P6.22 were visited by the Principal Teacher of Science from Eastwood High School. They conducted an experiment where they passed a beam of white light through a glass prism. The light got split into all the colours that make up the light. This pattern of colours is called a spectrum.

P6.22 also looked at how shadows are formed and how the eye can see in colour. They were given an opportunity to ask questions throughout the lesson.

On Friday we had a big breakfast in our classroom.

The reason we had this big breakfast is because we are raising money for the STV appeal to help children in poverty.

Our breakfast included a wide selection of fruit, a choice of cereal and milk, and rolls filled with potato scones. Thank you so much to the community partners who donated food to us.

From the STV Big Breakfast Appeal website, we have been learning about poverty in Scotland and we found out that 220,000 people live in poverty and often have to choose between heating their homes or eating. The appeal has been in existence since 2011 and have helped to raise £19 million for children all over Scotland.
