I am sad that it is the end of term as we don't get to do the powan blog. But next year we hope to have the powan again and the blog. That makes me happy.

I wonder where the fish are in the loch and how big they are.

I loved looking after the powan and I loved saving them from extinction. But now it is the holidays and we will have a nice break.
By Logan
I hope we will be working with the powan next year.

I have really enjoyed working with the powan this year and am excited about the summer holidays.
By Olivia
This is my last week at Luss Primary School and I will miss everyone and our work on the powan.

We sang our "Song of the Powan" at our church service on Tuesday. P7 got to ring the bell as a leaving tradition!

We loved our visit from Ms. Bryce and Mr. Adams from the Loch Lomond Fisheries Trust. We are invited in the autumn to the Scottish Centre for Ecology and Natural Environment to take part in sampling and counting the various species of fish in Loch Lomond. This centre is run by Glasgow University.

P5-7 pupils.

Ms. Bryce was very enthusiastic about her talk and the fish she described.
She said that the Brook Eel has a disk in it's mouth to bite the person or fish
and to soak up the blood.
By Savannah.
The talk by Ms. Bryce was fantastic. We thanked them very much for coming to our school and giving us a lot of information about Loch Lomond, the other fish and our other local habitats.
By Savannah
Yesterday I was pleased with how much I managed to remember about the powan from the last few years. I remembered a lot of facts and answered a lot of questions.

Oops reservoir!
Yesterday Ms. Bryce told us that powan fish have also been introduced to Loch Sloy and the Carron Resevoir.

We will post our words as soon as we have finished writing them. We will sing them to the tune of "Yesterday" by the Beatles.
Today we are linking our blog to music. We are writing words for our "Powan Song" to sing at our end of term service.

Today we used the pie charts on the blog to revise fractions, decimals and percentages.

We also linked our blog to music today and created a Powan Rap. We used some percussion instruments to help with this. We all loved doing it!
Today we have been linking our blog to literacy and art. We designed and created cartoons called "Lussie Goes Home." We worked individually and our cartoons tell the story of the egg, the hatching, the release into Loch Lomond and the adventures in the loch.

Today we used the blog to help us with our maths. We made bar graphs and pie charts from the numbers of pages that have been viewed and the countries around the world who have looked at our blog. We loved doing this.
