Our Local Area Study<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Library Visit<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Last week we spent Thursday afternoon exploring our local area.\u00a0 We walked to Giffnock library and explored it as an interesting place in our community.<\/p>\n

It was a beautiful afternoon and everyone really enjoyed themselves. We learned about different ways we could use our local library.\u00a0 We then chose a book each and took it back to school to read.<\/p>\n

“I liked seeing the old newspapers, in the library, because they were from a long time ago.\u00a0 This was cool! I liked being able to chose my own book.”\u00a0 –\u00a0 Will<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“I liked seeing all the books in their order. I also liked seeing the big machine and what it was used for.\u00a0 I liked having some quiet time to look at all the different types of books.”\u00a0 \u00a0– Holly\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Traffic Survey<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Last week, we spent some time observing the traffic outside our school.\u00a0 We made some predictions about the types of traffic there would be.\u00a0 We then made a survey grid with the different types of transport.\u00a0 Using tally marks, we recorded how many cars, buses, bicycles, vans and lorries we saw.<\/p>\n

We were shocked to see a lot of cars and not one single bicycle.<\/p>\n

“We were trying to see how many vehicles we could spot.\u00a0 We saw lots of cars and a couple of buses.\u00a0 We didn’t see any bicycles.\u00a0 I thought this activity was lots of fun because we had to use our maths skills too and I quite like maths.”\u00a0 \u00a0– Cara<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“We spotted cars, vans, buses and lorries.\u00a0 We didn’t see any bikes or even people walking.\u00a0 I liked spotting all the cars moving.\u00a0 I liked doing this activity outside because it was different and fun.”\u00a0 \u00a0– Conor<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Science – Germs & Diseases<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We started a new topic in science.\u00a0 Last week, we did some brainstorming about what common diseases are.\u00a0 We did some pictures of what kinds of diseases we know about.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are going to be finding out about\u00a0the symptoms of some common diseases caused by germs. We will discuss how their are spread and we will explore some\u00a0methods of preventing and treating them.<\/p>\n

“We were doing pictures about some diseases and their effects on humans.\u00a0 We knew about the flu, the cold and chicken pox.\u00a0 I liked drawing the wee person in the middle and writing some of the diseases we knew.”\u00a0 –\u00a0 Cameron\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“We were writing the diseases that we have had and talking about how germs caused them.\u00a0 I liked colouring the poster to make it look nice and then drawing the germs.”\u00a0 \u00a0– Leo<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
