Diving
We were very lucky today as a real life diver came to visit. Mrs Howson had read our blog on the diving experiment a few weeks ago and offered to bring in her real diving equipment to show us. She explained how the equipment worked -the suit, goggles, air tank, weights, flippers and other gear. We all got to try out the goggles, snorkel and flippers as well as breathing from the real air tank. Mrs Howson also showed us photos of some creatures she had photographed underwater. Then she very patiently answered our questions - and we had LOADS!
We all had a great time and are really pleased she visited.

What great fun. Heres a question for the Children. Did the air from the air tanks taste any different to normal air? Mr Bray (Musselburgh Grammar)

I have just found the Pencaitland Primary School blog and loved the video of Everybody Feel the Force! My children went to your school and although they are grown up now I remember they enjoyed being there. Mrs Swinton and Mrs Schimmerman were their teachers too. I will keep checking on the blog to find out what else happens at Pencaitland Primary School now.

Thank you all for inviting me to your class this week. I really enjoyed it and thought that you all asked me some great questions. Has anyone found out yet how fast a shark can swim?

Hello,
the kids should use kid’s mask/googles as we do when we are diving in Morocco!
Same for snorkels and regulators… their face is much smaller/thinner than a adult one !!!
Take care…
