P6 Open Morning

Primary six pupils were delighted to welcome parents and grandparents into our classroom on Friday morning.  Pupils have been learning about the scientific understanding of the Earth’s evolution.  As part of this topic we looked at natural disasters including volcanic eruptions.  Pupils carried out a practical investigation to find out which elements would react together to re-create a volcanic eruption.  We mixed bicarbonate of soda with vinegar (and a little red chalk to represent the colour of lava).

Towering Technology in p6/7

As part of our topic on natural disasters p6/7 have been learning about earthquakes.  We looked at some of the different ways in which buildings can be designed to sustain an earthquake with minimum damage.  We then used this knowledge to create our own ‘earthquake proof’ towers using spaghetti and marshmallows.  File 16-02-2016, 15 29 30 File 16-02-2016, 15 29 59 File 16-02-2016, 15 30 46 File 16-02-2016, 15 31 22 File 16-02-2016, 15 32 15
