Although Primary 7 were only in school for two days after the February holidays, we still managed to pack plenty in (surprise surprise!)
On Thursday, we went to Holyrood Secondary for the Science Road Show event, along with St. Brigid’s Primary School. We talked about light sources and colour, and our class had lots of prior knowledge on the subjects discussed because of the input we have had this term with Miss Brookes. Aiden from P6/7 asked two very good questions; “Sometimes people are colour blind, why?” and “How come dogs cannot tell the difference between colours as well as humans?”. The teacher explained that this is due to a difference in eye receptors.
We did an experiment where you had to draw a line with felt tip pen on a cotton pad, and hold it above a cup of still water. As time passed, the ink began to run into an array of different colours. It was pretty cool!
We did some baking in class in preparation for Friday’s coffee morning – raspberry and white choc traybake, coconut and carrot slices and a lemon drizzle loaf. Our classroom smelt heavenly ha!
On Friday morning, we hosted our coffee morning on the theme of ‘Migration’. Miss Cohen had invited parents and partnership agencies (Milk Café, Awaz FM, Mambo Film Production, Scottish Refugee Council etc) along to chat and share their experiences of Migration. The responses and discussion had were amazing – and really make you appreciate everyone’s journey and heritage. Ally, our filmer, will be coming back into school again soon, and showing us even more digital techniques. We made a timelapse – which looks really effective. Move over Pixar! Here are some pictures of our successful morning;
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
