Today Primary 5 had a visit from the Newton Room.\u00a0 We learned all about the Atlantic Salmon.\u00a0 We learned about their life cycle, predators and prey.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We then spent time learning about aquaculture.\u00a0 The class split into groups to design their own salmon feed.\u00a0 They conducted experiments to test how shape and size affected it’s sinking ability.\u00a0 This is important as salmon won’t eat the feed if it sinks too quickly to the bottom.\u00a0 Teams had to design a logo and a pitch to sell their best feed.\u00a0 They worked hard on being persuasive.\u00a0 It was great fun measuring, costing and making their recipes. Teams had to decide how much to sell the feed for to ensure they made a profit.<\/p>\n

After each team had pitched their feed a winner was chosen.\u00a0 Well done to the winning team.<\/p>\n
