Our Science topic is Electricity. We are investigating circuits – complete circuits and incomplete circuits. We have enjoyed ‘tinkering’ with batteries, bulbs, crocodile clips, motors and wires.

We are learning to create electrical circuit diagrams. We love drawing in our class. At first, we wanted to display our circuits like this –

Compare this with Lilly’s diagram of the same electrical circuit –

We are now going to use the scientific skill of making a prediction. We will predict whether a circuit is complete – the bulb will light. We will predict whether the circuit is incomplete – the bulb will not light.

Our context for learning this term is ‘The Vikings’. We have thought carefully about what we already know about the topic and what we would like to find out. We will review these mind maps over the course of our topic.

What we already KNOW – 30.1.20

What we WANT to find out – 30.1.20

Our previous context for learning was The River Clyde. Here are some photos from our trip to The Tall Ship and The Riverside Museum. Thank you to Adam’s Mum and Sam’s Mum for coming along with us!

In Numeracy and Mathematics, the Lamborghini group is working on Data and Analysis. The boys and girls used Microsoft Forms to publish surveys with a range of closed, open and multiple choice questions (ask us what these terms mean!). The surveys were completed by the rest of the class and we look forward to analysing and presenting our results next week.

Our P.E. days this term are Tuesday and Friday. On a Tuesday, we work with Mr Higgins in the Games Hall. On a Friday, we have a double block in ‘The Street’. We aim to get outside each day to complete The Daily Mile – weather permitting!
