Stane Primary School and Nursery Class
– Kindness – Compassion – Courage – Community –
This afternoon we had a final assembly so that each class and the nursery could share their learning.
Each class has undertaken a range of different scientific investigations and from the feedback all of the children had great fun learning about different aspects of science.
Primary 5,6 have been looking at air resistance and, by making model parachutes, were able to determine the larger the surface area the more air resistance and the slower the parachute will drop. We had great fun testing them outside at the amphitheatre!
The children in Primary 5/6 and Primary 6/7 have been extremely busy learning about natural disasters. They have investigated different natural disasters, studied tsunamis in more depth, build a model tsunami and tested it! Currently we are investigating volcanoes – imagine the fun with this! As part of this learning the children have investigated chemical reactions, looking at different solutions and how they clean a coin.
Primary 1/2 has finished their Science work investigating Senses and are now enjoying learning about Forces. The children were introduced to the Force of Push and Pull and thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with a variety of toys to see which toys required a push force or a pull force to create movement.
Primary 1/2 and Primary 2 have been working together for Science and we have been learning all about Our Senses. Today we were focussing on sight. We learned about the different parts of the eye, from the eyebrow, eye lids and lashes to the pupil, iris and the sclera. We learned about the functions of these and even labelled a diagram. We also had the opportunity to wear visual impairment glasses and try to complete different tasks, such as an assault course and drawing a line through a maze. The last group played different games such as Eye Spy and ‘Where’s Wally?’
