This Tuesday we were lucky enough to have a trip to the Dundee Science Centre! We have been learning all about the differences between a chemical change/reaction and a physical change. Physical changes tend to be reversible, whilst chemical changes…

1. Create something new
2. Produce Heat/light/sound
3. Change colour
4. Release a smell
5. Produce bubbles or fizz
6. Are hard to reverse

We were given the chance to learn about other forms of science too! We have been looking into chemistry, but Sensation gave us the chance to explore biology and physics too. We were very grateful to be shown round and accompanied by such kind and knowledgeable scientists.

What a great way to end the term 🙂

Merry Christmas from Primary 6!

Three shows in two days is really exhausting!

After a morning of working hard in Maths, Miss Nimmo said we needed to give our brains a little bit of a break! So this afternoon, we got into the festive spirit and made decorations for our own P6 Christmas tree.

We discussed all of the different meanings Christmas has for us and our own family’s traditions at this time of year, whilst of course – listening to Christmas music! 

This week’s maths task, allowed us to use our knowledge and skills in a practical setting! We were given the chance to design the layout of our learning space, measuring the area and volume of objects in the class, and creating a scaled down 2D model, that we could manipulate and shape into the layout that we liked. We then voted on whichever model we liked the most and changed the layout of the class accordingly!
