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.

Primary 7 have been writing talks for homework for the last two weeks – they had to be on different kinds of sea animals. We had to use notes, speak loudly and clearly, include facts, have good eye contact with the audience and use visual aids. Sabine’s really stood out because she had really good visual aids, she involved the audience by having activities for them to do and she used loads of expression! Well done Sabine – best so far! 😀
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 were doing a group task.We got a sheet of paper and we had to draw a picture of a rocky shore. Then we got a sheet of paper with a rocky shore animal on it and wrote its name. We were in groups for this task. Then we had to draw the animal on our rocky shore picture.
This is our wall display about the seaside.In p7 we learned that there are four differrent zones there are the splash,upper,middle and lower zone.We will be going to the seaside on a trip. We will be finding out all the animals that live at the shore .We will be learning about animals adapting to the abiotic factors like wind, shade ,heat,cold, wet ect.
