P5 January’s Reflective Friday Post

The hatchery for our trout eggs arrived last Friday and the scientist who brought it was very happy to answer all our questions. We are really excited about Clyde in the Classroom and have already learned so much!

 

In PE, we’ve been doing gymnastics. Check out our mini routines we put together at the end of last week’s lesson. We had been working on forward rolls, handstands and bridges. We all gave each other feedback, too.

 

This week, we started work on some pencil drawings of creatures that can be found in the Clyde. We focused on form, size, pattern and shading, and we got the chance to check out everyone’s work just before lunch. It’s great seeing the different styles and approaches everyone takes. Keep up the hard work!

Glasgow Science Centre – Clyde in the Classroom Launch

P5 loved visiting the Science Centre for the Clyde in the Classroom launch day. We arrived nice and early so got to explore the science centre exhibits and test their abilities in a range of skills; picking up useful information along the way.

After that, we went down for our talks from Clyde in the Classroom to help prepare us for looking after 200 new classmates: trout eggs!

We are now buzzing to receive the eggs later this month and will get to start practising looking after the hatchery when it arrives tomorrow. Watch this space for updates.

Clyde in the Classroom – Trout Eggs

We are so excited about getting fish eggs to look after in P4/5! We chose a good spot for them, near a socket but far from radiators, and Clyde in the Classroom delivered our hatchery on Friday so we can start taking practising taking care of the eggs before they are delivered next Monday! We have lots of water bottles in the freezer to make big ice packs but could do with some more, please, so any empty screw-cap bottles of water, please please sent them our way!  Thanks!
