Manga high
Just a wee note to all the class to remind you that Manga high is up and running again. If you have some time please give it a try, im sure it will be a real help in your maths understanding.
what we learned
The discovery!
On Wednesday we were making reports on the Discovery. We learned lots about whats on the ship, the food on the ship, Animals on the ship and Equiptment. So we split off into groups and maked notes about different subjects. It was really fun.
Podcasts
We have been learning about podcasts this week. We looked at tag lines, segments, interviews and thought of them for a podcast we are making. We have been imagining that we are on the dockside before The Discovery sets off for our podcasts. Talking to Captain Scott and Sir Clements Markham(that didn’t go on the expedision)and talking about how the Discovery was built. Hopfully we will post our podcasts to the Blog next week.
Assembly!!!
Mr Goss came in to talk to us about poppy’s. We took a picture of the primary 1 – 3’s good news book.

We had spanish on Monday and we were learning how to say numbers from 1-5 it was good fun!!
Gymnastics
We have been doing gymnastics in gym like forward rolls, handstands, using the wallbars and balancing.
On Wednesday 8th of November 2011 !!!!!!!
Judo
Primary 7 enjoyed a judo taster session on Monday instead of their normal gym time. Pupils learned about different holds and throws and even had a chance to have a tussle with the expert trainers. It certainly enthused a number of the pupils to think about taking up Judo as a sport.
A Day at the Beach
We went to the Carnoustie beach because we have been learning about the rocky shore in class. The first thing that we did was we looked in the rock pools to see what animals we could find. We found starfish, crabs, one fish (a blenny) and more like perriwinkles, barnacles, limpets and even hermit crabs! It was fun to go onto the beach and find lots of different animals that we had been learning about in class.
We also walked up the strandline to see what we could find under the seaweed. Andrew F found some Whelk egg cases and Rhianne found a bird chest bone. (Andrew S found a bag handle!?!). We also did a scavenger hunt, some environmental art (like Andy Goldsworthy) and in the afternoon we did a house competition, where we had to make sand sculptures.
