Primary 6/7 were given 200 trout eggs and they had to hatch them and once they were hatched they were to release them into their local burn. A man named ‘Willie’ came in every week to talk about how the trout are doing and they also got to ask him some questions at the end. Primary 6/7 had great fun raising the trout and hope that most if them will surive but Willie said that on,y 20% will live. Miss King and Mrs Shanks went down to the local burn with the primary 6/7 boys and girls and released the fish. Some children named theirs. Willie told everyone that they had to wear suitable clothing because it might be raining or they have gotten wet. While the children were preparing Willie was also. He was separating the baby trout into small box containers and some had one, two, three or maybe even four in it! Some of the children are sad that the fish have gone but they had great fun doing the project and hope that they could do more things like this in the future.
