Science Investigations in Room 5

Room 5 carried out a science investigation into what might affect the size of a crater when a meteorite hits a planet.  They investigated a number of variables including the size, shape and weight of the meteorite and the surface landing.  They presented their results to the class and found that:

– the heavier the meteorite, the bigger the crater produced

– the bigger the meteorite, the bigger the crater produced.

– the flattest shapes made the biggest craters and

– the softer the landing surface, the bigger the crater.

They are looking forward to carrying out their next investigation!

Road Safety Community Action!

Today in response to Chloe’s letter sent to our local MP’s a site visit was arranged to discuss the road leading to Strathclyde Park. Pupils in Room 12 felt the road was dangerous due to a lack of pavement after the cemetery, during their recent visit to the park and wanted to do something to help.

 

Miss Law, Chloe, Gemma, Jack and Evan met with local councillors, Marina Lyle & Harry Curran and also Matt Costello – Local Regeneration Manager from North Lanarkshire Council to see what could be done about the situation.

Hopefully there will be news about extending the existing pavement soon.

Lots of Learning with Room 6!

Room 6 have been learning all about the 1970’s and 1980’s.

We learned that some of the toys we play with today have been around since the 1970’s

We walked around the school and found that we can collect information in lots of different ways.  We did this ay home too as part of our homework.

We also had a food tasting of different foods from the 1970’s.  We tried quiche and Angel Delight. We liked Angel Delight the best.

 

We have been playing Maths games using dice to help us with addition and subtraction.

Sustrans Hands Up Survey Results

Between 7th – 11th September, our Junior Road Safety Officers carried out the Sustrans Hands Up Survey by visiting all classes in the school.

As you can see from the chart below lots of the boys & girls at Lawmuir are travelling to school in a healthy way.

The most popular method of transport by a long way is by walking to school. Well Done everyone! Keep it up!
