Here is a recount of our trip to the Science Centre written by Logan.

Yesterday we went to the Science Centre on a bus.

The Science Centre is in Glasgow.

We had a snack first and after our snack we went to the toilets. Next we went to the third floor and we went to the IMAX to watch the Animal Kingdom. We needed to wear 3D glasses in the IMAX.

After we went to the first floor and there was a big tv that we could draw on. Then we had lunch in the Clyde Suite.

Finally we went to the second floor and we went back to school then we went home.

It has been another busy week of learning in Primary 4.

We have been working so hard on our writing targets in Literacy that we are ready to move onto a new target next week. We have been learning to find a half and a quarter of an amount in Numeracy and have been learning to identify organs in the human body in Science.

In art we have been learning about the Scottish artist Gillian Kyle and have been creating our own Scottish pop art pictures.

We also went a class walk to the park this week.

We are all looking forward to our trip to the Science Centre next Wednesday.
