Tammy’s first full day in Montpellier
Today Tammy has been in class learning some French grammar and then he went exploring in the city. He has been finding the answers to a few of your questions.
Drew asked ‘What do people eat in France?’
Tammy said ‘They eat lots of different things, like 🐌, which Ms Scanlan enjoyed, and lots of local cheeses, meat, fish and fresh vegetables.
And they have lots of different types of pancakes, savoury and sweet.
Callum asked if the French eat frogs’ legs, but I haven’t seen any yet!
Robert wanted to know do they have skyscrapers in Montpellier, there are some lovely old buildings but I haven’t seen any skyscrapers. Callum asked what sort of houses they have, so I’ve taken a few photos for you.
And after a busy day I had a bit of time relaxing. Robert wanted to know what do children play, and I had fun with some, playing in the park.
Bonne nuit , à demain.

How to clean water
On 25th September P5 spent the afternoon cleaning dirty water. We used gravel and sand to sieve water through. It looked a lot clearer, but not clean enough to drink!
Air pressure
On 18 th September we learnt about the effect of air pressure on our weather and how it makes air move.
Visit to Sound Hall and the Museum
On 13th September we had a visit to the Sound Gospel hall to do a bible study workshop. They were very kind and the children enjoyed a snack and juice there.
In the afternoon we visited the museum. They gave us a tour of the ‘heritage’ section and we learnt how to make butter. It was easier To do than we all thought it would be and it tasted delicious on the bannocks.
The Water Cycle
Today Mr Rose came in to teach us all about the Water Cycle.
Learning to Play Ultimate Frisbee
On Thursday afternoon, while the P6s were at Bikeability, the P5s had a great time learning how to play Ultimate frisbee. Finlay Watson, Captain of the Stirling University team and Kate Tyler taught our P5s how to do different throws and how to catch the frisbee. We then had a quick tournament in the multicourt.
French weather conversations
Primary 5s had fun learning French weather phrases and then using Sock Puppets, an app on the IPad, to record conversations.
