The children of Sandaig Primary were taking part in a project called The Mix. The Mix is about the children from p1 to p7 mixing up into different classes. We learnt about our five values, Cooperation, Caring, Attitude, Manners and Respect. We had a special assembly about Respect. We had a bunch of letters and Hayley went up and sorted them out and it spelt Respect.

On Tuesday primary 6 were learning to make instruments loud and soft.
We where using a triangle, cymbal, guiro, ocean drum and a tambour.
To make the triangle loud tap it hard or hit it with a metal stick. To make it soft you could hit lightly or use your hand to tap it.
To make the guiro loud rub the stick fast up and down the bumps. To make it soft you cover the holes.
To make the cymbals loud you tap it with the stick. To make the cymbals soft you hold it by the edge.
With the ocean drum you had to move it side to side because al the little metal balls inside will bang against the sides
To make the tambour loud bang the tambour hardly. To make the tambour soft bang it lightly or you could place it on a floor or a table then bang it. Try doing this to a couple of instruments. What are your results?

The other week P7m made smoothies, we planned how to make it first. Then we all helped make Mr McKean smoothie. We first prepared our ingredients which were juicy strawberries, sweet honey, 2 glasses of lovely white milk, rocking raspberries and a sour lemon. We then chopped and sliced the juicy strawberries, next we crushed the rocking raspberries, then we poured all our ingredients into a blender, next we squeezed the sweet honey in, and then we poured 2 glasses of milk in the blender and then we squeezed the lemons in. At last we got to start to mix it all. Finally we got to relax, sip and enjoy.

Today the Sandaig pupils posted some of there Solutions poems and some 5 word poems to the Poems blog.I was delighted to see that the McClure students has replied with posts of their own on the Poems blog and adding lines to the Solutions poems.
Here is a great example, first David from Sandaig:
Coldness
Snow
Fighting
Frowns
Happiness
Austin from McClure posted:
without a frown, no one would know what happiness is, no one would ever know the difference. without the cold, there could be no warmth, else how would we know what we've got, unless we know what it feels like to live without it
my name is Austin, im thirteen, and tall for my age, i have an interest in poetry and music, [songs and ting like that] so this should be interesting...
Yes it should be interesting.

We used different kind of colours of pens. We recorded the poems.
The first line was a problem, the second was a solution, the third was another problem and so on.
Example:
Lost your child?
Knit another one!
What if you run out of wool?
Different people do different lines, Mr Johnston will take the poems to Sammy McClure Middle School in Georga, USA for the student there to finish.
