Primary 5 have been learning all about the water cycle for our topic ‘Rivers’. We created a water in a cycle in a bag. This provided us with first hand experience of the way in which the water cycle actually works. Take a look at our pictures to find out more.
As part of our Topic Polar Lands linking to the water cycle we went a trip to Dumfries House and took part in lots of experiments. We then enjoyed exploring outside at the water park.
As part of our Health and Wellbeing we have been learning all about the way in which alcohol and substance misuse can damage our body. We have found this topic really interesting but very scary. Yesterday we began our experiment into the effects that alcohol can have on our liver and because it was something that was so good for us to be doing a Health and Wellbeing Officer from East Ayrshire Council came in and observed us. Ms Jarvis told us that we were one of the best behaved P7 she had come across d that we were hugely responsible throughout the afternoon.
We will keep you up-to-date with our results…
We have been having lots of fun learning all about Ancient Egypt. We are now onto week 2 of our mummification science experiment and this week we had to vacate the classroom because things were getting stinky!! The mummified objects are now looking smaller, browner, thinner, and wrinkly and have no water or juice left in them. The non-mummified objects are very smelly, mouldy, and green and have liquid oozing out of them. If you look at our pictures can you tell the mummified objects from the non-mummified objects?
As part of our Health and Wellbeing we have been learning the importance of looking after our teeth. We are in the middle of an experiment where we have a tooth submerged in Diet Coke and one submerged in Coca-Cola… We think that the tooth in the regular Coke will rot faster – what do you think?
