P1-3 visited the Iron Furnace
P1-3 had a fantastic visit to Bonawe Iron Furnace last week as part of their Taynuilt visitor centre topic. They learned all about bellows and water wheels and how iron was extracted and how long people have been using iron.
Sampling
P5/4 have been working with Kilchrenan primary school over this last term, and today spent the day at Kilchrenan working with them to learn sampling techniques in the Kilchrenan grounds looking at biodiversity.
In the afternoon they had an absolutely fantastic American football taster session with coach William Humphries, learning how to throw an American football and how to run ‘routes’. A huge thank you to William, and to Allan Wright and Gillian Walker for making this happen.

P5/4 are learning about bees
P5/4 have been working hard on their topic on biodiversity, looking at bees. We had a fabulous visit from Donald Harrison who taught us how bees are kept, how they behave and how honey is actually made! We have also been researching ‘bee friendly’ flowers and made our own wildlife haven for pollinators outside our classroom using recycled bottles to create hanging baskets. We are carrying out weekly bee surveys to look at the impact of our work 🐝
