In Primary 6 and Primary 6/5 we were lucky enough to have some online lessons from Sandie (The Project Coordinator for Languages) from The Royal Zoological Society. Sandie taught us some interesting scientific facts about Pandas and we also got the chance to learn some Mandarin.
Who knew that pandas had a hidden bone which acts as a thumb and that pandas poo 50 times a day! They go through a lot of bamboo. We learned about the life cycle of a panda , along with some interesting information about their habitats in China. We enjoyed an explanation of the history of Chinese symbols and we helped to decipher the symbols for different habitats.
The results are in for week one of the 2021 Active Fun Challenge. Click on the link below to watch the Results Show to find out which house is in the lead and if we made the West Lothian Top 3!
