Sorry for the late posting – the technology has been getting the better of me! The class have produced some brilliant photostories last term to show all of their learning about the beach. I wanted to up-load one to teacherstube and then embed it into the blog. It took ages to up-load and then I found out it couldn’t embed into the Glow Blog anyway!
So, here is the link to it – I think it is pretty good.

This is primary 7 gardening in our school grounds. Jamie ran around with a barrel all afternoon.We were all getting all the weeds from the school garden and putting compost around fruit trees.The girls were in the vegetable patch digging out all the weeds and taking some of the vegetables back to school. Some people were digging up compost to put in the barrel to put around the fruit trees.

We were outside in the school garden today to see how many colours we could find. Then we took bits of the colour and put them on our sticky tape to remind us of all the colours in the school grounds. Then we did six sketches of what we saw, we had to make the pictures either close up or far away. We are going to use all this information to make watercolour pictures in our classroom. 😀
We have been harvesting apples from our school garden and bringing them back to eat them. They tasted really juicy and really tasty. We also had plums to eat from our plum tree.Although there wasn’t many they tasted good.
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.
p7 have been out in the playground doing some map work. We put down cards with pictures on them all around the playground.The group next to us had to find them with our grid reference.It was a race to see all the cards that the other group put down.we thought that it was challanging and fun and ever body liked it.
