Ski Club

Ski 18At the start of January, myself and some of my peers were given the opportunity to go back to Bearsden Skiing Centre and complete another block of skiing lessons. We really enjoyed ski club last year and were desperate to improve on what we learned in Primary 6.

Going skiing is a great opportunity to take existing skills such as agility, stamina, balance and control and improve them by learning simple things like how to turn properly, how to get on the poma lift and how to position my skis. This all helps to make me a better skier.

Knowing how to ski is a great skill to have  because I would love to go to the Alps on a skiing holiday with my friends when I am older. To do this I would need to become a very competent skier.

My instructor has really helped me become a better skier, he has really helped me improve my technique and my overall ability. I feel really confident on the higher slopes now.

I think the skiing lessons this year have went very well, everybody  learned something new and helpful every week. It has been so much fun!

Climate Change

Recently myself and my classmates have been learning all about global warming . We have been learning about the three  main  gases in the Earth’s atmosphere and how they work together to heat the Earth up to a comfortable temperature.  However, because pollution is getting worse  the Sun is getting bigger, subsequently the Earth is getting warmer.

This is a key issue in the world at the moment and I feel we need to find out about it, how it is happening  and how we can stop Global Warming . Click here to view a very inspiring  but very important video about what nature is truly about.

This topic has been very important to me, it has made me realise I need to look after the planet now so that we can live in a better world in the future.

We have been learning about Global Warming through websites such us the WWF (which taught us about the species that are endangered  due to Global warming and how it is effecting them). I chose to research the Bald Eagle as I have always been interested in birds and hadn’t realised it was an endangered species. Our class felt so passionately about our chosen species that we decided to put together an informative display for the rest of the school. My piece of art was accompanied by some information about the Bald Eagle.

I feel this topic went very successful, everybody learnt something valuable that they can use to help save the planet in a variety of different ways; such as campaigning or simply just putting rubbish in the correct bin, they all make a difference.

My next steps are to continue to learn about Global Warming  and its effects on the planet and how we can stop it and make the world a better place to live in.
