The Primary 7s have been working very hard on their life cycle writing and here are some of their beautiful pieces of writing.
We also had fun this morning looking at the shark, ray and skate egg cases and finding out all about them.

End of Week 6
What a lovely end to a busy week.
As a recognition of good behaviour , we had planned to play hide and seek in the forest. We couldn’t have had better weather for it, or more fun. Ms Scanlan managed to catch everyone, except for Koll. It wasn’t as easy as we thought, some of the P7s are excellent at hiding!
Just before that we planted a few more trees and we saw lots more frogs again. The pond has filled up with water from all the recent rain.
This week to link with our biodiversity life cycles topic, we made a display in French of the Hungry caterpillar – ‘La chenille qui fait des trous’. Ms Scanlan was very impressed by all the French accents and the lovely drawings.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Week 6
Primary 7 have been very busy in the last few weeks continuing their topic about Biodiversity .
They have all been finding out about different British moths and butterflies and doing lots of research into their life cycles.
We have also been out planting a few more trees and are planning to plant some more tomorrow. So PLEASE BRING YOUR WELLIES!
First full week back
What a lovely first full week back. It has been great to see everyone again and we have done so much this week and had lots of fun.
After seeing all the frogs around the pond we have been drawing / making and talking about animals in French. This afternoon we had a look at all the tree species and have been classifying and identifying them all for our Biodiversity topic.
Exploring the wild
What a lovely afternoon we had today, exploring the tree and pond areas, trying to find as many species as we could and then finding more frogs than we could have imagined! Everyone was very engaged and we all enjoyed the afternoon.

RSPB Schools Birdwatch
Today Glen Tyler came to help us to complete the annual school grounds survey. We went out in four groups during the morning. We walked around the school grounds and then recorded what we had seen and submitted the results online. We also looked at last year’s results for the UK and Scotland. They were slightly different.
We saw house sparrows, starlings, a blackbird, herring gull and two mallard!
STEM 3
Today is our final STEM session.
We started off by doing a sort activity about different types of energy.
Then we made a solar and wind farm.
Robert Leask really enjoyed making the power sources with Toby, Roman and Daniel.
Faith said “ It was really good fun to see how many volts our model generated – it was 4 volts!”
Isaac said “I liked fiddling around with all the little pieces. “
Mia especially enjoyed building the wind turbines.
Climate Change afternoon
This afternoon Elliot Tait and Isa Bragg from CAB, came in to run a workshop about Climate Change and its effects. We had a really interesting afternoon, with lots of discussion and activities.
STEM 2
Emma Chittick came to run our second STEM session today. This time we were finding out about solar power. We learnt about how solar power works and we had a go at making our own solar farms.
