The children have really engaged with our Social Studies topic on a historic individual and places within Scotland, learning about the life of Robert Burns and using non-fiction texts and videos to learn facts about Scotland.

Yesterday Primary 1 visited the Sea Life Centre in Loch Lomond to help learn a little more about our under the sea topic.

We had a great day together learning about the various sea creatures

We arrived on time to see the otters having their lunch. They were super fast and a little bit smelly. They were enjoying some chicks for their lunch.

We listened to lots of facts about the creatures given to us by our tour guide.

We went through a big tunnel and all of the sea creatures were swimming just above our heads. It was very exciting!!

We even had time to play in the park before we got the coach back to school.

Thank you very much to all of our parent helpers who came along with us. You helped keep us safe and answered lots of our questions!

Cameron from Primary 1b has been snapping some great pictures of the children playing this afternoon. He is very proud of his work.

“It was really fun. I’ve never taken photos on a camera before, only my tablet”.

 

Good job Cameron!!!
