We explored magnets, magnetism, the poles of a magnet and how they are used every day and the force of attraction or how they can repel.

P4/5 RSPB bird survey
We observed the birds we could see from our playground and garden. We kept a tally of how many varieties we saw and found some feathers that we tried to identify.
P4/5 Litter Pick
As part of our commitment to Global Goal 13 and to East Ayrshire Clean Green Award and Eco Schools Scotland we went on a local community litter pick.
P4/5 Science
As part of our ‘forces’ topic we were learning about air resistance this week. We made paper aeroplanes and parachutes. We tested them and evaluated then modified them to improve them.
P4/5 Maths
Exploring, learning and reinforcing times tables with Numicon.
p4/5 Forces topic
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!
