Growing season!

 

P6.2 have been planting ready for summer. They have been planting tomato seeds in the hope that they will grow and produce more tomatoes! We also created an experiment to see the effect of fertiliser on plants.

Tune in for more updates on the plants!

Scribble bots.

P6 are using their engineering and electrical skills to create their own robot. This robot uses chemical energy from a battery turned into electrical energy and then into movement to make the robot move. It then scribbles using the attached pens onto the paper.

 

Bridge the Gap!

P6 are taking part in a K’nex challenge. They have to build a bridge that satisfies the following criteria. It must:

be a stable structure.

span a 50cm gap.

hold a weight of at least a textbook.

The best team players will go on to represent Cross Arthurlie at the Barrhead High cluster competition. The winner of that competition will go onto a Glasgow wide and then a nation wide competition.

 

Partner Balance

Primary 6/2 had their first session of gymnastics today. They worked in pairs to create fantastic partner balances. They supported and encouraged each other while communicating clearly to each other.

Volcanoes!

As part of our natural disasters and Earth materials topic, the children have been discussing how the Earth is made up and how minerals are formed. We made some volcanoes to explode next week. This also links back to our chemical reactions topic, but we will see that in next week.

 

 

Sustainable homes.

P6 have been learning about sustainable homes by thinking about how to conserve energy. We have created homes with insulation materials, energy producing windmills and solar panels, vegetable gardens and the latest technology to reduce energy wastage where we live.
