Auldgirth Fishery!

On Wednesday  the 12 of November P5-7 went to the Auldgirth  Fishery with Miss Baxter and we learned about the  life of a Salmon. Did you know, that Salmons turn grey when they go out to sea and their fathers have nothing to do with them?

After Christmas the lady that was taking us  around is coming to our school to give us Salmon eggs! And we are going to have them until they hatch.
