Burravoe Primary School

For a few weeks in P.E. we have been doing cricket. We haven’t played a proper game yet, We have just being playing mini games with a batter, a baller, 2 defences and stumper (a stumper is just a word a made up to describe the person that stumps the ball to get someone else out.

We got asked to make the signs for carnival floats to show who won for the best looking float. We are also making a walking one to see who is the best dressed young person to walk all the way from the Burravoe Hall to Brough.

Yesterday we went to the beach and the old Haa, first we went to the beach and we found some sea Snails. I found some shiny Rocks. In the sea I saw a seal and it was quite far away. There was also Three Rock pools, and in one there was a thing that looked like a worm but we didn’t know what it was.  After that we went to the old Haa and there was really good paintings and I thought that they used water colours. My favourite picture looked really nice and  she used bits of china from the beach for the clothes on the washing line.

Yesterday we got 6 fertile chicken eggs. We put the eggs in a tray 3 on each side on one side we put water on the tray and the other side we didn’t. Before we did anything we had to wait for the incubator to heat up to around 34-35 degrees. Then we put the eggs in the incubator now we have to wait 3 weeks for them to hatch.

I liked the waves because they were big.

Yesterday 2 women from the Glasgow Science Center came to our school. Fetlar School also came for the experience. In the morning P1-3 had their session with them and in the afternoon P4-7 had theirs. Our session was a bit different to the little session. Our session was called disgusting digestion.We learned about the different stages of digestion. The first stage is your mouth then your oesophagus then your stomach and last it went through your intestines. After the older ones session the little ones and grown ups came and we had a session with little workshops. Some of the workshops where body puzzles, memory games and there was one that showed you what you might look like in ten years time. It also showed you what you would look like if you were drinking and it also showed you what you looked like if you smoked, if you smoked then you looked really wrinkly.One of the workshops was to real LUNGS, but they weren’t human lungs they were pigs lungs but pigs organs and human organs are very similar. There was a healthy pigs lung and an unhealthy pigs lung (they had treated it to make it look like the pig had smoked) you could pump up the lungs to see how well they would be able to breath. For the healthy lung it was easy but for the unhealthy lung it was harder. but I think one of my favourite workshops was the thermal camera it showed you how warm you were and how cold you were.
