Hi everyone, it was lovely to see some of the Primary 3s on Zoom this week.  It really made my day.  I hope all of you are well.

To continue our focus on STEM week today’s task is about engineering.  You will need a few things and ask an adult to help you.

• bubble fluid or washing up liquid
• glue or sticky tape
• cotton buds
• a bowl
• a straw

Instructions –

• Use the glue stick or sticky tape to create a cube out of the cotton buds.  If you’re using a glue stick, give it time to dry.
  • Fill your bowl with bubble fluid or washing up liquid (with water) and dip your cube into the mixture.
  • Remove your cube from the liquid and with a straw gently blow into the centre.
  • With a bit of practice, your final result should be a square bubble!

This video shows you how to carry this out and might be helpful for you to watch first.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V7uEaxWh20

Since that might take you a bit of time for Literacy I would like you to read a book of you choice with an adult and practise your spelling words and handwriting by writing your words out twice in capital letters.

For Maths today there are tasks set on Sumdog.

Have fun and good luck with the bubbles!  Remember to post pictures or videos on our School Twitter page and watch out for Miss Clark’s challenges.
