The children rose to the challenge by designing and making the most amazing desk organisers, showing imagination and great talent!
Well done boys and girls!
After our walk to look at the statues around Aberdeen, the children decided that the inventors we looked at in class needed to be celebrated with their own sculptures. They were Scottish and they did great things!
So after initially planning our design we got to work with the creating. we used mod-roc, which the children loved using and it has given us the most amazing results.
We then added the details like cotton wool for hair and beard! I’m sure Mr. Bell would be delighted!!
The best way to show off our sculptures…of course, our own pop-up Art Gallery in the conference room. The whole school came to view our work.
The children did themselves proud with their good manners and behaviour. (It was a long hour!)
Most of all though they shared all that they had learned about these famous men!
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Fleming
John Logie Baird
The children all really enjoyed our Art Gallery and were so proud of themselves! They all enjoyed chatting to the boys, girls and staff who visited us and shared their learning so well!
I was very proud ! Well done P2 and P2/3!
This time our challenge was to find out which shape of column was the strongest from a square-based column, a triangular- based column or a cylindrical column.
We quickly found that we could balance the most books on the cylindrical column.
The children were then given a further challenge to double the number of books that they could balance. I was so proud of them as each group managed to double their original load.
Two groups excelled themselves by building structures that could balance over 45 books!!!
We have been making boats. We used a small piece of bubble wrap, 12 straws and 4 cups.
The challenge was for the boat to have a cargo of one 1p coin.
We all managed this!
The competition was to see which boat would hold the most pennies. Emma and Magnus, Mirren and Riley C and Lonnie and Mia managed to make a boat which held 48 pennies. Well done!!
