But we hae meat and we can eat,

And sae the Lord be thankit.”

Fractions, Decimals and Percentages

In class, Primary 6/7 have been doing fractions & percentages in maths.

The Circles and Triangles have been doing the Heinmann 8 textbook page 120. They have been working on percentages that are not friendly numbers E.G 27% instead of 20%. The Squares, meanwhile, were simplifying fractions.

Science

Today(Friday), in science, we were learning how to separate mixtures. First, we done salt and rice. We used a sieve to split the rice and the salt. The next mixture we had to separate was oil and water. To get the water and oil in different bowls, we slowly poured out the oil (decanting). Then we had to separate sand and water. We used filter paper and a funnel and we slowly decanted the water into the filter paper. The filter paper caught the sand and separated it from the water.
