Torando Experiement

This week Primary 4/5 discovered that they could create a tornado in a jam jar.  If you want to try this at home follow the instructions below.

What you will need:

  • jar with lid
  • Water
  • Vinegar
  • Clear liquid dish soap
  • A pinch of glitter

Make it happen!

  1. Fill the jar 3/4 full of water.
  2. Put in one teaspoon of vinegar and one teaspoon of dish soap.
  3. Sprinkle in a small amount of glitter.
  4. Close the lid and twist the jar to swirl the water and see a vortex like a tornado form in the center of the jar.

Christmas Cards

Stop the Press – Don’t buy your Christmas Cards Yet!!!

All the children in the school are busy designing their own Christmas Cards. We are hoping to send these away to the printers next week in the hope that we can distibute the order forms (with an example of your child’s work) after the October holidays. These are looking really good with the children puting in lots of effort. Primary 2 are running this enterprise and have yet to decide on a price – this will be on your order form.

You will not be disappointed!!!!
