P3 Visit The Dark Sky Park
Primary 3 have thoroughly enjoyed our evening visit to the Dark Sky Park. This year was particularly special  as we were also the first school to ever visit their brand new planetarium. During our visit we got to spend time looking through the telescope, participate in hands on activities in the science room but the highlight was most definitely the new planetarium. In this, we got to lie back and journey through space…. we saw what it looks like when a star dies, a range of star constellations, the milky way and the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. It was a fantastic visit, we learned lots and we enjoyed every moment of it.
Here are just a small range of our pictures…
SLC2 Ancient Egypt
We compared houses in Ancient Egypt to our own houses. We found that they had flat roofs where they often slept and ate! Houses were built up high to avoid sand being swept into the house.
We used building materials to build our own Egyptian houses.
Science in P4
Primary 4 learnt all about the mummification process as part of their interdisciplinary topic of the Egyptians. They learnt about the history of mummification, carried out a scientific investigation and then applied what they had learnt to mummify a tomato.
The Glasgow Science Centre came to the school to do an input and workshop with the boys and girls. P4 learnt about the human body and how their body works. They carried out fun activities and loved learning about what their body can do!
Lots of thought showers were happening in P4 when they were learning all about the weather. They carried out scientific investigations into how the water cycle works and made a model of tornadoes using soapy water and a bottle!
This term P4 have been learning all about the human body. They have learnt about the different systems for the body (e.g. Respiratory, digestive etc.). They studied the human skeleton, muscles and joints. They even made their own functioning human finger to demonstrate hinged joints!
