As you will be aware our Power Off and Learn Outdoors (P.O.L.O) Days are running on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
Primary 4 – 7 should come to school tomorrow ( Tuesday) dressed for all the fun in their outdoor clothes appropriate for the weather, no school uniform please.
This week has been very busy in Primary 4/5. Read some of our comments to see what we have been up to.
“I enjoyed starting our new reading book – Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. My favourite part so far has been learning about the characters.” – Ross
“This week I enjoyed making fractions with pancakes in Maths. I enjoyed this because we got to eat them at the end and they were very tasty!” – Kieran
“This week I enjoyed playing with the different magnets and finding out which metals are magnetic. We tested different magnets to see which one was the strongest. The strongest one was the wand magnet.” – Darby
“Next week I am looking forward to creating a fraction pizza using halves, quarters and thirds.” – Anthony
“I was so happy when Iona returned to school yesterday. It was great to see her so happy to be back in class!” – Nicole
Welcome back Iona, it’s great to have you again! 😀
We used adjectives to write some acrostic poems about volcanoes. We had great fun thinking of different words to describe sights, sounds and feelings associated with volcanoes. Have a look at some of our poems below. We hope you enjoy reading them 😀
Today we mixed vinegar, washing up liquid, water and red food colouring. We then added this to some bicarbonate of soda inside our volcanoes and there was a big eruption when all the chemicals mixed.
“The eruption was the best and coolest thing in the world!” – Iona
“I thought it was very cool!” – Kayleigh
“I mixed the bicarbonate of soda into the mix and it made the volcano overload with foam.” – Kieran
Have a look at our erupting volcano videos! 😀 (Videos will only play on a computer)
We have had lots of fun researching information about volcanoes. We mixed different colours to paint volcanic eruption pictures.
This week we will begin our Technology project, where we are designing and creating our own volcanoes. We can’t wait to get started! Check back soon to see how we are getting on.
On Friday we visited the Nature Garden to find the age of some trees. We found out that to find the age of a tree that has been chopped down, you can count the annual rings. If the tree hasn’t been cut down, you measure the circumference of the tree in centimetres then divide it by 2.5. You divide by 2.5 as this is the average size, in centimetres, of a tree’s annual ring.
Try finding the age of some trees next time you are at the park!
