This week we were making prints of lighthouses out of foam, ink and a plate. We stuck the foam on the plate and then we rolled ink on the foam then we put paper over it an gave it a rub. Next we peeled it off the paper. It is called a collagraph.

We started creating characters for our new books and we made our first paragraph with our characteristics in it.

P5s started kayaking at loch Tay with Kenmore school it was very scary and fun, next week we are capsizing. We are looking forward to it.

P5s went right angel hunting!

p1,2,3,4 were doing positions and movement

We have finished our plans for the term, we will change things as we go if we need to.

We have sent our Camera Trap competition entry away – fingers crossed!  We really loved the project and seeing what animals visit the garden.

We have been using the Daily Mile to practise for the Wee Robbie next week!

We really enjoyed the Highland Wildlife park our favourite animal was the Red Panda. Then we went to see Walker the Polar Bear and the Snow Leopards Chan and Animesh getting fed. We learned about some animals that are endangered and we also learned about how we can stop that from happening by reduce, reusing and recycling.

We have had mice, pigeons, blue tits, robins, great tits, dunnocks, male and female chaffinch, rabbit, and a cheeky cat in our camera trap.

We had visitors from Generation Science we learned about magnets and how magnets attract metal that contains iron. They told us a story about Manis and his grandfather and how Manis learnt about magnets. We learnt a song about the northern lights and got to experiment with the different poles on bar magnets and disc magnets.

We have been enjoying dance in PE with Miss Edwards and Miss Crawford.

On Monday a lady called Heather came in with a camera trap and she told us how to use it. Heather explained what the camera trap does it senses heat and movement and then it takes a photo of the animal. We are going to use our camera trap for discovering what animals are visiting our garden. We found…  Mouse ,pheasant,  Great tit, pigeon, female chaffinch, dunnock and a Blue tit. We put bird seeds and peanuts out for the birds and other animals and we are going  to put out carrots to attract rabbits.

Soon we are going to the highland safari park to learn more about animals. We are looking forward to it.

We have been learning about classification to do with the 5 kingdoms there are Animal, plant, fungi, protoctista and prokaryotes and these are the meanings.

animal: all the animals including us.  plants: all of the plants and flowers.  fungi: all the mushrooms.  protoctista: is seaweed and algae prokaryotes: bacteria.
