We explored buoyancy and items that would float or sink. We discussed what the items were made of and why they were more likely to float or sink.

p4/5 HWB
Today we were exploring foods that are healthy and unhealthy. We identified which ones we should have more or less of and chose foods that could be a healthy lunch choice. We discussed the impact of choosing too many unhealthy foods and why they are unhealthy.
p4/5 HWB and Outdoor learning
We harvested the carrots made in the garden and made them into a delicious carrot soup. We also made bird feeders with apples and sunflower seeds.
p4/5 Forces
Over the past few weeks we have been investigating forces on objects. We have created fair tests, changed variables and evaluated results. We have explored gravity, push, pull, height, friction and water resistance.
P4/5 Eco Code: Global goal 13 Climate Action
Primary 4/5 completed the co Schools environmental review. They identified what we are doing and what we could do. We identified one of the main issues is that the recycling bins for paper are not used correctly. The pupils’ designed posters to remind classes what should go in the paper bin.
Next they created a new Eco code for our school on the 4 key areas of Transport, Waste, Energy and Nature. The Eco leader from P7 came to select the most informative codes. These will now be displayed around the school. Well done p4/5!
P4/5 Science
As part of our forces topic we explored the forces on different objects and grouped them by force: squeeze, push, pull, twist and stretch. After we took a quiz to test our knowledge on forces.
