P6/5 Kids go Wild – Highland Games
Today we took part in a mini Highland Games.
We had a Tug-of-War, a sack race, a wheelbarrow race and even had a go at tossing the caber.
Well done to everyone who took part and encouraged their teammates to do their best.

P6/5 Outdoor Learning – Building snow towers
Today P6/5 found what was left of the snow and had some fun.
We had to work in a team and build the highest snow tower possible in 15mins.
The winning team working extremely well together and build a snow structure which was 138cm tall! It was very impressive.
Well done to the other teams who also worked very hard.
P6/5 Outdoor Learning
Last week we spent time in the garden inspecting soil samples.
We found snails, lots of worms and even a centipede!
We used magnifying glasses and microscopes to get a better look at things. The worms were very interesting up close and we found tiny pieces of glass in the soil that “sparkled like diamonds”
