On Monday the 14th<\/sup> of May the whole school went for a walk to learn about Biodiversity in our local area.\u00a0 We used hoops to look at the samples with magnifying glasses and we compared this with other areas. When we got back to school, we used ID keys and magnifying glasses to identify what we collected.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

In the afternoon, we were learning about DNA, genetics and inheritance. We worked in pairs and were given male and female inheritance strips.\u00a0 The strips had codes on them; we followed the instructions to make our own Reebops.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning we created a digital story on Glow about Braw the Loch Ness monster. We all helped to write the story and each had our own parts to write.\u00a0 We could see who was editing which part on the Smartboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

After break we were designing pulleys for a zip wire. We had to make a device that would safely carry a basket for 2 metres.\u00a0 Our designs were judged on how far they could travel and whether the journey was smooth or bumpy.\u00a0 Rosanna\u2019s design travelled the furthest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Wednesday we were learning about\u00a0sound.\u00a0 We were using tuning forks and a cup of water to demonstrate sound waves.\u00a0 Then we created our own instruments.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the afternoon we made our own microbes,\u00a0 We classified some\u00a0 microbes and then created our own microbes using polystyrene balls and pompoms. We had a\u00a0most unique microbe competition and we had to explain whether\u00a0the microbes\u00a0were helpful\u00a0or harmful.\u00a0We gave them a name and had to tell everyone how our microbe would be spread and what would happen if you came into contact with it.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

In the morning on Thursday we had a pneumatics workshop. we worked in groups to design models using syringes and balloons to make moving parts. Sandy, Donnie, Christopher and Enoch\u00a0made a crocodile with a\u00a0snappy mouth!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We were learning about coding in the afternoon.\u00a0 We were working through scratch and micro-bit modules if we completed all six in a module we\u00a0could get a\u00a0coding club certificate.<\/p>\n

This week is National Digital Learning Week across Scotland.\u00a0 We have been making the most of the technology in our school all week.<\/p>\n
