Mars Day
Today was Mars day and we celebrated by learning lots of interesting information about Mars. We have explored Mars as part of the wider Solar System, questioned the possibility of life on Mars, imagining what Marstians might look like. We also looked at how robots are used to help us understand more about the planet Mars and used Kinnex and junk to make models of space robots.
Longest Obstacle Course in Ballantrae History
This afternoon the boys and girls worked together to make Ballantrae’s longest ever obstacle course! They worked in their house teams and took a side of the bike track each to make their fantastic obstacles! They demonstrated excellent team work, cooperation and delegation skills! 
World Book Day- Talk for Writing Workshop with Mr Sisi
As part of World Book day, all pupils took part in a Talk for Writing workshop with Mr Sisi where they learned all about the book ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. Pupils studied the language of the book before creating their own ‘story maps’ visually representing the major events within the book.
World Book Day with Mrs Gregg
Today (3rd March) we celebrated World Book Day and how important books, authors and illustrators are in our lives. In Mrs Gregg’s class we drew pictures of our favourite book characters and wrote what we liked about them.

World Book day stem challenge
One of our challenges today was to build a new house for the three little pigs. Lots of problem solving, design and time management skills were required. The aim of the challenge was to make a house secure enough to avoid being blown down by the big bad wolf, otherwise known as Mrs Ball’s big bad hair dryer. There were some great creations, and lots of enjoyment had by the children.
