After the Spirit Dancer came to Glaitness for us to learn more about it (you can read about that here), some people were very keen to go out paddling in her. Over a quarter of the class, and both the teachers, went out paddling with the Canadians in Spirit Dancer. It was great fun!

At the end of term everyone in the class received 2 awards. Some people are missing from the photographs, but we all got our John Muir Discover Award and also a Dolphin Diploma from the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS). Here are some of the class with their John Muir Awards. We spent the whole of the 4th term working towards the John Muir Award. There were 4 parts of the award -

Our class assembly taught people all about the dangers of marine litter and how it could damage humans and wildlife. It also taught people about keeping safe at sea. We heard it described as AWESOME and SPECTACULAR afterwards. We were very proud! We held a raffle at the assembly and raised nearly £200 for the lifeboat. We wrote a song (words and music) and performed it too. If Mrs MacNab ever

For the 2nd part of our Canadian Day we had a nice surprise. When we got back into school after break we found that a parcel had arrived from our link school, Outma Sqilx Cultural School in Penticton in the Okanagan Region of British Columbia. We were really excited! We took turns taking things out of the parcel. There were lots of things and everyone got some hockey cards, a bookmark and a a

For the first part of our Canadian Day the Spirit Dancer Canadian canoe came to school to visit us. Some Candians - Chris, Barbara and Bob - came too to tell us all about it. It's 42 feet long - that's nearly 13 metres long! We all climbed in and were given paddles to hold. Chris showed us how we would paddle the canoe - and also how to do a salute. Mrs MacNab was in the skipper's seat.

Way back on the 1st day of the 1st term in August, we made time capsules. You can read about it here.  This week it was time to dig them up! Mrs MacNab tricked us - she wrote on the daily plan 'problem solving' and made us think we were doing maths! She gave us clues and told us we had to work together to solve the problem. When we realised it would lead us to the time capsule we got excited.

This blog entry is about the more 'everyday' things that happened in the last week. There will be special blog entries about the rest of the week's events too. Here we are about to start our coastal food tasting. We've had a food tasting for every topic so we had to have one for the coast too. We were hoping for salmon but we got seaweed instead. Most people didn't like it, though the seaweed

Do you like our totem pole? We made it in art. We looked at pictures of some Canadian totem poles and painted small ones first, then designed and made our big Orcadian totem pole. Here are some of the paintings people made.

Molly's design was chosen to be painted onto the Spirit Dancer.  At the weekend Molly, Mrs MacNab and Mrs MacKenzie went out to Holm to paint the design onto the canoe. Drawing the design on first. Starting to add colour. Councillor Andrew Drever came to help - his handy heat gun was very useful. Doing the fine brush work on the beak. Mrs MacNab and Mrs MacKenzie did some painting, but Molly

In Art with Mrs MacNab we looked at photos of some of the artwork on the Spirit Dancer canoe. The Kwu'sukwna?qinx canoe also has designs painted on it and we've seen pictures of it. Some of the people from the Kwu'sukwna?qinx canoe family designed and painted artwork onto the Spirit Dancer canoe. Mrs MacNab challenged us to design some artwork to go onto a canoe (our own canoe, if we had one).

Friday afternoon was our 2nd attempt at Sports Day, after it was rained off last week. It was a bit too cold to have a picnic lunch outside, so we had it in the classroom instead, then went over to Picky for the races. There was a cold wind, but the rain stayed off and we kept fairly warm as we were racing. We think our Mums and Dads might have been a bit cold watching us though! Some people

We can't believe it's almost the end of the school year already. We'll soon be in P4/5! We met our new teacher this week - it was very exciting because she took us to see some chicks in her classroom. We saw one hatching, and another 2 that were eating food. They were cute. We're still rehearsing hard for the class assembly. We've been finding out about how different creatures develop.  We

We had a great time at Walliwall. We did canoeing and lots of team challenges. Can you guess what the best bit was? You'll never guess...... Mrs MacNab couldn't guess either. It was when Neil (one of the instructors) put his hat behind his ears! It was so funny - he looked like an elf! Here we are ready for canoeing. We wonder if the pupils in our link school have been out in a canoe or if

We've learned a lot of interesting things from our coastal Show and Tell this term. Joe did a great talk about lighthouses this week and brought in lighthouse painting and model lighthouse he had made. That made us wonder how many lighthouses there were in Orkney. We looked it up on wikipedia and discovered there were 7 - but we're sure we can name more than 7! We learned that you can't always

We've had a very active week, with Walliwall and Sports Day (despite the afternoon races being postponed to next week). As well as those exciting events we had a visitor this week - Cara came to visit us! She's 10 months old, and we were able to see if our ideas about what a 10 month old baby can do were correct. She was cleverer than we had expected - and mischievious too. She enjoyed playing

We had a fun morning of activites over at Picky. The races in the afternoon had to be postponed because of the rain - they'll be held next Friday afternoon instead. In the morning we went out onto the track first. We did a relay race with some unusual batons to pass! We supported each other ... After that, we went inside to play parachute games. It was great! Here we are playing sharks and

As always, it's been a busy week. In maths we're using money to solve problems and in real-life situations - like planning fictional parties. In health we've been thinking about how we grow and change, and the different things we can do as we get older. We spent some time discussing things that newborn babies can do, things that 10 month old babies can do, 3 year olds and what we can do now.

We can now reveal the winners of the land art competition which we asked you to vote on here. We were very pleased with the number of votes and all the comments that people added to our blog. The voting was very close for quite a few days, then the puffin started to pull ahead - and it was declared the eventual winner when the poll closed, with 20 votes out of the total of 47 votes cast.

We had a great trip to Birsay, studying the biodiversity of the coast there. We predicted that we would find different things to Scapa - and we were right. We didn't expect to find so many hermit crabs though - we found over 50 in one rockpool! We did a Bag the Bruck. The beach looked clean but we still managed to find 52 pieces of bruck in 5 minutes! How many different types of seaweed can

We love playing with technic lego in Golden Time. We create lots of different models and machines. Some people enjoy doing craft in Golden Time. Can you guess what we're making? We'll put photos on the blog of these when they're finished! In maths we're still working on money. We're learning about the different coins and notes. We're practising working out change.

We've been making the most of the good weather, taking our learning outside as much as possible this week. As well as MADD5 when we went to Muddisdale, we also did some other lessons outside. Here we are listening to and talking about the story of Persephone from Ancient Greece. We went outside to write our blog entry about MADD5.

We had an interesting visit from Mr Cooper from the RNLI this week. He talked to us about the lifeboat and answered lots of questions about how the lifeboat works, where the lifeboatmen sleep, what happens when there's an emergency and how quickly they have to get changed when there's a callout. We pretended we were all on a boat and it started to sink. We had to quickly get lifejackets on -

On Monday we had a K'nex workshop. We were in teams and we had to start by learning how to use K'nex (although some people had used it before). First we made squares and then cubes. When we helped each other we could build things much faster! Then we were given a challenge. We had to design and build a car which would carry someone's shoe down a ramp and across the floor - without the shoe

We spent some time researching lifeboats this week. We need this information for our class assembly. We found out that there are 3 lifeboats in Orkney - one each in Kirkwall, Stromness and Longhope on Hoy. The Kirkwall lifeboat is a Severn class boat.   We've been investigating how sand is formed. We made our own sand from stones and shells. We then looked at it using the microscope. We'll be

That's the first 4 weeks of summer term already over, the time seems to be flying by. We're really enjoying our topic - coasts.

Working together, we wrote some 'I wonder' poems about the coast. Do you know the answers? I wonder... Do crabs lay eggs under rocks? How big is an adult whale? What lives on cliffs? How big is a puffin? How are big cliffs made? How many whales are there? I wonder... Why are rocks heavy? How do fish swim? What do jellyfish eat? What do crab eggs look like?

You can find the link to the wiki in "Class 3/4's Links" on the right of this blog, or click here to be taken direct to the Orkney storytelling page. We hope you enjoy listening to our stories.

We're doing money in maths at the moment. Here we are playing money bingo. We enjoy playing games on the whiteboard too. Some people helped set up the shop. Now we'll be able to go shopping and practise buying things and giving change. We'll have to work out what we can afford to buy. We wonder how much money Mrs MacNab will let us spend. We've done lots of other things this week too. This

Under the sea is a nice play to be .... to think, or read. This is the under the sea corner in the classroom. We have this because we are studying the coast this term. In Golden Time craft we are making things to go under the sea. What do you think we will make? Here we are in Circle Time playing a game. Do you think we managed to pass the keys round without making a sound? We had to try it

Last Wednesday we went to Scapa beach, We went by bus. When we got to the beach we got off the bus and sat on the sand and we got colour cards to look for your own colour. Next we were looking for an interesting stone if you found one you had to explain why it is interesting. Then the teachers got a Nature detective book we had to tick the things we found then we had our snack. When we finished

We went to Scapa today to see what we could find there. We have been investigating the biodiversity - the variety of life - of our coast. The weather was better than we expected - although the wind blowing the sand meant we got sand in our hair! We looked for things of different sizes and colours.Sometimes looking very closely at small things was the best way to see the variety of colours on the

Time is flying and we're already into the last term! We had an exciting start to the week when the Stunt Riderz came to our school on the first day of term. They did lots of stunts to show us and had a high jump competition. We started our new topic which is coasts. We are finding out about marine litter and we're learning how to make an animation about some marine wildlife. Here we are

We finished our Solar System topic this week. It's been a really fun topic and we've enjoyed it. We really liked finding out about the space shuttle, and this week we made and launched our own rockets. We made 2 different kind of rockets. The first was blow rockets - they were launched in the classroom. The different fin designs made them fly different distances - and also how hard you blew

Miss Persidou taught us about how they celebrate Easter in Greece. Did you know that they don't roll their Easter eggs - they crack them. She taught us 2 Greek dances too. We made Easter cards. It was our last week of doing tennis in PE. We finished our Solar System topic this week. We'll do a separate blog entry about that as we had a really exciting week with it! We started thinking

We regularly practise our language skills. In Drama this week we had to pretend to be aliens from another planet - when you were in the "hot seat" you were an alien and you had to answer questions that people asked - like "What is your favourite food?" or "What does your house look like?" In RME we had to talk in groups to work together to sequence the Easter story. We enjoy going to the

We've had a really fun day. We started off with the Just Dance challenge on the Wii. We made Mrs MacNab and Mrs Scott do it too. Can you believe it was the first time they have ever had a shot on a Wii? We took about 7 photos of Mrs MacNab dancing! Mrs MacNab says this is the worst photo, but we chose it to go onto the blog because it's funny!We'll hopefully have a slideshow of more photos from

Our topic this term has been Our Solar System. As part of it we've been looking at the night sky - we've watched the moon changing and we've spotted some constellations, like Orion and the Plough. We made our own constellations and wrote myths to explain how they got into the sky. We hope you like them. Maybe, if you look very hard, you'll spot our constellations in the sky.... Shargeth the

We had something very exciting happen this week - a parcel arrived from Canada! It wasn't from our link school (Outma Sqilx'w Cultural School), it was from the Kwu Sukwna?qinx Canoe Family who visited Orkney last summer. We feel like our link is with the whole community in Penticton which is great. We were excited to see what was in the parcel and people had turns of picking things out. There

We had great fun doing science experiments on Thursday afternoon! We were investigating rocket propulsion. Here we are trying to prove that there was gas being created in a bottle. We talked about the experiement and then wrote reports on it. We did drama outside this week. We went into groups and made up plays to show why it's good to be honest, then we acted them in front of everyone in the

We've been doing some storytelling for our link school in Canada. We've finished the first story - Tam Bichan.

We celebrated World Book Day this week. We watched a live broadcast with Michael Rosen - he was really funny! Then we had our own World Book Day event in class. Everyone brought in their favourite fiction book and their favourite non-fiction book. We did book reveiews and then had time to share our love of books. Everyone got very enthusiastic about sharing their books. Mrs MacNab and Mrs Scott

Our box has arrived in our link school in the Okanagan in British Columbia, Canada. The pupils have opened it and they liked all the things inside it. They left a message for us on our blog here. They sent us some letters too and we enjoyed reading them. We're hoping to reply to them soon. We found out that they like a lot of the same things as us, but the wildlife they see is very different.

It's World Maths Day on Wednesday 3rd March. We've all got logins for the World Maths Day website (it's linked on the sidebar here too). The website is running now so we can practise - on Wednesday there will be real competitions on it all day. Today we were practising and we played against other children all over the world.

Here's the constellation some of us created this week. We wrote a myth about it too - that will be appearing on the blog in a few weeks when the other groups have done theirs. Abbie got a planetarium and brought it in for us all to see. We enjoyed watching the planets orbiting the sun and we discovered that they stay in the same order so Mercury is always the planet closest to the sun.The first

We've been having lots of fun again. Here we are in drama, acting out scenes to show good ways and bad ways of responding to people. We had lots of ideas of good ways to act and we are trying to remember good ways to deal with things in the playground too. In PE with Mrs MacNab we have started doing tennis. It's great fun! In PE on Fridays we're doing gymnastics with Mr Berry. Here we are doing

We are working on storytelling and Tom Muir came in to tell us a story. P1 enjoyed hearing him too. We're working on our own stories now - we'll be recording traditional Orkney tales and sending them to our link school in Canada. We're looking forward to hearing some of their traditional tales too.

Last week we looked at some land art made by Richard Shilling. We're hoping to make our own land art when we do some beach visits next term, but the snow inspired some of the girls and they spent break time making their own land art, and lunchtime repairing it! Team work. Reaching high to put the final pieces on. Look at it - isn't it high? "It's even higher than Mrs MacNab". The rest of the

It was a funny week last week. Some days we were at school as usual, one day school was closed because of the snow, and one day school got shut early and we all got home to play in the snow! Even the teachers. In school we were getting on with our work. Here we are doing spelling and using the dictionary to help us. In drama we were role playing lots of different scenes (scenarios) where we had

We are learning about the Solar System. We found out this week that there is a space shuttle being launched next week. It is called Endeavour and it will be going to the International Space Station. There is a countdown clock on the NASA website showing how many days, hours, minutes and seconds it is until Endeavour is launched. You can see it here.

We've been collecting things to send to our link school in Canada, the Outma Sqilx'w Cultural School. We put in lots of things we thought the pupils there would find interesting or useful. Our link class is Class 2/3/4. They have 18 pupils in the class (we have 17) and they are aged 7, 8 and 9 just like us. We're really excited about it! We hope they like the box.

In Art of the Week on Friday afternoon as looked at 'land art'. All the pictures we looked at were of things made by a man called Richard Shilling. Some people thought at first that it wasn't art because it was photographs and not "created by a hand" but the rest of the pupils persuaded them that it was art. We liked them and thought it would be fun to make our own land art.

In music we got the last 2 Greek tunes recorded. Mrs MacNab is hoping to put the tunes onto the blog at some point for parents to hear them. In PE we are still inventing games. Every week Mrs MacNab adds in a new challenge - this week it was a team game again, but it had to be something to do with space. P3 made a game with 'planets' as targets. Mrs MacNab was very pleased that they remembered

We had another challenge this week. We used the lolly sticks to decide who was in each group, then each group were given 2 planets (or the sun). We had to make a fact file for each of our planets and also make a collage planet. We all had different jobs in the group. We thought that made it easier to work together. The jobs are facilitator, materials manager, time keeper, quality control and

We learned a new game in Drama. It was like rock, paper, scissors but we had to pretend to be people from Greek myths and do actions. Can you guess who we are? We used the myth masks again. We asked the minotaur if he liked pizza. Mesuda said she liked her red eyes but if she wanted a different colour she could paint them a different colour each day. We thought that sounded cool.

Some of the class have been decorating t-shirts for the Blue Peter 'Send a Smile' appeal. You can find out more on the Pupil Council blog here.

We've been enjoying using our myth masks in Drama. We showed them to Miss Persidou who is from Greece. Miss Persidou showed us how to write our names using the Greek alphabet. In maths we've been measuring things again. We have been weighing things ... ... and we've also been measuring the capacity of lots of different containers. We had fun using coloured water for it. We estimated how much

We started our new topic called 'Our Solar System' by writing down questions we want answered during the topic. Mrs MacNab said she was very impressed with our questions. There's so much we want to know we might not have time to find it all out this term, but Mrs MacNab is putting links to lots of space websites on our class learning links on this blog, so we can look some things up ourselves.

The tree octopus On Thursday we got out the laptops and looked at a tree octopus website and found lots of information on it. Mrs MacNab asked us if we would like to adopt one. Most people said yes but James said it looked disgusting, Alanah said it too. There were lots of pictures and one of them had a tree octopus in a Christmas tree. Then Mrs MacNab told us it wasn’t real. We all felt so

We spent quite a few weeks last term working on making myth masks in small groups. We had to be able to work in a group with other people which some people found very difficult at first,l but everyone got much better at it the more we did. First we had to draw some designs for the masks. Then we started to draw out the masks and stick cardboard, bubble wrap and rolled up newspaper on them - do

It was just a 2 day week for the last week of term, but we still managed to pack a lot in. We wrote instructions for making our Christmas reindeer - there will be another post all about the reindeer soon. We held the medal ceremony for the class Olympics. Here are some of the class with their certificates and medals. Everyone was very sporting while taking part in the Olympic events, watching

We've been having lots of Christmas fun this week. We've been healthy - we got some exercise and practised our co-ordination by dancing along with 'dancing Santa'. We played some health games and we played in P3's healthy cafe. We were really happy they let us play there - it's fun. We served lots of healthy food. In maths we had to estimate how many P4s would be the same length as

Here are some of the P3s having fun practising their spelling in the sand tray. P4 were using the loop cards to practise their times tables. P4 are all now working on the 6x table but still practising the 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10. Some people have even started working on the 9x table and teaching themselves the 11x table! In RME we talked about peace and then designed peace windows. Everyone says

We seem to have linked almost all our work to Ancient Greece and maths this week. We had a Greek food tasting on Tuesday. Most people tried something new and got a sticker. One pupil tried everything! Mrs MacNab was very impressed. Some people really didn't like some of the food, especially the octopus and olives. Mrs MacNab didn't like the octopus either! Mrs Stanger said the olives were the

We've adopted a dolphin. We weren't sure what animal to adopt so we split into groups and each group researched an animal that Mrs MacNab gave them. We then had to do a short talk about our animal to persuade other people to vote for it. We used a Greek water clock to time the talks. When we counted the votes the bottlenose dolphin had the most so Mrs MacNab has adopted that

This week we were able to borrow a labyrinth which the pupils from Uyeasound School on Unst in Shetland made. We used it in Drama and we also explored other ways of using it. We had great fun! Here we are, acting out scenes from Theseus and the Minotaur. Theseus has killed the minotaur and is making his way out of the labyrinth. Can you see Ariadne and King Minos waiting for him? Another

We've been working hard again this week. We've been learning about Greek temples and Greek theatres. We learned that the words alphabet and theatre come from the Greek language. Here we are designing a Greek temple on the SmartBoard. We were pleased with the finished temple - it looked really good. In Drama we were playing a game - you had to show your emotions by walking with no speaking and

The term seems to be passing very quickly - that's the first 3 weeks of 2nd term over already! For some reason this week the camera was only used to record maths and health - and one slightly blurry photo of us doing drama. Next week we'll all try to remember to take more photos to show what we've been doing (Mrs MacNab was very pleased that Alanah took lots of photos of maths groups working

It's been another busy week in P3/4. In Drama we were exploring using our bodies. Here is a sculptor putting the final touches to his scuplture of the Statue of Liberty. Here is a state of a ballet dancer. People are touring the gallery looking at the scupltures. In PE we learned a new game called Boccia. It's pronouced 'Botcha' and is a throwing game. The Ancient Greeks invented it. We

At the end of last term we made bere bannocks. We went to the kitchen in small groups with Mrs Stanger to make them and everyone made some. We cleaned up afterwards. We cut up the bere bannocks and buttered them, then had them at our food tasting event. We took some through to let the kitchen staff try them. We were worried about what they would think because they are all

We did some Hallowe'en activities at the end of the week. On Thursday we made Hallowe'en pictures. While we were doing them Mrs MacNab put on some spooky music. Some of it made us scared because we could imagine scary monsters chasing us. We learned that music can be used to change people's mood. The music made us feel scared, then Mrs MacNab put on 'Ghostbusters' and we all felt happy and

We have been finding out about food miles. This means how far the food has travelled to get to our plate. We were very surprised that some food had travelled so far. This is us researching where the food came from. We made cartoons showing how the food travelled. Some food had to go a long way on a plane and a lorry and a boat. They use lots of petrol so it is not very green. We found out

One of our class went to a special PE event at Picky. She said it was really fun! We hope she is going to teach us some of the new games she learned.

We had a very busy week at the end of last term. The biggest event of the week was when we hosted a food tasting event in our class tourist office - look out for another blog entry about that soon.In RME we designed new buildings for St Magnus. One group said that the task had gone well because they had communicated well and they all had jobs to do but some groups found it quite hard to work

In language we've been learning about drafting and redrafting work. We've read each other's work and tried to make suggestions about what could be improved - and of course about what we think is really good too. These are some of the acrostic poems we wrote after we've improved them. We hope you like them. Orcadian accents around the islands. Rusty wrecks at Scapa Flow it’s all a mystery.

The class have been making good use of their tourist office this week, with lots of role play going on. The tourist office staff have to advise tourists from different places about how to get to Orkney, how to get around in Orkney, where to stay and where to visit. They're making a great job of it and Mrs MacNab is impressed with the way they go about it. Next week some people are coming to

Our class has set up a link with a First Nations school in western Canada. It's a small school for members of the Penticton Indian Band, and is located in the Okanagan region of British Columbia. The school is called the Outma Sqilx'w Cultural School. Some of the past pupils of the school were in Orkney this summer with their canoe family and the Spirit Dancer canoe. 3 members of our class (and

This will be a quick roundup of week 6's activities. Further information will follow when the pupils get their reports about our excursions written. It's been another busy week. We went on two excursions - to the campsite and to a hotel, as part of our Holiday Orkney topic. We're still enjoying the football game to help with our times tables.

We're still all enjoying maths and working hard on our times tables. We do some pages in the workbooks and textbooks, but we also play lots of games to help with our tables. We're hoping that we'll be able to do maths outside sometimes. In PE we're still working on ball skills. We split up into small groups and practised passing, then had a game of skittle rounders. It ended up a draw!

We've been making progress with our class tourist office. It's been set up, although it's not quite finished yet. Do you like puffin corner? This is P4 making brochures about transport to and transport in Orkney. P3 made posters. We used the computers for designing covers for our topic jotters. We used WordArt to make them. They were really colourful. We also used the computers to do
