Primary 2 were excited when the pallets to create their Bug Hotel finally arrived today.
They started filling each layer of the Bug Hotel with their mini pots and all the resources that people donated as well as the materials that they scavenged from the school grounds.
We still have alot of work to do to encourage creatures to come to our hotel. We can’t wait to finish it!
We were making mini bug hotels today with Paula from The Hidden Garden – Chloe W
It was great fun in the garden – Paul
We found a big worm and we put it in a magnifying tub – Cameron
We saw a snail on the ground. We could put it in the bug hotel – Daisy
We put grass and straws in a plantpot to make nooks and crannies for the bugs – Caleb
We used moss and straws and carboard to fill up the gaps in our bug hotels – David Y
We saw a Blue Tit and its home is in the bird house – Dylan G
P2 have completed their research about recycling and have written their final draft of a persuasive letter to family. Here is a display of all their hard work!
If you have a child in P2 and have received your letter, has it persuaded you to recycle correctly?
Attention parents of children in Primary 2! You will shortly be receiving a beautifully handwritten message from your child to advise you on how to use your various bins correctly. The children have been finding out about the benefits of recycling and the importance of doing it properly. Here they are hard at work on their notes to you!
Primary 5 have loved learning about our new topic- The Rainforest and Deforestation. We enjoyed looking at the 4 layers of the Rainforest- the emergent layer, the canopy, the understory and the forest floor.
We have been making the most of the sunshine in PE. We worked together to measure how far we could jump in long jump. There are definitely some aspiring Olympic Athletes in the class!
Today we were outside drawing volcanoes and we did an experiment to watch how a volcano erupts. These are the steps to make one erupt- a tablespoon of baking soda, 1/4 a cup of vinegar, 4-5 drops red food coloring and washing up liquid. Directions- 1. make sure the volcano is in a clear tray before performing the eruption. 2. Addthe baking soad to the lava tube 3. Mix the vinegar,food colouring and dish soap together thoroughly. 4. Add the liquid solution to the lava tube. 5. Stand back and watch the lava ERUPT. We started making our own volcanoes in class. We have covered a bottle with newspaper and made it look like a volcano. We are going to make our volcanoes erupt when they are finished and painted.

The boys and girls in Primary 2 got their brains thinking today by taking part in a challenge called “Name the Storm.”
The children found out that each storm is named after a boy, then a girl’s name and so on. The storm today is called “Storm Henry” so P2 created their own storm names for the next few letters in the alphabet.
What do you think the next storm will be called? It will begin with the letter ‘I’ and it has to be a girl’s name this time!

Well done to these two children who have worked hard at home to complete their topic homework tasks! P5 were very impressed with your artwork. Well done!
P5 have started a new topic about volcanoes . We have been researching different kinds of volcanoes and we wrote an introduction for our project. We watched a video about volcanoes erupting and it was very interesting. We then moved onto art to make our front covers for our volcano project. We made the front cover by drawing a volcano and then using watery paint and straws to blow the paint. This made it look like the volcano was erupting. We are excited to learn more about our new topic!
