Primary 2 had lots of  Fun During Science  Week   –                                         Here are some more of there captured moments.

Science Literacy and Maths                                                                                            Making and Melting Frozen Fossils

P2 learned about Making and Defrosting/Melting their Frozen Fossils in school with Mrs Stevenson.  as they approach Science Week.                                                                                                                                  Also we would all like to thank  our busy parents carers and friends who helped the children to prepare part of their experiment at home, enabling them to  bring them into school to use to test out a variety of defrosting/ melting techniques.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Later in the week as part of their ‘Genre Writing’, the children were able to write a ‘Set of Instructions’ (including Resources) on, How to Make Frozen Fossils. This enabled them to demonstrate their understanding and show how successful they had been in their learning, not only in this aspect of Science, but also in showing their understanding of how to write a Set of Instructions.  Great Work P2
