The SSPCA dropped off some little mechanical rabbits today for us to look at. We all learned how to hold them correctly, how to feed them and how to look after them properly.
We were doing some problem solving and used the strategy “acting out the situation”. We had to pretend to put our garden slabs in order, without any hanging over or without any gaps. It took a lot of concentration. ( We didn’t use real slabs, obviously! Mrs Arbuckle couldn’t carry them into school!)
We were very lucky to have Eilidh’s mum visit us today for part of our STEM FORTNIGHT. She is a doctor in a hospital and told us about all the people who are needed to work in a hospital. We got to use the stethoscope, look at X-rays, listen to a heart beat, look at microbes and lots more. We learned so much. Thank you Dr McEwan!
Dr Jamie Gallagher launched our STEM Fortnight today at Assembly . He works in Nano technology and does super cool things. He showed us how technology has changed over the years. He showed us his microscope and showed us insects in detail. He also had a drone and showed us how it works. It was amazing. Mr Tyler told us about all the brilliant things that are happening in the next two weeks, including our amazing STEM Showcase on Thursday, 21st March 6pm -7pm. Come along ! It’s free!!
Please remember to return your child’s completed consent form so they are able to join us on our trip to ASDA. We are all really looking forward to it 😁
Thank you,
Miss O’Neil
We kicked off STEM Fortnight with a real treat. We had a great time learned all about microscopy . We got to use the digital microscopes and look at things close up. It was amazing to see how things looked when we looked at them closely. The science lab technicians in P7 came along to talk about it and show us how to use the digital microscopes.
We performed our poem “ Ambition”at our Values Assembly today. We wrote the poem together at one of our writing lessons. Needless to say, we were amazing! 😁😁😁😁
We created our aliens using play dough. We read “ Aliens In Underpants Save The World” for World Book Day. We had great fun discussing our work and put in a lot of detail.
For World Book Day, we read “Aliens In Underpants Save The World.”. It is a brilliant book. We designed our own pants; made play dough aliens and designed our aliens. We had a brilliant day!
We were continuing to learn about directions in maths today and we used Hour of Code, which teaches us coding. We had to give BB-8 directions to pick up packages. We were very good at programming the blocks.
