Primary 6 are very excited to be a part of the Clyde in the Classroom initiative. Shortly we are to receive a visit to talk to us about exactly what will be involved in this project. We know that we will be responsible for looking after and nurturing around 250 trout eggs. These will arrive in a hatchery, and one of the responsibilities we will have is to ensure it is kept at the correct temperature – we need bottles of ice to keep it nice and cool. We have been collecting these and hope we have enough.

The project will run for around two months, and the final stage will be when we release our hatched brown trout into the burn. We will probably be quite sad to see them go!

Please check back regularly as we will be creating our own blog to keep you updated on the progress of our eggs. We plan to upload lots of pictures of the various stages of development.
