Science: Materials
Last week, Primary 2/3 were learning about Non-Newtonian Fluids. We started by predicting whether or not we thought we would be able to walk on a swimming pool full of custard, what do you think? The children discussed the difference between solids and liquids and then loved getting messy when exploring the cornflour.
Marvellously Messy P2/3!
As part of their Health and Wellbeing focus this term, Primary 2/3 are learning about the wider world of work. They identified a range of ‘jobs’ that they know about and then decided which ones they would like to learn more about. One of the jobs they wanted to learn more about was a police officer so we invited PC McIntyre, who is the campus cop at Loudoun Academy, to discuss his role as a police officer. He spoke to the children about crime prevention as well as considering reasons why people might commit crimes. The children also had the opportunity to see their finger prints. All children were very welcoming and excited when PC McIntyre attended, offering him a lovely welcome into Fenwick Primary School.
