Primary 5/6 Pizza Parlor
The boys and Girls from Primary 5/6 transformed their classroom into a pizza parlor last Friday. They used a variety of healthy ingredients to create their own version of the dish, which was created originally in Naples.
They learned that some of the ingredients in ready made pizzas are difficult to digest and can make you feel bloated. They used their prior knowledge of wholemeal ingredients to say why this was a healthy alternative to starchy white pizza bases.

Kenyan Visit
Yesterday two Kenyan ladies came, they came to talk about Crofting Connections. They were called Nancy and Agnes. Nancy worked as a teacher and Agnes was a community worker and politician. Two other ladies came their names were Pam Rodway (head of Crofting Connections) and Mrs Simpson (head of Dunrossness School) We had shown them the garden and we had gone down to The Old Haa.
I learned that…
- Some Plants in Kenya germinate within 5 or 6 days
- PiliPili Manga means Black Pepper in Kiswahili
- Kiswahili is one of the languages Kenyans speak
- The children learn how to hunt from as soon as they are able to walk
- The children learn what fruits they can eat from as soon as they can walk
- The most common fruit in Kenya are Mangoes
- They catch Gazelle
- They have animals that look like otters. They live in Lake Victoria and are smaller.
- Pam sends out a lot of the seeds that we grow
We came back to the school and entered the classroom. We sat down and Agnes and Nancy sang and played Phoebe’s drum. They sang a greeting song and Cultural song both in Kiswahili and just before they left the sang if your happy and you know it in English. I really enjoyed it!

Travel Tracker
The children in Dunrobin have been using the Travel Tracker website to record how we get to school in the mornings. Each day, we record our journey. This graph shows that most children are active, choosing either to walk to school or to park and stride. Once we have been active by walking, cycling or using park and stride for a whole month, we will start to receive reward badges. The more active we are, the more rewards we will receive. We are looking forward to seeing how many rewards we will achieve this month!

The Walk to See Houses and Homes
On Wednesday the 20/05/15 we went for a walk around Burravoe and spoke about the homes belonging to people.We spoke about what they are made of and are they detached,Semi-detached,Terraced,Bungalow,Flats,Caravans or other.Other are like the Old Haa or a shop. We all had clipboards so we wrote down or ticked the box which said the right kind of house. A detached house is when its stands all alone by itself. A semi-detached house is when they are two houses joined up. A terraced house is when there are lots of houses joined up. A bungalow is one house with no stairs and flats are houses one on top of each other.
We saw 5 detached houses, 16 semi-detached houses, 1 row of terraced houses,2 bungalows,0 flats, 1 caravan,1 other which was the Old Haa. Kerrys house was a church and now she lives in it.
On the walk we saw sheep, cars, fields, people, flowers, boats, clouds.
I enjoyed the walk because I liked seeing the houses.
The first photo is a house but it used to be a church. The second photo is a detached house. The third photo is houses joined up together which is called terraced houses.
