P4 Explore The Human Body

February 4, 2020 User deactivated Leave a comment

In P4 today we had fun exploring The Human Body. We transformed our classroom into a surgery and there were four stations we had to attend to. Each pupil was provided with a surgical mask and gloves to ensure they worked in a hygienic manner. We had fun creating and placing organs on our patients. We studied optical illusions and our heart rate. Our kidney filtration experiment consisted of mimicking how our kidney filters waste from our blood. Lots of fun and hilarity was had by all.

Our thanks must go to Armour Vets of Mauchline for their kind donations of masks, gloves, surgical cloth and syringes.

On Thursday 16th January SLC3 had a follow up visit to Dumfries House to further investigate electricity. We were given a tour of the house and explored how electricity has been developed throughout the years. We then created our own circuits using buzzers, motors and bulbs. We even managed to create a human circuit using the computer, the whole class were able to join in!

As part of our topic the children experimented with sliding friction. We used a variety of surfaces and a toy car. We had to plan and organise our resources, working alongside a partner.

P7 – Spectacular Spectrum Science

Primary 7 have been learning about the properties of light. We have been learning about Issac Newton’s discovery on the colour of light. We used prisms and torches to refract light so we could observe that light is made up of the different colours of the rainbow.

P3/4 Dumfries House

We had a wonderful day at Dumfries House on Friday. As part of our IDL, we visited the farm and the farm animals. We got to touch and feed some farm animals including chickens, ducks and pigs. We also learned about the journey of milk from source to consumer. A highlight was definitely getting to use ingredients to prepare and bake our own cheese and chive scones. We even made our own butter!
