge Trip

This is a blog about the Scottish math challenge that me (Hannah) and Brody went on. We achieved a silver award in the  Scottish maths challenge and we went on a trip to the mainland.   We got to go out for a nice meal and we visited Strathclyde University with other schools who have achieved, including Bowmore primary.  There actually was a lot of schools that came across the mainland and even some P5 won silver!

At the start the professor said hello  and gave us some questions, that were actually quite hard. I was impressed because the P5’s answered those questions!

At the end the schools went in groups that were named A B C, Port Ellen was group B though, went we went down we got a mug and a pencil and shook the professors hand and went back up till every school went. It was really fun. I got to go shopping. I am proud of myself because that was the first time I did the Scottish math challenge ever and it was really hard but in the end I got Silver! Anyways that was the school trip and it was really fun.

Christmas Fair

7th December was the Christmas fair in Port Ellen primary school. Children there have been working real hard for weeks making crafts and wonderful baking! For an example they each had stalls which would sell soaps, bath bombs, games, decorations or even hot chocolate! Yum!

 

Every year  there is a Santa’s grotto would would make things even more exiting and Christmassy, because kids would get presents and a hello from Santa himself! Teas coffees and biscuits were served and even better… Raffles! There was Lego raffles, wine and food!

And all of this amazing event was to save up money for things the school needs like the schools Loch Goilhead trip! Which p67 get to go there once a year!

The Christmas fair was amazing! Was so fun and magical!

Kildalton Trip

Monday the second of September 2024

We visited Kildalton cross with a few more people following which are 2 people from a computer science university named Saint Andrews and a person from Islay museum.

We and the scientists visited the Kildalton cross because of a school trip to investigate the cross because a fungus called lichen was eating away the carvings of the cross, that was made in the 8th century. The cross is about Christianity and had carvings about a lady holding a baby and had more cravings which looked really interesting which people think is Jesus.

We were split up into groups for different things like, making a little clip about Kildalton, taking photos, drawing anything at the place and 360 degree photo which was really fun because we had to hide from the camera when it takes a photo. After everyone finished each group we went back to the school a few kids that was: Hannah, Brody, Ella and Freddy. Went to take more 360 photos around the school, but unfortunately we couldn’t do much pictures outside because it was raining. But we still had fun! And that’s the end of our amazing and interesting trip Kildalton trip! Hope you enjoyed reading this!

Herbal Tea Endeavour

This year we are doing Endeavour!  Endeavour is about something you want to do about, like I’m doing herbal teas. I want to do herbal teas because I am very fond of them and I  think its interesting, and think I’m doing pretty well on my Endeavour so far, I’ve made tea, and did tea testing, researching, and collecting! I also sold tea bags for free and some more tea testing in health afternoon which was really fun, the only thing I need to do now is a power point which I have started and a interesting poster that includes the benefits of tea.

When I started my Endeavor I wrote a letter to James Donaldson who collects herbs to make gin. He responded with lot of helpful tips and answered my questions which I was very happy for!

The Endeavor fair is very soon which I’m looking forward to!  And that’s the end of my blog!
