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.
CSI
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.
Our in school science centre 🧫🔬
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.

Super Spelling
Happy spellers this Monday morning.
We used Elkonin boxes and made word searches with our spelling words. Wonder if you can find our words too?
Week at a glance
What a busy week we’ve had. Here we are enjoying our electricity topic in science. We designed and tested circuits, making sure they had all the components to work.
In maths, we used play-doh to help us with division.
In literacy, we explored Scots language and completed a crossword in Scots.
Wellbeing Walk 🌲
Here we are on our first wellbeing walk of the year. There were a few huffs and puffs at the top of the hill…
Spelling
Today we tried something different. We muddled up the letters in our spelling words to see if our partner could unscramble and spell them correctly.
Multiplication
We have been working on our multiplication strategies. We have made arrays and equal groups.
