P6 are getting ready for STEM week which starts next Thursday. We have all chosen a STEM investigation to carry out as homework this week. We can work with a friend or on our own. Please remember that you may need an adult’s help with your investigation.
Be ready to tell and show the class what you have done and don’t forget to prepare your STEM lab coat for next Thursday.
That’s it. Our alevins have been safely deposited in a redd created by Struan and Gordon. The river was too fast and high after yesterday for us to go near it, so we watched by the river bank. It’s been an amazing experience with such rich and varied learning experiences for us all. Do ask the P6s what they’ve learned. They’re full of chat and enthusiasm. Many thanks to Greggs for sponsoring the experience and to Struan and Gordon for walking us through it. Next week onto the Expressive Arts with our visit to the City Hall Glasgow for the Ten Pieces Concert.
So, the first words they said when they rushed back into the classroom were, “We got croissants!” Haha. Glad that their priorities are in the right place for 10 year old girls.
Well done, Alloway for winning, they say. Even though they didn’t win it was a great experience and they’re glad they got to go they agreed.
Our 4 representatives (Katie, Grace, Alana and Iona) and are off to the Euroquiz at Prestwick Academy this morning with Mrs McLaren. The girls have been studying over the last 6 weeks during their free time – lunchtimes and at home. Well done, girls. We’re proud of your commitment and great positivity. Have fun today.
P6 had a great day with Mrs Reid yesterday. Alana tells me that the artist Paul Klee was a musician before he became an artist. Their chalk pictures are brightening up our classroom beautifully. Ewan tells me they are line drawings. Thank you, Mrs Reid. The pupils are already looking forward to next Thursday!
All eggs have hatched safely. Didn’t we do well? We’re now taking turns every hour to keep the temperature constant. The ALEVINS as seen in the photograph are feeding from their yolk sac. When that is used up we will need to return them to the river.
Here they are! Struan and Gordon brought them in today, ready for P6 returning to school tomorrow. Two have hatched already! This is so exciting and what a responsibility.
