Our week in Scotland

We had a great time in Scotland, we loved the games room and the views, one of the best views was from the top of a mountain, it stood 1491 feet in the sky.

 We went fly fishing and caught 5 rainbow trout and ate 2 of them they were very nice

We went out on a bike ride to and around Loch Katrine and Loch Ard.

We had a great time and a good stay.

sand martins

Sand martins live in the edge of sand banks, they hide in little holes for there houses, then they make nests

and the female lays her eggs.

They have migrated from Africa to England so today we went to Queens park and tried to spot them but couldn't find any but we did see lots more birds like Canadian geese and coots. We also saw a
swan marking its territory.

Our day at Techniquest

On Wednesday we went to techniquest and had lots of fun. There was lots of different things to do and play. I liked the mirror path - it had mirrors all around you and you had to find your way through the path. It was fun to do because you could see your reflection in the mirror trying to figure it out. Here is my sister trying to work it out.



 There were more things to play with such as an air cannon, an animation where you could make still pictures come to life, a music game where you had to remember the pattern and a chest you had to open with a magnet.

In the workshop we were learning how to program robots to drive around the table without falling off or

hitting the Lego man. I worked in a group with my brother and 2 other girls. We set some instructions on the computer and downloaded the commands for it to follow. We set the direction, how many wheel turns, the speed and sensors.

Scripture Sleuth

  Concord is a young boy with an older brother and a younger sister, his dad is a reporter for the local news paper.When ever there is a mystery Concord is happy to find out the story, with help from the bible

This is one of 5 books in the series. You can find out more about them  here.

I like this book because it is fun to figure out the mystery. My favourite chapter was the vase case. The reason I liked it is because it was interesting to work out from the clue in the bible

Colours of the rainbow

We went on a walk and saw different natural things of the colours of the rainbow.
