Good afternoon, this week we were leaning volume. We calculated the volume using cubic centimetres. We checked using cubes and some of us used the formula V = l x b x h.

On Tuesday we did a litter pick around some of Sorn. We tidied up behind the village hall and then down towards the entrance to the village. We plan to continue this next week with the whole school. We took part in a live lesson and learned how to write a poem about the environment and how to look after it. Have a look at some of our poems.

It’s been quite a science week for us.

We have been learning about extinction and endangered animals. This week we started making food chains and then looked at how the ecosystems are related. Then we made a food web using string to show how everything interacts in an ecosystem.

Then on Friday, we took part in a science live lesson, investigating the effects of water pollution on marine life. We used an experiment to see the effects of increased pollution. Our predictions were accurate.

In Primary 4-7, we have been learning to estimate the weight of objects. We used scales to check how accurate our estimations were.

On Thursday, we celebrated World Book Day. In the morning, we took part in a Footy Booky quiz with lots us of scoring high in the two rounds. Then we took part in a BBC Live Lesson where we finished with thousands of schools all reading simultaneously for 60 seconds. During that time we read our own choice of fiction, non-fiction or comics.

Then we took part in Mrs Mackay’s great book hunt. We each had to read clues to help find the title of the next book. Glen Logan were the scavenger hunt champions and also received bonus points for the best teamwork.
