Callendar House Visit

2 Comments

Last week primary 7 went to Callendar house for a World War ll workshop. We got to pretend that we were getting evacuated to the countryside. We got our own identity cards, luggage labels and our own ration book. We got on the train and got taken in by Mrs. Doobuyfull and her husband. They lived on a farm so that they could dig for victory and she wanted us to get up at 6:00am and work on the farm all day. At the end of the night she wanted us to go to bed at 7:00pm. After we pretended to be evacuated we got split up into 2 groups one groups went to see artefacts like the A.R.P. wardens helmet and bomb shells.   We had a great time and enjoyed ourselves!

Global Children’s Challenge

Leave a comment

Primary 7 are doing a challenge called the global Children’s Challenge. it is a challenge to get your steps as high as you can. We are currently 347 and our current average step count is 17,315. It is a good thing to do because it gets the whole class involved. Our best day was Monday 15th October  with 26,885. We have really enjoyed the challenge. We are in dover at the moment and we don’t have a lot of time left. We have travelled all over the world with our step counts!

Digging our Pond

1 Comment

A couple of weeks ago Primary 7 were building a pond with Jennifer from Jupiter. She helped us design and build it.  We also had a visit from a lady who works at Dobbies to help us get plants for our Inside Outside Eco Pod. Some of us used trowels and some used shovels but we all had a go at each of them. We have found some wildlife living in it already. It took us about 2 afternoons to dig the pond. Once we dug the pond we had to line it with tar pollen and carpet to make sure the water did not drain away.

Leave a comment

Ingredients

1.  First we got 2 bananas and we cut them up into about 7 slices.

2.  Then we did the same with strawberries but we cut them in half.

3. After that we stuck cocktail sticks in them.

4. Then we got Dairy milk fair-trade chocolate and broke it up and melted it in the microwave for 4 minutes.

5. Next we dipped the fruit into the chocolate and then we left them to dry. 

6.  Now they are ready to enjoy!

The strawberries we used were from Perthshire and the bananas are fair-trade.  We made sure our peelings and fruit waste were put into our brown compost bins!
