Today P6 looked at the visible and non visible light spectrum. We split the spectrum using a prism and created white light with the 3 colours red, blue and green.

Children have been learning about reflection and refraction. They have learned that refraction is the bending of light as it moves into another medium like water. Reflection is when light bounces off an object. We utilised this to make periscopes! A link to our WW2 topic.

Primary 7 have been campaigning to become house captains throughout the school this week. They have been designing posters and preparing speeches. Good luck to everyone who is making a speech tomorrow!!

Look at our plants go! Our tomato plants have been growing well and the summer sun has helped. We were wondering if they were getting enough light?

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!

P6 have been making guitars, wiring the Microbits and coding them to make their own guitar. Art, science and ICT in one session!

Primary 6/2 had a great time today practising super skills on their bikes over ramps, see-saws and stairs! What incredible confidence and effort! Well done everyone!!

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.

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.

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.
