We worked with Mr Ross in the morning to explore literacy through drama. We have been learning about the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In the morning, we read about Mike Teavee being transported by a magic television in the factory. We then came up with our own ideas to bring TV adverts to life.
Later in the day, we practiced our spelling words using some active methods. One of our favourites was using the magnetic letters and boards.

Over the past term, two pupils from SLC 3 have been working with pupils from Hillside school and Drake music on a project which finished with a performance at Cumnock Academy on Friday 29th September. The two boys thoroughly enjoyed their time learning how to use the different musical technology and taking part in the performance. They really did their school proud!
On Friday 6th October 2017, P5, 6 and 7 pupils from SLC 3 went to the Sportsability event at Ayrshire College in Kilmarnock. We got to take part in lots of different sports such as athletics, rugby, football, sitting volleyball, netball and dancing. We had such a great day trying out different sports and send a big thank you to all involved in organising the day. We can’t wait until next year!
We have been observing our mummified food for three weeks now! All of the foods that were mummified shrunk in size, turned a deeper colour (some even went brown or black), had no juice or water left in them and had a funny smell. They smelled like salty sea water and dirty bins! It is important to point out that all of the mummified foods still, in a way, looked like they did at the start of the experiment.
The foods that were just left to rot were vile and hugely stinky. The worst smelling food was the banana and that was closely followed by the disgusting hotdog! The foods that were left to rot had tuned mushy, watery and were decomposing. None of the rotten foods were still whole – they had broken into different sloppy parts. It was really difficult to tell the tomato and the onion apart because they had changed so much and almost morphed into each other!
We now have a much better understanding of the way in which mummification was used to preserve human bodies – but we can’t imagine that it would have been a nice job.
We bet that it was honking!
