We attended the launch of Clyde in the Classroom on Friday 13 January! It was very exciting and really great fun! We learned about the River Clyde and its many tributaries. We also learned about some of the fish found in the Clyde and a little about the brown trout.

Later we were shown what to expect when our hatchery arrived and how it would look when it was set up. Our excitement was really building!

Later, we got a chance to explore the Science Centre and try out a few of the exhibits.

Nutrition

In class we have been learning about how to eat more healthily with Mrs Kaur. We used a child-friendly website to research different nutritional needs. The food pyramid was a great guide to how much of each food group we should eat.

The food groups include: fruit and vegetables, carbohydrates, e.g. pasta, bread and rice, protein, e.g. chicken, beef, and fish, dairy and fats and sugars.

Below is a link to an advert written by Kristie, Stacey, Lucy and William to promote healthy lunches for younger pupils.

Archery After School Club

Leave a comment

The boys and girls in Primary 5 were offered the chance to try out archery at an after school club run by Miss Macdonald and Mrs McCulloch. The children learned about all the parts of the bows and arrows, and, more importantly, the safety equipment and rules to take part.

Below, you can see Courtney, Carys, Skye and Lauren H sharpening their skills.

All of the children said how much they enjoyed this sport. It was fun to learn all about the parts of the bows and arrows, how to load the bows, and how to stand
