All the boys and girls that completed there Science Project were given time this morning to share with the class. We practised our talking skills when speaking infront of others and our listening skills when we had to listen to other people. Everybody did a fantastic job and showcased some wonderful ideas, well done. All will be available to see at our showcase next Friday!

On Thursday we had a visit from Think Science. He taught us lot’s of exciting things and encouraged us to always think about the science behind things.

Alfie- He said that hot air goes up, it rises, but cold air doesn’t. So the bag went up to the roof when it had hot air but stayed on the ground when it only had cold air.

Tom- Me and Grace had a tug of war but no one won. The man sucked all of the air out and they stuck together because there was no air. Even the teachers couldn’t pull it apart.

Jason- We caught sticky bubbles. If you were gentle you could catch one on each finger, i did it, i got ten, one on each finger.

Mya- I liked catching the bubbles. when you popped it you could see a sticky circle.

The Spheres group have been learning all about data analysis. They created their own questions and collected data to put in to their charts using excel spreadsheets.

Yesterday Primary 3 sang a wee Scottish song and today we managed to squeeze in a some ‘Katie Morag’ and a wee piece of Shortbread…mmmm!

After seeing the success from the Primary 7 Enterprise Leo decided to teach us all how to make our own stress balls.

Leo- I liked learning how to do this and I enjoyed teaching everyone else. It was fun.

Alice- I’m a little bit nervous but excited too.

Mya- I’m excited about being at the high school on the big stage.

Today we joined up with our friends in the Primary 3/2 class and learned a dance called the Gay Gordens. It was quite tricky but lots of fun.

Our new topic this term is Knights and Castles. We have loved building and exploring the different parts and functions of a castle and we can’t wait to build our own next week.

Our Spheres have been very busy learning about division. We were using concrete material to share equally between 2.
