On Monday we took part in a Science experiment to investigate what happens when oil is mixed with water 💦

‘making lava lamps was so much fun!’ Leah-Indie and Annabelle

P5 had an amazing time at the Cricket Festival, they showed great teamwork and resilience and had a successful day 👏 🏏

P5 have been working hard to practise their timetables by trying to improve their time on loop cards and answering some formal calculations 🧮 📚

This week P5a have been investigating changes of matter in STEM, we changed chocolate from a solid into a liquid by melting it  🍫

when the chocolate was melted we shaped it into little bunnies to make chocolate lollies 😋

Inspired by our class novel ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’ we decided we wanted to help real life refugees like Ahmet from the book 📕.

We have been campaigning for donations and with your kind help we have been able to make lots of welcome packs for to give to refuweegee charity to help refugee children arriving in Glasgow 🧡.

We got into groups and decided on the age and gender of the child we wanted to make packs for and then wrote letters to put in them, here are one pictures of our journey!
