Hello and welcome to our blog.
This week as part of our Natural Disasters topic we have been learning about Volcanoes. We have found out lots about them. This included – where they occur, the parts of a volcano , different types of volcanoes and the difference between active, dormant and extinct volcanoes.
We then created our own volcano and loved seeing it erupt!
We had a great time and enjoyed the lovely weather too!

Welcome to your latest IDl Blog. We have now completed Learning Journey 3 – Scottish Foods. Our Learning from now until the Summer Break will focus on the RSPB Wild Challenge Bronze Award. We will achieve the award if we complete a series of challenges to support nature. With all of the children’s prior learning about Climate, Food Chains and Habitats, they are more than ready to rise to this challenge.
We kicked off this challenge by making bird feeders to mark World Earth Day. We used recycled cardboard to make hanging shapes, coated them in fat and then added bird seed. We then observed the grassy area in front of the school over time to see if the feeders attracted more birds to the area.
Our next challenge was to conduct a BioBlitz survey. It took real patience to sit and see what changed in our Bioblitz circles as we observed. It’s just as well we’ve been working so hard on our Focusing Meta Skill!
We are looking forward to moving on with our nature challenges – let’s hope the weather holds for us.
Welcome to our blog
IDL
Our new IDL topic is Natural Disasters. This week we learned about the ten most common natural disasters around the world and hurricanes.
“I liked learning about the hurricanes because I was able to label the different parts of it like the eye” (Jura)
“I like learning about hurricanes as we got to build a house using Kapla to see if it was strong” (Eva)
We designed a building that we thought would be hurricane safe. We also learned what to do if there was a hurricane.
We learned about hurricane seasons and in what countries they are likely to occur.
PE
We have been enjoying our term 3 PE so far. We are taking part in athletics and striking and fielding.
We are taking part in a variety of races and team games.
” I really like playing rounders and working in a team.” (Penelope)
“I loved the relay races so I can get faster at running” (Carson)
“We jumped over hurdles in a race. It was fun.” (Harry)
Have a great weekend
