We had a visit from Generation Science where we learned about electricity. We made a circuit, powered by a battery and saw how electrons travel round a circuit.
Then we made a magnetic field which pushed the electrons around the circuit. 
Then it was our turn to test out different coils and magnets. We measured how much electricity we generated using an ammeter.
We used our knowledge to charge up our Hexbugs for the race of the century.
It was consolidation week this week… we used magnetic letters to spelling our words with the ng, ph and wh.
Today we were learning about the circulatory system and the function of the heart. We made our own pumping heart to investigate the flow of blood.
We had a very exciting visit from Ayrshire College who turned our classroom into the scene of a crime: The Case of the Missing Sweets. Mrs Mackay, Mrs Connell and Mrs Connelly were suspects!
We analysed saliva samples, a ransom note and checked the patterns of our fingerprints. We discovered that Mrs Mackay was the culprit but we did get a sweet treat for our hard work solving the crime.
Following our fantastic visit to the Science Centre yesterday, we decided to have our own version in school.
We got to take part in lots of activities making straw oboes, colour mixing and seeing how long we could make a ping pong ball float.
