Victorians

In class we have been learning about Victorians.  We learnt about the Victorian timeline, we went on a school trip to the  Scotland Steet museum we also did a presentation in group about different topics in Victorian times. I was in fashion. We drew Queen Victoria, Florence Nightingale,a chimney sweep, a maid and a factory worker.

When we went to the Scotland Street museum we wrote the Victorian alphabet out with a pen and an ink well  and learnt about Vctorian money. Ailis wore the dunce’s hat. The teacher was very scary and she whacked Emily’s table with the belt.

Our P6a Coke and Mentos Experiment

In P6a we have been busy we have been doing some experiments! The coke and mentos eruption, browning apples and  also…dancing raisins.

Each time we did the coke experiments we changed our variable.  It was very intriguing. After we had done the experiments we all went into groups. One was looking at different types of cokes, another one was the different types of mentos, there were two more  groups. In our groups we made bar charts and information boxes telling the person who was reading our poster about what we were doing.  We drew the graphs but also made them on computers using excel. This was very confusing because we have had to learn something new but it was great fun! We also wrote a report about it in our writing jotters and stuck in some charts in the results section.

The dancing raisins were hilarious because they just kept jumping up because when Alka Seltzer was added to water it produced gas which attached to the raisins and made them go up and down. We wrote a report in our writing jotters, but with less help this time. It was very enjoyable!

The Last Monster In Scotland Show

Our school show was The Last Monster In Scotland. It was about Nessie, of course, but there were evil scientists trying to destroy Nessie’s legend. There were guardians of Nessie’s legend, reporters struggling to get their news paper up and running, some annoying American tourists complaining about everything and the tale of McPhee and Agnes’ heartbrake. Two reporters saw Nessis and exposed a fake scientist trying to destroy the legend of the loch!

Making Soup And Pizza

In class we made soup and pizza.In the soup we cubed potatoes, cut onions, peeled carrots and then we chopped them too. We also put in stock pots and carefully cleaned lentils. Then we stirred it. For the pizza we had groups. We had flour and we made dough. We put it in a tray, covered it and left it for a while. My group put sweetcorn, mozzarella and some normal cheese on top. We put in the oven and waited. When it was done it looked so good and it was better than Dominoes. My group was proud of our pizza.

John Muir Outdoor Project

We researched John Muir in class, creating fact files. We then chose an aspect of the outdoors to focus on as part of our project homework. We made dens, grew flowers, studied insects and trees, made rafts to sail, made bird feeders and homes for hedgehogs. We then delivered really interesting solo talks telling the class about our investigations and creations.

Welcome to P6a’s Glow Blog

Today in ICT we have been learning about our new Glow Blog. We wrote a post about a recent topic covered in class. We attached categories to our posts. This way if you are looking for a specific post it should be easy to find it in one of the ‘Our Learning’ sections. Our posts were then submitted for review. All posts which are typed by the class are sent to the teacher before they appear online.

Mrs Horne told us that she will post photos from the year so far before the glow blog ‘goes live’ on the Kirkhill Primary website. We will then keep our blog up to date until the end of the year.

We hope you enjoy reading about our learning.
