Primary 3 had a great trip to Summerlee Museum. We were able to explore houses from different periods of time. We went down a mine and it was very dark and a little scary. We couldn’t believe that children of our age used to have to work in there. We had a workshop where we studied the 1980’s. We looked at toys form the 80’s, done a workout and even got to try on clothes from the era too.

We have achieved our Gold RSPB Award!!!!! We are so proud of all our hard work completing all the tasks.

On Wednesday we had Rennie the Dams for Darnley Ranger into our school to take us on a Plant Safari o help us to complete our final RSPB Wild Challenge. We identified lots of plants and in particular the tress that are in our school grounds. He told us great knowledge about the tress and helped us to identify them by looking at their leaves and their bark. It was a bit wet but still good fun. Thank you Rennie!!

We have been learning all about hedgehogs for our RSPB wild challenge. We have watched videos, read information and made a report all about hedgehogs. We decided we wanted to create a home where they can sleep during the day before hunting at night. They can also snuggle up in it to snooze during hibernation. We picked a great location after some research. This is our 12th challenge.

This week we heard 3  solo talks . I talked about his hobby of going to the football, E shared her dancing and A talked about rabbits! Well done everyone and we look forward to next weeks solo talks! 🎙️
