For part of our science topic we made two posters. This linked with our literacy work and also our expressive arts work.
One was a food chain process . We researched information using the internet and made notes about the animals in our food chain. We used scientific vocabulary to create a food chain process.
We also used our design skills to create a food chain collage using a range of media.It was a really interesting topic and we learned a lot about animals and their habitats. It was really fun and they turned out amazing and everyone had fun.
Lewis – I liked the art part and I really enjoyed it.
Adrian – I liked the art when I made my Jungle food chain.
Connor-I liked the art food chain because it makes it look 3D and it was cool.
This week we went on our School Trip to Amazonia in Strathclyde Country Park. Building on our learning of how sound vibrations are carried we learned about different animals who live in the rainforest and how they communicate with each other. We even got to hold some of them!

“It was a really cool experience and we got to see animals we usually don’t get to see in this country.” – Lily
In Science we have been learning about electrical components and how they can be used to make a variety of electrial circuits. We started by looking at different symbols and what they represent. Then, after learning how energy travels around a circuit we used a range of electrical components to help make a variety of different circuits e.g. a torch, buzzer and an electric motor.
“I really enjoyed experimenting with the different components.” – Kenzie
“I had an amazing time doing this and it was so fun.” – Paige
On Wednesday afternoon we attended a ‘Generation Science’ event, where we continued our work on Sound, Vibrations and Waves that we have been doing in class. We got to take part in lots of great activities and experiments.
“I thought it was really fun, and the people made us laugh. I learnt about vibrations and how sound gets to the person” – Paige
At the beginning of the year we were learning about what plants need in order to grow and develop. As part of this we started to grow potatoes in our classroom and have been looking after them over the last three months.
Unfortunately, even though they were doing really well, they recently started to die. We think this may have been from overheating, as we had our planter right beside a large radiator. When we dug up our plants we did find some very small potatoes, but not many.
We have been developing our knowledge of the water cycle and how water changes state. To achieve this we took part in a variety of activities and experiments, leading to us researching, preparing, and delivering a presentation to both Primary 5 classes.
In looking at plants and what they need to grow and develop, we have started growing ‘Maris Piper’ potatoes in our classroom – they should be ready for Christmas!
