We held a coffee morning for MacMillan last month! We had a great time and managed to raise a lot of money for the charity! 
Our New Hall
At Strathyre School we now have a big P.E hall. We used to have to go to Lochearnhead hall to do our P.E every Monday and now we don’t. Our new hall is very big. We do P.E two times a week in it and if it is wet playtimes we go in there and we can either play a game or sport organised by Mrs Keenan, play board games or sit and chat. The school kitchen is in there as well so we get our lunches in there on special tables that fold up and get put in the cupboard after we have eaten. We have lots of new equipment for P.E and class one have been learning hockey with Mr Martin. We now know how to pass, tackle and dribble. It is great having so much space.

What I Like
I like that’s it’s a calmer school, it is quieter than being a McLaren. The wee class could hear us and we could hear them, now we can’t hear anything. There are corridors and doors in between the classroom in Strathyre but at McLaren the big class was above the wee class and there were no doors. Our new school is bigger, its eco-friendly. It is amazing, fun, happy, friendly and there are more rooms. There is also a lift and an amazing P.E hall. In the spare classroom which is known as the MIC hub we have a robotic station which I enjoy doing. Our new school is great.

Transport in the Trossachs
One of our topics this year was Transport in the Trossachs.
We researched this and found out lots of interesting facts. We worked with a partner a senior pupil with a junior pupil all from class 2. We had to choose two different types of transport and make up a presentation to show to everyone at the end of the topic. This is a great way to learn, you learn through what you research for yourself and you also learn when you watch and listen to other presentations. We learnt about the old railway line between Callander and Lochearnhead.At the end of the topic we went through to the Riverside Museum which is the Transport Museum in Glasgow. We went around in our classes and each class did a workshop. Class 1 went to a workshop on boats, class 2 went to a workshop on old transport. We got to look through the museum, it was all very interesting.

Robotics
We went to the Robotics competition at McLaren High School. Tabitha, Anna, Violette Mackenzie and myself had to build a robot and programme it to go around a course themed like space. Mr Martin helped us as it was very difficult to programme and it took lots of tries to get it right. We were very nervous about the competition as we had never done anything like this before. We went round all the entries and praised them all. In the competition we came third.

Mufti Day
At the end of term we had a mufti day to raise funds for our dolphin and panda that we adopt from WWF. We get newsletters and information to let us know how our animals are doing. I hope we can raise more money for our panda and our dolphin next year.

Moving
Moving was hard for everyone. There were hundreds of boxes to be moved from Callander to Strathyre. When we moved back to the school before Christmas Class 1 and Class 2 were ready for us. The cupboards and drawers were filled with everything we needed to do our work but Class 3 which is our Hub was still filled with boxes to get put in the store cupboard. Everything there eventually got put in the cupboard and class 3 started to get transformed into our new HUB with a robotics corner, a maker station, cool library with bean bags, computers, play trays which are filled with things to make a story up and there is going to be an outdoor leaning table. Outside everything is the same, we still have a play area out the front and the top woods are still the same with trees, paths and hill to run up. The friendship hut is still there but it is filled with things until springtime. We lost our ‘chocolate factory’ in the bottom woods but we have a new one at the very top of the school grounds and we have been given buckets and spoons for it. Our new school is great.
