Boat trials at the Peedie Sea

Today a few lucky people had the chance to go over to The Peedie Sea and launch the boat that one of our children has been involved in making with his uncle. There was not just one boat but three there and everyone got a chance to try them out! Exciting! 

Habitat in a tray

We have been learning about habitats and the animals that live in different places, and how they are adapted to their environment and the other animals and plants that they share these with.

Each group chose a habitat to make a model of in a tray. Each group had to show three creatures that lived there and explain how they were adapted to live there and with the other creatures.

Knex shop

We have been using calculating with money in maths so to get some practice we set up a Knex shop. Each half of the class took turns selling and buying after working out a price range or making a shopping list. Of course our enterprise skills have been honed through the experience of the School Fair and there were lots of flat packs and offers - some not as good a bargain as they may have seemed at first!

It gave us a good chance to use coins and notes and work out how many items we could buy within a budget.

The School Fair, The Glaitness Herald and our ideas for Broad Street.

Ready to sell!

This year's School Fair was a big sucess. Our stall sold out of birdhouses and feeders and The Glaitness Herald. We managed to payback our loan for the printing costs and make a profit for the school fund too. We had some excellent newspaper sellers who went around the whole school selling as they went. It was very satisfying to see people sitting having a cup of tea and reading our newspaper.

At the town hall this week there is an exhibition showing ideas for Broad Street and some of our ideas are up there beside the plans and photographs. Please go and have a look if you can - they are on display until next Saturday.

The Glaitness Herald is here!

Here are the lists on Spelling City for the final Spelling Bee of the year for next week. Any words not on the Spelling City list that you learn will gain you EXTRA points!
Spelling Bee LIST 1  and Spelling Bee LIST 2.

This week we published our newspaper The Glaitness Herald. Let us know if you would like a copy - they are £1 each. We may have some left at the school fair on Saturday, but you'll have to hurry!

Ready for sending to the printers!

The final copies are ready!
