STEM

P5a have enjoyed exploring different ways to build structure, make a short video with a green screen, make origami paper creations or design and build their own marble run.      .                                                                                                  
Excellent opportunities to learn and work with your friends.

P5a

This week P5a have completed work on volume . We have successfully planted sunflower seeds and seedlings are now appearing. By next Tuesday there should be about 24 sunflower 🌻 plants to be planted into large containers in the school. The children are enjoying learning as much as possible outside about plants and biodiversity.

A great week for learning outdoors.

It was good to have our athletics lesson all about learning jumping techniques outside on Tuesday. We were able to be creative about the space we could use.

Everyone in P5 had a great day on Thursday at Blair Drummond Safari Park. The weather has been particularly kind to us this week. On Friday P5a continued to learn about growing plants and learning outdoors. We have now planted our sunflower seeds that Miss Davidson was able to source for us. Hopefully we will be able to study their growth in different conditions and see most of them develop into sunflowers 🌻 by August. I am looking forward to watch our seedlings grow.

Measure in P4b

P4b have been learning about measure this week. We enjoyed the sunshine whilst using the measuring app  on the iPads to find the length of different objects. We also used the trundle wheels to help us find the perimeter of parts of our playground.

 

Sustainability week

It’s been a busy 1st week back week in p6, where we have been consolidating our learning on sustainability. We were outside building a BUG HOTEL , which was great fun, we used lots of different materials to build it and learned new skills in the process. In class we have been designing our own SUSTAINABLE CITIES, we have shown great teamwork and cooperation and used all our prior knowledge of renewable energy sources as well as our learning on creating a more sustainable future. Finally, we went back outside to take part in a COMMUNITY CLEAN UP event. There was a lot more litter in the surrounding area than we expected, but we quickly got it all cleaned up!

JRSO update

On Tuesday 12th of March Ollie and Rosie traveled to the City Chambers to make a film about road safety around Wallacewell Primary. They had a great experience learning about the task of making a film and all the jobs associated with creating images for a film. The next task is to share their video with the school.

P7A stem challenge

This week P7A learned about our solar system and the planets. They also learned how to create scale models through their maths learning. Using this knowledge P7A pupils were able to create scale drawings of the planets and including their distance from the sun. The pupils managed to use their knowledge of division and measure to create accurate scale drawings. Very well done!

 

STEM Afternoon

Primary 2 had on their engineering heads at the STEM afternoon when they had to design and build their own freestanding Christmas tree. Lots of planning and team work when on in the classroom.
