Primary 5 would like to say a big thank you to everyone who was able to make the open event on Friday morning. We had a great time sharing our IZAK9 resource with you and showing you how we work together in our teams to solve the problems. We were very impressed at your problem solving skills and your German and French skills! We are glad you can now see how we have fun in maths!

QUAKING TIME IN P7

February 26, 2016 Mrs Roebuck Leave a comment

Today in p7 we had a parent’s open day. Our task was to build an earthquake proof building using marshmallows, straws and toothpicks. In addition the criteria stated that our buildings should be at least 25cm tall and have two stories. Once we had finished our buildings we tested them out by putting them on a tray of jelly and shaking the tray. If the building did not collapse then we would have a second test by putting a weight on it if it didn’t collapse with a weight on it we would put another weight on! During our task we had a false earthquake alarm and we all got under the tables and pulled our chair in, all the parents began to laugh (which you really shouldn’t do if there is a real earthquake.) We had a good result, none of buildings fell down!!!! 2b68a5f0-8986-42d5-8937-3dcd13f4a429 7d282409-2cc6-406b-90b0-ac846e4e5476

Rainbow Research – Primary 4

February 25, 2016 M McDaid Leave a comment

As part of our weather topic, we have been researching how rainbows are formed and finding out other interesting facts. We also carried out an experiment to create our own rainbow in the classroom, by using a jar of water, a sheet of plain white paper and the power of the sun. During the Open Day on Friday, we are going to be making our own rainbow collages, using mixed media, such as crepe paper, tissue paper, foil, felt and other materials in all the different colours of the rainbow.

P2 LITTER PICK BAR GRAPH

February 25, 2016 Mrs Macgregor Leave a comment

P2 are learning all about bar graphs. We made a bar graph showing all the types of rubbish that we found when we did a litter pick. We brought the litter back to class and sorted it into different kinds of litter. Then we counted it using tally marks. We put the information into a bar graph and answered some questions about our graph.

“There were 63 sweet wrappers and that was the most” – Andrew A

“Fruit was the least popular” – Chloe M

“Crisps were the second most” – Cameron F

“Bottles and cartons altogether were 16” – David Y

We also think that people should make sure they put their litter in the bin!
