Reading to our Hallhouse Buddies

After a very busy first week back after the holidays, we enjoyed a walk in the sunshine to Hallhouse.

The residents welcomed us again and we enjoyed sharing our new Bug Club novels with everyone.

The staff enjoyed listening too and made us all a drink of juice before our walk back to school.

Everyone always enjoys our visits and we all end up with a huge smile on our faces.


P4/5 Funky Bunnies Art

Funky Bunnies Art

We have enjoyed experimenting with different art techniques to create amazing art work for our classroom this week.

First we used felt pens to draw flowers on  sugar paper. We explored different flower designs and tried out different colours to cover the paper.  We then used water and paint brushes to draw out the colour from the ink to create a water colour effect for the background.  
The finished results of our backgrounds looked really effective.

Next we drew zentagle patterns on our bunny templates and choose funky glasses to add to our pictures.

Our completed art work looks fantastic  and has brightened up our classroom and corridor. This has been a favourite activity this week.

P4/5 World of Work

World of Work 

During the week we learned about all the volunteers who were coming to visit us on Friday morning. We learned about what their jobs were and created questions we wanted to ask them. 
On Friday morning we split in to our different groups and spent the morning learning all about the different careers they had and what they enjoyed about their jobs. 
Our visitors were very impressed with the questions they were asked and have even asked to come back to our next World of Work event. 
Well done p4 – p7

What a great time everyone had at the Science Centre today.


🌟Primary 4/5  once again demonstrated our school values throughout the day and made all the staff and parents very proud of them!  🌟

Planetarium

We learned all about the planets and stars during our visit to the planetarium. We explored the different constellations and learned how to find the North Star in the sky. We also travelled in to space to look at the planets in our universe.

Exploring Floor 1 

We then had time to investigate, explore, learn and play together on the different levels of the science centre.

Floor 2 and 3

After lunch we visited the Bodywork’s and Powering the Future Floors.
We all agreed that the highlights of our day were ; Planetarium, Dance Mat – generate the energy and spending the day together exploring and having fun.

A huge thank you to Regan and Riley’s Mum,Kerry for coming to help us  to make our day run smoothly and helping us to have so much fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P4/5 Science Week

Capillary Action
P4/5 have been learning about Capillary Action.

Today we explored this movement using paper towels to “walk water” between cups.

Paper towels are made of many small fibres that have gaps in between them. Water gets pulled into these gaps by capillary action—the same phenomenon that allows trees to suck water out of the ground.

Chromatography  Experiment

We then used  this knowledge of capillary action to separate colours from black ink. The ink started to flow up the paper towel using capillary action and the pigments of the ink then started to separate. We explored different types of black ink pens and then different coloured pens.
