Primary 6 Activity Week

P6 activity week was over the course of 5 days, each day we took part in a different activity. Creative Comics visited our classroom from Dundee and we learnt how to write comic strips. We had lots of trips out of school to Botanic Gardens, Crombie and Monikie parks. Take a look at our photos for a taste of our activities.

: On Monday Creative Comics from Dundee came in and we made characters and comics about the characters

: My character was called Hobo Siwa, He travelled on the side of a train and met Rich Richard.

: Raft building at Monikie on Thursday

: Learning how to use our paddles.

: We co-operated and built a raft – will it float?

: Moving our raft and co-operating was hard work. It was really wobbly, we could have used more barrels.

: I found the high ropes very challenging and scary but am proud of myself that I managed.

: The climbing wall was easy, we climbed up the wall wearing our harness.

: At the Botanic Gardens we looked at exotic plants. This is a pitcher plant which had lots of dead flies inside.

: More pitcher plants. We looked at was inside, – black, mushed up insects.

P2/3 and P3 Trip to Newton Farm

Last week P2/3 and P3 went to visit Newton Farm. We had a great time! Our favourite bits were feeding the baby kids and lambs. We made our own butter but we weren’t allowed to eat it so we are going to make it again in school so that we can eat it with some toast and jam. We also got to watch some sheep being sheared, it was really funny because afterwards they didn’t recognise each other and started to fight with each other. There were lots of other animals on the farm that we got to meet, there were chickens, a mirco pig, alpacas, cows, Highland cows and dogs.

P4 visit to Discovery centre

We visited the ship Discovery which Captain Scott used to sail to the Pole. Some of the Kids were allowed to dress up in costumes from the past and the present. We got to see how the sailors lived on the ship and what other equipment was used on the voyage. We also walked around the centre which had an exhibition of people and animals that live on the cold lands. We also got to watch an old fashioned movie from the time, showing the people living and working in the cold.
