Hillington Primary School

No outdoor lesson today as the rain wouldn’t go away.  So a STEM lesson on learning how to build a bridge. We had to show our engineering skills today.

This week P5a went outside to complete some timed events for numeracy using our iPad as a timer and stopwatch.

P5a created  funky 1980s inspired sunglasses with coloured inserts. We are all cool dudes!!!

P5a spent the afternoon learning about friction and forces. This culminated in us designing and creating a land boat that had to move by wind power.

P5a completed a winter science experiment that we started yesterday. We filled up a balloon with water and left it outside through the night to freeze. As water freezes (at 0 degrees and below) impurities come out as bubbles.

P5a entertained the P1s and 2s with their rendition of Jingle Bells.

Primary 5a spent the afternoon learning the science behind growing the Grinch’s heart. It was fun as well as educational 😸
