We have been showing Zap the Alien some interesting things around Camelon. He wanted to find out about how we can travel around so we took him on a walk to the train station.

DSCF2547 — We saw a train arrive and it had 3 carriages - Keyon and Jay

DSCF2546 — We were trying to find out where the trains take us - Conor

We also took Zap on a walk to the Main Street in Camelon. He wanted to see the kind of shops we had in the local area.

We saw Patricks the Butchers, the Chinese Takeaway, the chemist, the chippy, the bakery, the DIY shop, the newsagents, the opticians and the cafe.

We went in the chemist to see what it sold. We saw toothbrushes, medicines, toothpaste, baby food and nappies, first aid kits, lipsalves, soap, shampoo and vitamins.

We also went on to the bakery to see what it sold. We saw birthday cakes, drinks, sausage rolls, chocolate eclairs, cream cakes, sandwiches, doughnuts, fruit cakes, steak bakes and bread. They looked yummy! – Erin

We had no money so we couldn’t buy anything!

It was a fantastic walk! – Charlie

It was fun! – Alysha

I hope you had a good time Zap – Amy

The walk was good exercise – Keyon

It was a long walk and it was snowing! – Jay

I liked seeing the shops – Conor

Primary 6, Rainforest

P6 Rainforest Topic

March 25, 2013 User deactivated Leave a comment

Primary 6 have been learning about the rainforest for our new topic. We have been put into groups and we made our own explorers that were going to the rainforest with Dr. Wilbur Jones. We have made our classroom into a rainforest with trees and animals. We have learned that there are lots of animals, waterfalls and plants in the rainforest. The rainforest is a huge place but the biggest one is in Brazil and it’s called the Amazon rainforest. There are lots of people living in the rainforest, over 200 million people. In art we made rainforest people with Mrs Millard.

On Friday the 1^ST March primary 7 went to Tom’s Kitchin’s restaurant in Edinburgh. We were there because were won The Eco Schools One Planet Picnic competition out of the whole of Scotland. Tom told us about his childhood and why he likes Scotland. He told us that he loved cooking and he only uses in seasonal and locally produced foods. In the restaurant some of us got to taste an oyster and we all tried rhubarb. The rhubarb was yummy! We feel really lucky that we had this experience and will spread the word about local and seasonal foods!

Lately in Primary 7, we have been adding equipment to our Inside outside Eco Pod, like a story telling seat, chalk boards, mirrors, flower boards to write on and we also added raised beds. Before we added all these equipment we had a pond and a seating area. It all looks really fun and we are looking forward to using it when it stops snowing!
