Transition Preparation
On Friday, our Primary 6 children began preparing for our new Primary 1 intake visiting the school this week as part of their Transition to St Michael’s School.
They are really excited about being Buddies next year and can’t wait to meet their Buddy at the second Transition Day in June.

Some of our Primary 6’s had the opportunity to go down to the Nursery today to meet some of the children who will be joining us next year as our new Primary 1.

Green Fingers
Primary 6 enjoyed looking after the plants this week while Primary 7 were in York. Our runner beans are looking great!
Super Scientists in Primary 6
We have been investigating the properties of water. We carried out an experiment to find out how long it took hot and cold water to freeze.
We have also been learning about the parts of a flower and today we dissected a flower to look more closely at the male and female parts of the flower to understand the flower’s life cycle.
The Water Cycle Investigations
Primary 6 have been learning all about the Water Cycle. Here are our experiments from today on investigating evaporation and the Water Cycle.
Fire Safety Talk
Primary 5-7 took part in a presentation from the local Fire Station on Fire Related Anti-Social Behaviour.

Super Scientists
Today Primary 6 turned into Scientists. They were learning about the Digestive System and their taste buds.
They carried out an experiment to find out what type of ‘taster’ they were by counting the fungiform papile on their tongues. Most children were ‘Tasters’ as the had between 6 -10 fungiform papile in the section that was counted.
