Fishy update

The children continue to monitor, record and care for the hatchery daily. All of our eggs have now developed into Alvins and the children are enjoying watching them grow.

They have created posters and fact files illustrating the importance of The River Clyde in the past and present. This is because the burn that we hope to release the fish into runs into The River Clyde.

P6a are also participating in Eco schools Scotland marine litter competition and have researched the effects of pollution on marine life and how it can end up in the sea from Barrhead.  They created powerpoints and AWAY’s that they will share with the school across the coming weeks to raise awareness of the problem.

Science center visit

Primary 6a loved their visit to The Science center this week. They had plenty of time to explore all three floors and each child enjoyed discovering and experimenting with all the different activities.

Of course the reason for our visit was to prepare P6a for the imminent arrival of their new babies!

The hatchery will be delivered to the school this coming week and  we shall receive the fish eggs the week after. The children were enthusiastic and attentive as they were taught how to use the equipment and how to care for the fish. Regular updates will follow and please join us at our coffee and chat to hear about our journey and learning related to Clyde in the Classroom.
