We have also been learning about air resistance.  We made parachutes according to specific instructions to ensure they “captured” the air and floated slowly to the ground.

 

 

P5B have been exploring contact forces and their uses in the world around us.  The children created boats from a variety of materials which had to be constructed in such a way to be buoyant.

Primary 5 enjoyed learning about Quentin Blakes artwork and used his lightbox technique along with water colour to recreate the some characters from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”.

The class took part in some Maths Week Scotland activities, this was their favourite.  They had to figure out which nets made cubes and if there were any perfect dice.

Primary 5 started off the year by taking part in a team challenge.  As well as working on their teamwork skills they also had to try and make the tallest standing structure using paper plates, art straws and sticky tape.
