P4/5 Ship building by Hikmah and Maryam
Outside our School in the big yard we were happily playing then Mrs McCafferty put all of us in groups to build massive ships for our school topic, the history of Scotland and the shipbuilding on the River Clyde.
So then we got loads of sticks, twigs, logs and other natural things but then we all struggled very much to build the ships.
So, we decided to build a class ship together but once again we found it hard to do it because we didn’t have a enough stuff to build it. Luckily, Mr McDonold came with more things that we could use so that was good that Mr McDonold came with the stuff we needed to use to keep our boat together.
Have a lot at some pictures of us building the boat.

Our Trip to Fairfield. By Danial Nawaz
Our trip to Fairfield was very exciting .It started with 15 minutes bus ride from St. Albert’s, our school, to Govan. The bus ride was really boring.
When we arrived we saw the outside of the  museum. It was massive. When we went inside there was lots of mini display cases made of glass with mini structures in them. Chris, a person who works there, told us all about her grandfather William Pierce.
William Pierce was a guy who started as an apprentice then with hard work then then became an architect . That’s a perfect example of if you put your mind to it, you can do it.
Next, we went into groups to look at different ships and models. I  was interested  in the Sea Launch Commander. It’s a massive ship that carries rockets to NASA launch sites to launch them. Its really interesting how they built the sea launch bit by bit. It must have taken strength, hard work and lots of soggy sweat.
The telephone picture shown above is an old telephone. If you hold the golden cone next to your ear and press a number on the front of the box you can hear a voice talking.
