In Science, we have been looking at bacteria, viruses and fungi. Viruses can come from microorganisms. A clean mouth has 10,000 to 100,000 particles of bacteria on each tooth. Viruses are tiny compared to bacteria, there is an equivalent of 1000 viruses to 1 bacteria. There are 16 times more bacteria on a phone screen than on a toilet.

In P.E. we have been continuing to develop our fitness skills by completing a Joe Wicks workout. This week we were working on our legs with sumo squats, lunges, high knees and mountain climbers. We also gave our upper body a workout with push ups.

We have been using our ICT skills to create PowerPoints on the Great Pacific garbage patch. This is an artificial island made of plastic and is three times the size of France. The Ocean clear up team are trying to clear this garbage patch and ensure it is plastic free by 2050. It is estimated that this area carries 80000 tonnes of plastic!

In Literacy the Comics and Magazines have finally finished Underground to Canada. This text was a range of emotions it was sad throughout the book but thankfully a happy ending. We would recommend this book for P7/ S1 children who enjoy learning about historical events.
