At long last we took delivery of the fish eggs that we have been waiting for since the tank was delivered just over a week ago. The team delivered just shy of 200 eggs which looked a lot less than we had anticipated. We impressed the team with our knowledge about the fish and how constant we had been keeping the water in the tank. We check the temperature every couple of hours and add ice if the temperature is getting above 10C. Occasionally the temperature is about 5C and we are having to remove the ice to raise the temperature.<\/p>\n

As the eggs were being delivered we could see clearly that two of the eggs had changed in colour and needed to\u00a0 be removed as they had died, we understand that we are likely to lose quite a few as the weeks go on, this is nature and we know that this happens in the wild as well as in a tank.<\/p>\n

Our knowledge of temperature has impressed Mr Reed; he has been testing our reading of thermometers and can now rely on us to do the temperature checks. We have also been learning about negative numbers and how to find the difference between two different temperatures.<\/p>\n

As part of our Literacy we mapped out our very own island similar to the one Robinson Crusoe found himself stranded on, we added key features and begun to explain why each of the features was important to the survival of Robinson.<\/p>\n

We said goodbye to Doris our class Tattie Bogle, she was a great member of the class but it was felt she needed to go and join other Tattie Bogles. We will not forget the poem we learnt to celebrate Scottish poetry.<\/p>\n

The Singin Tattie Bogle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Alane upon the field she stood,
\nThe tattie-bogle, tall an’ prood.
\nBut certie, she wis smairt an’ braw,
\nA bonnie lass, tho’ made o’ straw.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Her gowden hair wis made o’ oo.
\nHer dentie goon when it wis new
\nLangsyne, hid been the guidwife’s best.
\nSae trigly wis the bogle drest!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The beasts they cam’ frae a’ the airts.
\n(The tod ran tours frae furrin’ pairts.)
\nThey cam’ by day, they cam’ by nicht,
\nTae see a maist byordnar’ sicht.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 An’ craws an’ sparras by the score,
\nA wale o’ burds, mair nor afore.
\nThe fermer roared an’ raged aboot.
\n‘A’ll cast yon tattie-bogle oot!’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pair tattie-bogle, she wis wae.
\n‘Eh!’ said the houlet, ‘Whit’s a dae?’
\nHe flew doon frae the elder tree.
\n‘Noo, dry yer e’en an’ herk tae me.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ‘See, lassie, tak ma guid advice.
\nThere is nae yiss ye bein’ nice.
\nCan ye nae glower an’ skreich an’ a’
\nTae sen’ thae cooardie burds awa’?’<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The bogle grat nae mair: instead,
\n‘A’m much obleeged tae ye,’ she said.
\n‘Ma voice is lood – jist like the craik!’
\n‘Then sing,’ he said, ‘for ony sake!’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It chilled the verra bluid tae hear
\nThe bogle’s sang: frae far an’ near
\nThe burds rose up, a’ frichtit sair
\nAn’ nivver cam back ony mair<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sae should ye pass at skreich o’ day
\nAlang the road frae Auchenblae,
\nAn’ hear a strange uncanny soun,
\nThat scares the burds for miles aroon,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 A soon like pincils on a sclate,
\nBe on yer way an’ dinna wait.
\nYe can be shair as onything
\nYe’ve heard the tattie-bogle sing.<\/p>\n
