As part of our Scottish fortnight, P3/4 are learning about different Scottish Inventors. Today we learnt about John Logie Baird who invented the first TV.
After learning about his life and creating a timeline of significant events, we worked in groups to create our own mini TVs!
We have been exploring the water cycle and created an experiment to see the processes involved. We looked at the different states of water – liquid, water vapour (gas) and solid and discussed the processes of evaporation and condensation.
Having learnt about products and resources the rainforests give us, we decide to look into fairtrade products.
P3/4 watched a video describing what can happen to non-fairtrade farmers who grow crops and compared this to farmers who are fairtrade farmers. They worked in pairs to compare the journeys these products take. We had a lot of discussion about how it is fair that the farmers get a fair price and what they can do with the money.
The results are in! P3/4 have come to the conclusion that plants need both light and water to grow healthily. We examined all the plants and we used our measuring skills to measure the growth of each plant.

We learn about the products and resources we can get from the rainforests. Pupils then learnt how to create a PicCollage on the iPad to display their learning about the rainforest products and resources.
We have been learning about the plants in the rainforest and we are carrying out an experiment to investigate what plants need to grow.
We watched a video and then designed an experiment to grow cress in different conditions. Each group had 4 pots to plant and then we will vary the conditions for each pot – sunlight and water, no sunlight and no water, sunlight and no water, and water but no sunlight. We drew a labelled diagram and wrote our own hypothesises.
P3/4 scanned QR codes to access different websites on our iPads to find out information about rainforest plants.
