This week P 2b got involved with some art and science. In art we created poppies to commemorate Remembrance Sunday. Using paper plates and green card everyone made their own poppy. In science we learned what an electric circuit is and we had a go at making our own simple circuits using wires, batteries and lightbulbs. We also learned how a switch works within a circuit by creating a continuous path for the electricity to flow.
This week P2B have been exploring energy and character description through our interdisciplinary learning theme of super heroes. The pupils designed their own hero and wrote a description of their character. They also experimented with moving paper with static electricity and later in class discovered how we generate electricity from green energy sources. Next week we will be making simple circuits to create light

P2b had a fantastic first week back and have settled in well to our daily routines. As part of our learning this week we looked at the special rights children have and how we can use the creation of our class charter to ensure all pupils have access to their rights.

On Friday P7s used the creative enquiry room to demonstrate their learning on photosynthesis. They create models of a flower using crafts that showed the different parts of a flower. They also created a diagram showing and explaining the photosynthesis cycle. Finally the pupils set up an experiment that aims to show the effects of sunlight on plant growth and will monitor the results over the coming weeks. Hopefully by the end we will have a nice crop of coriander!
This week in the Creative Enquiry Room P7a and P7b took part in experiments that helped demonstrate the causes and impacts of different Natural Disasters. The focus of the experiments was Earthquakes, Tornados and Tsunamis. P7 were able to show the process of liquification that occurs during some Earthquakes. They were also able to describe what causes a Tornado to form and what causes Tsunamis and the impact they have on coastal areas around the world.
