Yesterday we went on a trip to Loch Lomond. We did an OPAL earthworm survey and we were trying to find how many worms were in the soil. We also looks at the acidity of the soil and the different types of worms. It was good, muddy fun! We did some conservation work and did a big litter pick around Loch Lomond, it was really good and we couldn’t believe how much rubbish we found. We used bin bags made from cornstarch so they were biodegradable! We also identified different leaves using a leave identification dial. It was very interesting seeing all of the different leaves in the area. This trip was great and will go towards our John Muir Explorer Award.

Pythagoras have started to look at scale drawings. We have been looking at ratios and how to work out scales. We even started to draw our own scale drawings.

In Art we created a Blitz skyline. They are very effective, we had to use shading and smudged different chalk colours to create a fierce looking sky. It was very messy and fun!

We took part in a Christmas card competition for Whitecraigs care home and we got a lovely certificate from them. We are looking forward to hearing who won!

It was a dress as you please day today and we all enjoyed being comfy in our own clothes.
