Bud bus

 

On Thursday the 1st of September The bud bus came to our school. The whole school got to go on the bud bus. But different classes went at different times. There were 2 people showing us different things we could do on the bus and telling us things about the war.

 

When we first went on the bus there was a lady and she asked us things to see how much we knew about the bus and the war. There were questions like why do we wear poppy’s on Remembrance Day? or what does poppy Scotland do? and so on. Then we could look around and do different things we even got to make our own poppy’s

 

At the end the groop I was in got to clock in clock out a men showed us how to do it*/. Then we went off the bus.

 

THE END

 

Mareel and the Playpark by Libby

 

On Wednesday 31st of August, our class went on a trip to Lerwick! It was so much fun, here’s a recap!

First, we arrived at school and had our outside playtime. We came inside when the bell rung and got out our snacks, water bottles and put on our jackets and high vis. Miss Colclough got us into the line and got us to choose our partners. She and Katie took us to the bus and got us into our seats, the bus had started to drive to Lerwick after everyone had their seatbelts on. We went through Whiteness, through Tingwall, and into Lerwick! It drove over to the cinema door and we all got off there.

Miss Colclough and Katie led us into the building and we stopped in the lounge. The schools drama teacher Izzy greeted us in the lounge and led us upstairs.

WE COULDNT BUY ANYTHINGL

We were told about this new system when we went upstairs; we would be given a ping-pong ball to put into one of 4 buckets, it was a rating of how good the movie was! I rated an “Ehh, its okay. Not bad but not good.”

Next, they took us into the movie room and we got seats up at the very back! When all the schools had gotten there, a woman went down to the floor and gave a speech about the movie. After her speech the movie started.

The movie was called;

Jackie and Oopjen

After watching the movie, a man who worked at the cinema called Tim showed us around the whole backstage and how the movies work! He took us around the whole building and showed us the graphics designers, and Angus the janitor! After Tim showing us around us all said thankyou and left.

We walked up to King Harald Street and stopped to play at the playpark. We ate our lunch there, and played for a few hours! We waited for the bus to pick us up then we went back to school and it was hometime!<3

 

                 Swimming by Martha!

On the 28th of August our class went swimming to Scalloway. I was with Bronwyn on the bus we chatted about Dogs and Kiwis!

In the Pool I was in group 1 the first thing we did was races in 3s I was with Libby and Bronwyn. We did front crawl first and I went first when I got back I touched the wall and Bronwyn went and when she got back Libby went and we came 2nd! Next we got red and black surfboard floats and I went first again we went on our fronts the first time. But this time Bronwyn went last and Libby went 2nd after we did that we did it on our backs it was really hard I went 2nd because I didn’t understand how to do it but then Libby showed me so I went.

After that we had to get out so everyone went to get changed after I got changed the other group went in. We did spelling me and Bronwyn worked together because we had to share a dictionary. After we finished it we watched the group 2 swimming! And had our snacks.

Food Journeys – Baking

As part of our topic – Food Journeys, today we learned about food preparation. We were given the recipes and worked in groups to make chocolate cupcakes and gingerbread. We worked really well together and cleaned up and washed dishes well. We enjoyed eating our goodies before home time and even have some left over for snack time tomorrow!

Brain and Body Systems

This afternoon we were learning about how our brains react to stimuli to make us aware of our surroundings through signals received from our senses and signals sent through neurons.

 

Jessie –  We squeezed hands then shoulders and found our shoulder is closer to our brain than our arms.

Joe – This showed that our reaction times were faster on our shoulder than our hand

Jack – We dropped rulers to see how fast our reaction times were.

Innis – I think that the last experiment is fake as when I squeezed my nose I could still tell the different between apple and tattie.

Abigail – We were learning about if our sense of smell affected our taste.

Fin – Even with your hand closing your nostrils, tatties still weren’t tasty

Rhys – When you eat something most of the taste is actually coming from you smelling it

Cracker Experiment

Rhys – We tested if our bodies could produce enough saliva in a short time.

Jessie – We came up with a hypothesis

Fin – We learned that we couldn’t eat that much crackers in one minute

Ruairidh – This was because the crackers were really dry and took up all the saliva in our mouths
