During Scottish week we looked at different towns and cities in Scotland and plotted them on maps using co-ordinates.
We learned about Sir Alexander Fleming, the Scot who has saved millions of people discovering penicillin.
We looked at different Scottish castles and learned how to copy and paste pictures.
We carried on with our Scottish Dancing.
We also made Scottish flags from collage.

✰Zoolab✰

We had a great time when Zoolab visited us today! ☺

We were taught all about the different types of minibeasts and were shown different ones.

As suspected some of these were not so mini! A lot of the children were fearless and wanted to hold everything. This included a giant snail, a giant millipede, a tarantula, a hermit crab, stick insects and a snake ( not a minibeast as it has a backbone.)

Please enjoy the photos and see how brave these children are! I have downloaded quite a lot so those who held the minibeasts could see themselves.

☆Making a Wormery☆

1 Comment

P1/2/3 have made a wormery to see how the worms mix the soil and make compost.

We went outside hunting worms and found it very difficult to find any because the ground was so dry. One was brought in from home and so we put it in our wormery. To make the wormery, we put layers of sand and soil into it and then added some peelings on top.

Hopefully we will soon see the worms mixing the layers up.

❖Minibeast Habitats❖

Leave a comment

We were out in the school garden and over in the park looking at different habitats of minibeasts. We were looking at which minibeasts are found in the air, under stones, on bark and in the soil. We found a lot of minibeasts including bees, earwigs, woodlice centipedes, slugs, snails, moths and flies.

Miss Lamb also brought in for us a Bug hotel which her partner had made for us! We will be able to keep checking on this to see what minibeasts use it as a home.

❀Giant Snails❀

Leave a comment

We had the pleasure of looking after two giant snails in our classroom. These belong to Kirsteen who is the childminder to a couple of our children in our class.

We had to keep the tank damp by spraying it daily with water. We also had to feed them with cucumber, which they apparently love. Kirsteen is going to let us see them again in the new year when they will be bigger. So watch this space. a big thank you to Kirsteen for letting us looking after them!

Victorian Toys

Leave a comment

In our groups we had another chance at improving our skills playing Victorian games.

Some boys and girls moved the game of marbles onto the carpet, as they were moving so quickly along the floor. We discussed that there would be more friction on the carpet, so the marbles would be easier to control.
