The Journey of a river

Over the last fews weeks we’ve been learning about the journey of a river and applying this knowledge to our topic ‘ The Craigie to the Clyde’.

We’ve explored the upper, middle and lower parts of the river and the different features of each part. We’ve followed the journey of Aurs Burn, to Brockburn all the way to the River Clyde.

We have recognised how features of rivers such as waterfalls, gorges and meanders are formed.

Finally we recreated our own river journeys using makedo kits and cardboard. We applied our craft and mathematical knowledge to make freestanding 3d objects and just slopes and lines to control the flow of the water. We worked in teams to plan, cut and create some fabulous designs.

Maths Week Scotland

Great fun creating our own memory transporters as part of our Stem Challenge. In teams, they created different routes, some different levels and some with obstacles using a range of strategies. Many developed paper attachment strategies to make their route sturdy. It was great to see how different children demonstrated leadership skills, whilst others were creating and explaining their process.

Friday Fun!

During Friday Choice Time the boys and girls were rewarded for all their hard work this week with lots of fun choice activities.

I created a survey for the class on their favourite author. 17 people votes for Roald Dahl. I made a graph on google slides.


I was researching my endangered animal and making my google slides to present to the class – Farah-Rose

British Science Week

We had a fabulous morning celebrating British science week by first making a ballon rocket and learning lots about forces.

Then we had to build a way to get Rapunzel out of tower as her hair was cut off!
Every group had a different amazing idea! Chat to your parents about how you would save Rapunzel!


We also drew labelled diagrams to share our finding.
