On Monday we attended the Primary 7 Transition Football Tournament at Broxburn Academy. This was organised by S6 Sports Leaders and Active Schools. We were split into teams and played different school teams. Even though it was raining heavily we all persevered with the games and tried our best. The organisers commented on how well organised and behaved we all were.

On Thursday we visited Dynamic Earth to learn more about the different environments in the world and the various stages in the evolution of the Earth. We got to feel some reindeer antlers and fur and answered questions about animals that live in colder regions of the world. We also enjoyed the Volcanic room and the Time Machine. We then had a workshop where we had to create different parts of the landscape such as corries, moraine, u-shaped valleys etc. We tweeted some pictures as we went around on the school Twitter feed.
