What a fabulous day to be outdoors enjoying the sunshine while we read. Then we had a nature search. We heard grasshoppers and found lots of beautiful flowers and learned about how to recognise leaves and flowers. We even found a wee frog, can you spot him in our photos?
Eid Mubarak! We are sending our very best wishes to all our friends celebrating Eid today with their families and friends. We wish you much happiness.
What a fabulous day we had, the weather could not have been better. Huge congratulations to everyone for participating and having such fun. Thanks  also to Miss Crawford from Active Schools and all the volunteer helpers from Mearns Castle High who made sure the whole event ran seamlessly. Here are some photos of the day.
What an interesting morning we had outside collecting information for our senses poem. It is amazing what you see, hear, smell and feel when you take some quiet time to concentrate. We decided it was best not to taste anything though!
Today we focused on how we taste food. We learned that we have around 10000 taste buds that are replaced every two weeks. These taste buds send messages to our brain to tell it if something is sweet, salty, spicy, bitter or sour. The other important thing we learned was that when chew our food, chemicals are created that send signals to the back of our noses and then receptors there send messages to our brain to give it even more information about the flavour of the food we are eating. Who knew that without our noses we would have no flavour in our life!
