P2a Minibeast Safari at Kelvingrove Park

Yesterday P2a visited Kelvingrove park to go on a mini-beast safari. Thank you very much to our leader Lucy Cunningham from the RSPB  for a wonderful time!

First we did some ‘Worm Charming’ which involved stamping our feet on the grass to encourage the worms to come to the surface. We learned that the worms think that it is raining and come up to the surface to stay moist. We even got to hold some !

Next we searched for different types of mini-beasts in their habitats.

We used a magnifying glass to take a closer look at the mini-beasts and set them free back into their homes.

Lastly, we did some ‘Pond Dipping’ and we learned that some mini-beasts like to live in the water too. We took a closer look with our magnifying glass again.

Internet Safety

Both Primary 7 classes benefitted from a talk from PC Sarah Cathcart. Sarah talked to the pupils about the age limits of each app and how to keep themselves safe. P7 were learning about what could be deemed as criminal behaviour and how to report anything that makes them feel alarmed or hurt.

Filtration systems STEM in P7b

Thank you to Jennifer Hughes, a STEM ambassador, who came in today to do a lesson on filtration. Some groups were very successful and managed to filter three different Lego sizes. Problem solving to the max!

P3a multiplication fun in the sun!

   

Yesterday in P3a we made the most of the gorgeous weather and went outside to do some multiplication revision. We wrote out the 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 multiplication tables in chalk and then turned them into rockets.

Some of the children started to challenge themselves and used the strategies they had learnt to work out the answers to the 9 times table!
