Electricity – Circuit Building

This week the children have been learning about electrical circuits and the different components you might find in a circuit. The children were able to create their own circuits using a bulb, battery, switch and wires. Using their prior knowledge about electricity so far they were able to identify how they can keep safe whilst building their own circuits and had lots of fun doing this with their peers in the classroom!

Firework Art Lesson

The children in Primary 4 created their own firework and bonfire designs using different coloured chalk on a piece of black sugar paper. The children learned what techniques they should use with the chalk to create their fireworks and they were able to make them look realistic. The children really enjoyed this lesson and were able to share their own firework stories and could discuss the important safety aspects when being around fireworks. Well done Primary 4!

SSPCA Workshop

This week the children had a professional from the SSPCA called Chris, who came into our classroom to talk about the work he does to prevent the cruelty of animals and spread awareness to the young people across Scotland. The children really enjoyed the workshop and Chris had a sorting challenge for them to do which involved sorting things that are good for an animal to those that are bad for them. All the children enjoyed meeting Chris and if they see an animal in distress in their local communities they will know what to do thanks to the wonderful work of the SSPCA!
