We’re back….

Primary 1 have just finished their first week back after the October holiday.  Have a look at all their hard work.

STEM

The children applied their knowledge of their senses and repeat patterns to design and then make fruit kebabs….yummy!!

We finished learning our initial sounds this week but we had great fun learning about x and we made our own x-ray pictures.

Awesome Earthquakes

At the end of last term as part of our learning in STEM, P7 designed and built earthquake proof buildings and tested them! First we had to build them. we used cocktail sticks and marshmallows.

Here are some of our buildings.

Next we had to test them. We used a tray of jelly because it wobbled like an earthquake! We timed each of our buildings to see how long it stood for.

Almost all of our buildings survived the earthquake!! Although a few did collapse!

We really enjoyed learning all about earthquakes and how buildings are built to survive them. It was great fun making our own buildings and testing them!!

Primary 1 hard at work!

The boys and girls are so proud of their letter formation that they wanted everyone to see 👀.  They circled the letter that they were most proud of.

STEM

Today we looked at our sense of taste. The children had to sort pictures and stick the ‘taste’ pictures on their giant tongues. They are getting excited about making their fruit kebabs where they will be using their knowledge of senses and repeat pattern. Watch this space!

P3 STEM in Action

Primary 3 welcome you to their blog page.  We hope you enjoy our first post.  Please leave us a comment!

This term Primary 3 have been developing their science and STEM skills through a range of activities linked to our topic ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch.

The children weaved their own baskets and designed a pulley system just like in the story. have a look at our creations!

Mrs Ali posted a video of how we were able to design a pulley system to get the basket with yummy food across to Mr Grinling!

Look at how we learn….

Number Time

The children really are really engaging in the range of different learning opportunities happening in and out of the classroom.  This week we have been focusing on number ordering, formation and being able to sort objects into sets.  Here are some examples of the children hard at work.

Shape Hunt

We took advantage of the nicer afternoons this week and we went on a shape hunt.  The children were looking for examples of 2d shapes in their environment.

Shape detectives in action:
