We have had a fantastic week this week and especially enjoyed our trip to the Royal Highland Show on Thursday.

We have won a silver prize in the bear Scotland competition – Can you Cantilever?, our prize will be delivered next week and Alfie has won the snowboard design competition and will be getting a snowboard made for him with the design. Our football team attended an event with other schools and did really well and the remainder of the class went bowling with Mrs Baird.

It was exceptionally busy at RHS and the sun was shining but we had a wonderful day. We took part in some RHET workshops looking at peat and making water filters, clay dams and art work with mud. We investigated oil seed rape and saw how oil is extracted from the black seeds. We learned about hemp as a food source and tasted some hemp flour pancakes , bread and oil and also had a delicious risotto with barley, asparagus, broad beans and peas. We enjoyed the activities at the Honey bee area , making our own candles, spotting the queen bee and tasting the blossom and heather honey! We watched different displays and participated in different activities with our groups from chainsaw carving, to ferret displays, showjumping and showing, mountain bike displays, sheep shearing and food tasting at different supermarkets. We returned to Seafield proudly wearing our Aldi cowboy hats !
