Today, P3/4 were using their research notes to create a fact file of an animal from the Arctic or Antarctic. They were learning how to insert images and different text fonts on Pic Collage to make their information attractive and eye catching for their reader. As you can see…the polar bear was a popular choice!
Almond Valley Visit
Our blog is back up and running after a brief Glow update! Hooray!
Before the October holidays, Primaries 1-4 were learning about the Harvest. They visited Almond Valley Heritage Centre and got the chance to learn about where their food comes from and how it is gathered. Here are some pictures of their day! You will notice that they got the chance to be ‘Tattie Pickers’ for the day and all the vegetables that they collected were used to make some delicious soup!
Active Maths in P1/2
Here are P1 and P2 learning about numbers and place value.
Making Moon Rocks!
As part of their Space topic and Instructional Writing, Primary 3/4 were making moon rocks! They used baking soda, black food colouring, glitter and a splash of water, then they shaped their rocks with their hands. When their moon rocks were ready, they wrote instructions on how to make them. Now the other classes can give it a go!

Day three has come to an end and P7 have enjoyed more fabulous activities and even more fabulous weather. We hope you enjoy today’s pictures!
Hi again everyone. Today I went kayaking and canoeing – I didn’t really want to do the kayaking at first but eventually I gave it a go and loved it. I’m still having a great time. Miss you all. Lewis x
Hi mum. I went kayaking today and thankfully I didn’t fall in. Derek took us on a safari and we saw some animals that he had caught. Derek was really funny! Goodnight and see you soon. Ethan x
Hi mum and dad. We went on a safari and it was very funny because the instructor called Derek asked me a question and when I answered he called me a numpty and to stand up. Nobody chose the same answer as me and it turned out I was right and they were the numpties. I am gorge walking tomorrow and can’t wait. Love Callum.
It was Mr Bissett’s last full day today so this evening we all walked down into Oban and got some ice cream together. We also got to see a pipe band practising in the middle of the town. My trainers have dried out now. J Thomas x
We got to see some trapped animals at safari today. We also got to go down to Oban for an ice cream. I had a raspberry one – it was good. Miss you loads. Liam x
My teammates and I went canoeing and we went to some huge rocks and jumped off them. It was really high and took me a while to build up the courage. I did it though! We all went down to Oban and got some ice cream. We saw a pipe band while we were there. See you soon! Jenna x x x
We went canoeing to some cliffs today and I climbed to the top and jumped off. I wasn’t going to do it but the instructor said it would be a cool thing to tell everyone I had done and that helped me be a little braver. I also went rock climbing and climbed up some cliffs near the beach. We also walked into Oban for some ice cream. I got mint choc chip and it was yummy! Lots of love, Savannah x x
Kilbowie – Day 2
Hello again! Our second action packed day at Kilbowie has come to and end. Everyone is having a blast, trying their best in any challenge thrown at them and making new friends.
P7 pupils are in three different activity groups and therefore at different places on and off the campus throughout the day. Today, Mr Bissett managed to photograph two of the groups so tomorrow he is going to join the girls group to capture some photographs of them. The instructors have all been taking photographs and are going to give us a copy of these at the end of the week also.
Had a great birthday! At supper, there was a big cake with my name on it and everyone sang Happy Birthday to me. I have lots to tell you about when I get home. Love Liam.
I went Gorge walking today and I jumped off a huge rock. My head went all the way under the water. Love Savannah.
I went rock climbing today and guess what, I am still in one piece! Iam proud because I managed to climb every single rock face and not everyone was able to manage that! Miss you (a little). Love Ethan.
I went Gorge walking today and have made some good friends in my activity group. We held each others hands walking up the river but I still managed to slip three times! In the afternoon we went skiing and I made it all the way to the top. To finish it off I went for a jump in the sea before supper. Love Jenna.
Hi everyone. Today I went dry sky slope skiing and rock climbing with my instructor Donna. Skiing was sore on my legs but I managed quite well eventually. Love you guys, Lewis.
I have had a really fun day. I went kayaking and canoeing. I was a little scared at first but ended up loving it. Take care and see you soon. Love Callum.
We kayaked oved to an island today and then climbed a small cliff face. I loved jumping off the cliff face into the deep water today. Even though it was freezing and high, I managed to do it three times! Love Thomas.
