| We have been observing and recording the sun and moon at various times and have been describing their patterns of movement and changes over time. We made a picture of the International Space Station. |
By exploring the forces exerted by magnets on other magnets and magnetic materials, I can contribute to the design of a game.

LI: To explore magnets and use them in a game.
We explored the forces of magnets by using different strengths and sizes of magnets in a variety of experiments.
We then designed a game that used magnets in pairs.
We had a visit from Hoots Owls and learned a lot about how to care for them. We learned about their anatomy and that Gillian their carer even needs to check their poo to ensure they are healthy.
We all got to hold an owl and they flew across the gym hall. They need lots of exercise every day.
Primary 2 have been learning all about Space. We learned some facts about each of the planets and tried to come up with different ways to remember the order of the planets. After that we learned that the Earth rotates and revolves around the Sun and this is why we have day and night. We took a visit to the Glasgow Science Centre and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Planetarium. During ICT we have been creating our own space PowerPoints and lots of us have been sharing our learning at home! In Art we learned all about Peter Thorpe’s abstract space art and we decided to create some of our own. In Literacy we researched Neil Armstrong and wrote a newspaper article about the moon landing.
We were creating space pictures. We looked at pictures of Peter Thorpe’s artwork and then we used pastels to create our own. Ben
We were learning about abstract art. We used bold colours like black and red together. We thought about hot and cold colours. This helped us to add more detail.
We got a space book to look for planet words. We put the words on cards and used them to spell the planet words. Archie
The Earth rotates and revolves around the Sun. It takes 365 days for the Earth to revolve around the Sun. Megan
It takes 24 hours for the Earth to rotate. If we are facing the Sun then we get light and it is day. If we are facing away from the Sun then it is night. Melody
We went outside and we had to find a partner and one of us had to be the Earth and the other person was the Sun. We had to rotate and revolve around the Sun. If Miss Watson shouted daytime we had to face our partner (the Sun) and if she shouted nighttime then we had to face the other way. Callen
 Sean and Rachel from Atkins told us a little about being engineers. |
 They challenged us to make a boat that floats using just straws, tape and tin foil! |

We learned that hot air rises. John from Think Science taught us about static electricity |
 John blew hot air into the bag with a hairdryer and we watched what happened next… |
 He made a hot air balloon |
 John even lay on a bed of nails |
