Learning at Finzean School

This week we were practicing the play, Pirates vs Mermaids,  and we tried our costumes on.

We also started our new topic ‘ Earth’ and we learnt about the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core.

We wrote a poem about ‘ It doesn’t have to be. It could be’.

This week we’ve started to learn about  the layers of the Earth.

Writing this week was poetry that started with ‘ It doesn’t have to be… it could be…’

Lastly, we’ve been very busy with our Christmas show prep. Getting all the props ready ( there are LOADS!) Overall we are very excited for it and hope you’ll enjoy!

This afternoon P1-4 walked down the community path to the school wood where we met Toni from BCT. We planted in pairs foxgloves seedings, nap weed seedlings and 2 willow trees. We are looking forward to  Spring when we visit the wood to see if they have grown.

The new ‘man’ in our class!

This afternoon, the school welcomed Alison from the Royal Northern Countryside Alliance. She spoke to the school about where our food comes from.

• Milking cows have spots – Oliver A
• There are more sheep than people in Scotland – Murron
• Cows have 4 stomachs – Emelie
• Sheep have a red mark on their bottom. This tells us how many lambs they are having – Ava
• Pigs don’t like going down ramps – Henry

We are looking forward to Term 4 when she is going to bring some animals to visit Finzean School.

We had fun making a Jacobite targe on the last day of term. They needed to be symmetrical.
