P3/4 Africa
Vicki came and told us about Africa how children and adults go to a well and get water dirty or clean water. Only some parts of Africa have clean water because those parts got help from other countries. Also the people have to carry the dirty or clean water in a bucket on their head so their backs don’t get sore. The school has no floors or windows. the academy is outside but luckily the are blessed with the sun so they won’t get wet well they should not. And they wash their clothes in dirty water or in clean if they are lucky.
Females in the Workplace
Yesterday we had a visit from Diane M. She was a firefighter. I thought it was cool to see a firefighter in real life. We got to see the hose, her boots, the helmet, the jacket and the rope to try to make a knot. I liked the visit from Diane it was fascinating listing to the training exercise how they had to run with a hose 25m and back she said it was good for a start but after 2-3 times it would get boring but she did it.
P4/5 Ghana
We have been learning about Ghana. And their houses were made of mud and straw. They don’t have much water and food. A lot of people sadly die and people jumps on cars to get to places.
P5S-firefighter
We were learning about a firefighter. She told us that she was a swim person for 20 years. And she did her firefighter test but she failed then she. Went to the doctor because she was deaf on one ear and got lots of tests. She did not get hearing ads. she tried again and she did it was hard but she did it.
P6S Discrimination
What is Discrimination
Discrimination is when you look or have a disability you get treated unfairly . One of the big reasons of discrimination is boys are better than girls. When you think of a firefighter or police most people think of men this is because years ago women were only allowed to clean and cook because they were called weak and slow .
P4/5 disability
This week we have been learning about ADHD Dyslexia and autism. And we learned if you have ADHD you fidget a lot and you get distracted quickly. Also if you do have dyslexia you struggle with reading writing and more but they are more creative then others.
P7M- Disability
This week for diversity week we were learning about disabilities and they include Autism, Down syndrome, Dyslexia, ADHD, Deaf and blind and we were learning about that for the past few days this week. I have found it really fun learning about this stuff as it is interesting

S.T.E.M Week
S.T.E.M Week- what we did on Stem Week
Monday –
On Monday the part of STEM we did was Science (Physics and Chemistry) and engineering.
On Monday we built ramps and tested them to see how far the cars would travel when they went down the ramps also to test which ramp was the best with height and length. Another thing we did on Monday was draw a euro tunnel and we did journey activities. The journey activities included life cycles, linking animals and many more. we also made paper aeroplane’s and through them to see how far they could go, and we tried to get it better every time to see if we could go further. Also we learned about different types of rocks and a little about volcano eruptions, we did our own volcano eruption.
Learning intention: I can make something then if something is wrong fix the mistakes.
Next steps: to try and test the ramps a little bit better.
Tuesday –
On Tuesday the part of STEM week we did was engineering.
On Tuesday we took a trip to Peter head and visited JBS and score and these are both engineering companies. In JBS they had a magician, and we had a little tour of the job site and got to work a crane. At score we got another tour of the job site, we got to see a jet engine and how they test it we got to go into the control room and also got to do an obstacle course and other fun activities.
Learning intention: I understand how to work a crane safely.
Next steps: my next steps are to volunteer for more things next time.
Wednesday –
On Wednesday the part of STEM we did was biology.
On Wednesday we did biology. We watched an episode of David Attenborough (Wild isles) it was about the UK and all the islands around it and about all the animals that live on it. We did some activities on that topic that included living things, non-living thing and animals and plants. (etc)
Learning intentions: I can understand what an invertebrate and a vertebrate.
Next steps: add more information about the animals and plants.
Thursday –
On Thursday the part of STEM we did was biology, maths and technology
On Thursday we had science with Miss Reynolds, we learned about different types of flowers and parts of them. After science we did some work with the robots (bee-bots, rugged robots and dot and dash).
Learning intentions: i can understand how to use the robots.
Next step: to try and understand a little bit more.
Friday –
On Friday the part of STEM we did was biology
On Friday we had more science with Miss Reynolds, and we broke up a flower into its segments, we got to see the petals, eggs and more. We later then put it onto a sheet of paper with tape and labelled everything.
Learning Intentions: I can take a flower apart and find all the pieces and label them.
Next steps:to try and not lose all the pieces of the flower.
