Mary, Ashley and Matthew mountain biking this afternoon.
Primary 7 are discovering their natural environment and starting their journey to achieve the John Muir award. It was a good day to start as today is Outdoor Classroom day, and the right of the month this month is Article 29 ‘the right to be educated about respecting our natural environment.’
Primary 7 learned about John Muir himself and his life, and wrote down what they would like to explore in their playground and at the residential next week.
‘I want to look at ants closely and their behaviours.’ – Matthew
‘How tall can trees grow?’ – Dylan
Everyone has many things they want to explore, which gives us a good starting point.
Primary 7 were very lucky to experience a science lesson delivered by Dr Gibson from Eastwood High School. She came to our class to teach us about genetics and inheritance. We looked at how genes are passed down from parents to children. Dr Gibson taught us about chromosomes and we created our own dragon with different characteristics.
♥”This was the best science lesson ever!”♥ – Max Wengel
Primary 7 have lots more exciting science lessons to look forward to in Eastwood High School!
Fidget Spinners are the latest craze!
P7 brought them into class to carry out a fidget spinner investigation. We each recorded our times of how long we can spin our spinners at a 45 degree angle and did this 5-10 times and then created individual graphs. Mia discovered she was getting better after each attempt! She managed to spin it for 32 seconds on her first attempt and on her 10th attempt she managed to do it for 67 seconds!
A very well done to the relay racers .
Girls team Ashley, Mia, Toni, Carly and sub Mary
Boys team Max, Chris, Gabriel, Alexander and sub Matthew.
The boys came 3rd and the girls came 1st. The girls got medals and a trophy. The rest of the school and the teachers are very proud of them. Go Team Uplawmoor!
