P3/2 – Dinosaur Fossils

In Term 3 Primary 3/2 have been learning about dinosaurs.  This week we have been looking at dinosaur fossils, what they are and how they are made.  To develop our understanding of this we recreated how fossils can be made by layering slices of bread (to represent soil, sand, rocks, etc) one of top of the other and inserting a dinosaur shape. We then squashed down each layer as it was put on to show the pressure that layering of soil could do.  We carefully took off each slice and found our fossil shape at the bottom.

Burn’s Competition 2016

 

 

This year’s poetry competition was judged by Mrs Duncan, Chris Galbraith (minister of Boghall Parish church) and Mrs Kathryn Oliver (PT English and Languages at Bathgate Academy).  The standard was very high again and gave the judges a hard time choosing Burn’s winners.  Well done to all who made it to the final and the effort from across the school.  Below is the list of finalists :
