I would like to congratulate Wick North Primary School for their forecast that was pretty much spot on in the John O'Groat Journal last week :)
they did the forecast for the weekend just gone. This is a new year long project being organised by the Caithness branch of the British Science Association and me. There are 4 local primary schools involved, Wick North, Pennyland, Lybster and Watten. They each take it in turns to make a forecast to go in either the courier or groat and there is a panel judging their presentation and accracy. Each full term end there will be a winner chosen by the scores of this panel and their accuracy of forecast and the winner will be awarded a cheque for £100 for the school to spend as they wish ~(£50 each off the newspaper and BSA).
Pennyland have just been published today.
I hope you will all take a peak at what the kids are doing, it;s a great bit of fun and healthy competition :)
