Primary 5 have settled in well this Term after the excitement of Christmas. The children are really enthusiastic about their Interdisciplinary/Science topic Clyde in the Classroom. This topic encourages children to engage with nature and develop a sense of pride in their local environment. Primary 5 are responsible for the care of brown trout within their classroom and work weekly with a Clyde River Foundation Scientist. The brown trout eggs were delivered on Wednesday the 24th of January. We are expected to care for the eggs for six weeks where we will then release them into the River Clyde. The children are responsible for checking on the tank several times a day. They need to check the temperature and ensure that it is suitable for the eggs; too hot and they add iced water bottles or too cold and they would remove any iced water bottles. The children need to check on the eggs and remove any eggs which have died to ensure that they don’t spread any viruses to the remaining eggs. Primary 5 are keeping a weekly diary recording the changes of the eggs development. The children are thoroughly enjoying caring for the eggs and all of the learning which is taking place within their topic. Look out for our pictures on Twitter.
