Every year Plockton primary school makes a good achievement in growing plants. We grow potatoes, sweet peas, leeks etc. If you buy our things at our plant sales and you think they are really tasty, it is because we grow them in our greenhouse. Our planter or helper Bob gives up his time and comes to the school and we grow tasty vegetables and nice flowers.

On Thursday we learned how to weave. We went in partners me and Laura were partners. Laura weaved first. Mrs Berry put a table upside down. We used the colors of the rainbow. The weaving was fun. The colours flashed in the light.

On Thursday 16th April Mrs Berry came in for art. We were weaving. Mrs Berry used an upside down table as a loom. We used sweet wrapping paper. We used the colours of the rainbow. We did half and the gaelic class did the other half. It was fun. It looks nice in the sun.

A lady called Pat Duchart from Shell Science came into our school and taught us about science. The Gaelic class went first and made band rollers. It was really good and enjoyable. After break the English class went and made balloon buggies. After lunch both classes went into the Portacabin and did lots of different activities. We mixed up into groups and solved the problems, such as how to work the Lego train and to fix the alarms. After we had gone round the activities we got into pairs and got the solar panels to light.

Thainig boireanach leis an t-ainm Pat Duchart agus rinn i buth obrach comhla ris an sgoil. Bha a’bhuth-obrach mu dhèidhinn saidheans. Chord e rium oir ‘s toigh leam saidheans. Rinn sinn tòrr stuth mar a’deanamh bandrollers. Bidh thu a’cuir pìos fiodh mun cuairt is mun cuairt is mun cuairt, agus an uair sin bith thu ga leagail as agus bith thu a ruith air falbh.

One Friday in November the school had a mask workshop. It was led by Russell. He made loads of masks. We started with an activity where you had to say ‘shut it’. When someone says ‘shut it’ to you you say ‘leave it out’, then you point to someone and say ‘oi’. I enjoyed it because it was funny.

A man called Russell came in to do a mask workshop with us. We put masks on and made different expressions. Then we did unexpected expressions for the masks. It looked hilarious. We had fun making up characters for some of the masks. I was paired up with Matthew. Finally we put on masks for a big photo. I really enjoyed the workshop because we learned about expressions and acting.

[mouse over the first image for the text] Plockton Primary School English class used 2Create. We wrote some stories in a book and brought them to life on the computer. You can move the pictures on the screen, you put text bubbles in and you can change one scene to another. You can draw whatever you like and it’s more fun than sitting writing in a book all day.

2Create is a fun computer programme. It helps people who are not good at reading because the story moves and it can have speaking on it which can help them as well. Our headteacher took our 2Create stories to the Scottish Learning Fair to the 2Simple company.

There were pancakes and decorated biscuits. In the model section there were dinosaurs, motor bikes and vegetable models. There were a lot of knitted jumpers and sewn jackets. We won prizes for carrots and potatoes.

Look how big our carrots are. It was good fun doing this.
