P2 INVESTIGATE OLD AND NEW TECHNOLOGY

As part of their Decades topic, the boys and girls had a discussion about the technology we use and looked at some photographs of older technology from the year 2000 onwards. They were able to compare the similarities and differences of these devices and sorted them into old and new.

The children thought it was funny when they found out that when rewinding a video tape, people had to wait a while for it to get back to the beginning!

P2 and The Millennium Bug

Primary 2 have began their topic of learning about the years 2000-2015.

Today in class, they discovered about The Millennium Bug!

This was when people thought that all the computers in the world would stop working or CRASH when the year changed to 2000 and they nicknamed it, “The Millennium Bug.”

We in Primary 2 know that it wasn’t a real bug like a spider or a beetle, but we imagined what we thought a Millennium Bug would look like and planned a drawing of it on our whiteboards!

Some of our creations had lots of arms to crash all the computers in the year 2000!

P4 Eco-Day Activity

Today we sorted and counted the litter that P2/3 had collected from playtime. We then created a graph and it showed us the types of litter that had been dropped and we could see how healthy or unhealthy we are being!

Screen Shot 2015-06-19 at 12.05.57We noticed that crisps and sugary snacks  were a popular snack choice and fruit was the least popular, when we think it should be the opposite.

However, we did think that our drinks are quite healthy as we drink a lot of milk and water.

We were shocked at how much litter was on the ground and we encourage other children to use the playground bins. Thank you!
