Vibration Ball
Today my group was learning about vibration and we made a video about sound and vibration. We used tuning forks to get vibration and then place the tuning fork on the side of the ping pong ball and see what it did. Made by Islay, Emma & Logan
Science Movie Sound in Water
In class we have been learning about sound and we have been doing science experiments. We have been trying to find out how fast sound can travel. We have learned that sound can travel in water but it is better in the air out of water.

Christmas drawing
This is my elf on the shelf that I drew.
Frosty Photos and Poems
In sub zero temperatures (-7 according to my car) the Biggies went out to the playground to take some photos.
Back indoors they wrote lune poems and added them to the images. (A Lune is a poem with 3 words in the first line, five in the second and three in the third).
Sunset At My House
A Competitive Competition
A couple of weeks ago the whole class did a competition to design the plot (garden) in Banton owned by the school.
I realy wanted to win so I tried my hardest. I was given a sheet of paper to draw my design on. I drew a picture of little flowers round the out side and two big bunches of yellow flowers 🌺 further up. It had two little pieces of wood up the middle in between there was chips of bark.
About a week later I found out that I had won with Fergie’s colours I was delighted. That day Alexander, Zara, Fergie, Ellie and I went down with Mrs Cheape to the plot (garden) to use my design for it. We used the flowers that the school had got for us. Once we had finished laying it out we it looked great.
Im am very happy and proud of myself and I enjoyed designing the garden it was fun.
PLAYGROUND GAMES FROM 1960S
On Tuesday the whole school went out to celebrate Banton’s 50th anniversary we did it by getting the toys they used back in the olden days.
We were outside doing this because there is not enough room inside we used conkers, skipping ropes, Chinese ropes and marbles.
Chinese ropes are made out of a chain of rubber bands. You need at least three people. Two people facing each other one doing a dance. I can give you a little song for it Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales inside outside monkeys tales.
Marbles you draw a circle in the middle and you shoot to the marble in the middle there will be a marble that you can hit if you get it out its now you marble.
Conkers you can get them from a chestnut tree and the good thing is THEY ARE FREE.
After lunch we had A 50th BIRTHDAY CAKE but the bad thing was that we got it the next day but it was good the cake everyone got a bit and that was our lovely day.
Too busy to Blog
We had a really busy week with the 50th Birthday celebrations and halloween. Hopefully we will get the blog updated a bit next week, until then you can see the art work the p5-6-7 produced for the Kilsyth Co-Op halloween art competition.
