Today we planted onions in pots that will be moved into the planters when the roots grow to give them the best start.
We conducted an experiment to create a chemical reaction that would erupt inside a bottle and look like a volcanic eruption.
Watch our videos to see some of our experiments in action. They will only play on a computer.
We used washing up liquid, water, bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and some red food colouring.
When those were combined all groups managed to get a reaction that caused our previously made volcanoes to “erupt”.
As you can hear, we thought the whole experience was AWESOME!!!!!
Primary 4 have taken on the responsibility of the school Nature Garden, along with Primary 5. So far we have been out in the garden and come up with ideas of what we would like to see there. We are very lucky to have such an area in our school and are able to use it to help with our learning. We met with a Countryside Ranger from Drumpellier Country Park and Pallacerigg Country Park to help us enhance what we already have. We know exactly what we want to achieve and Colin is the man to help us with this! ![helpwant[1]](https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/nl/public/whiteleesp4b/uploads/sites/24909/2015/05/helpwant1.gif)
The Dig In Day tomorrow will help us to get started on the plans we have made. We can’t wait to get started. If you can help in anyway we will be in the school grounds from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. We would really appreciate any help you can provide, and any time you could spend with us would be wonderful! Colin will be there with another Ranger and he will bring tools and resources we can use to cut back some trees, create clearer pathways, and clear the full garden to create specific areas. We will even be making bird boxes and unveiling the new name and sign of the garden. It’s an opportunity not to be missed!

If a tree is living and you want to find the age of it you can use an increment borer to tell it’s age. Kayleigh
I know the life cycle of a tree. Emma
Today we were talking about how seeds spread in wind and water or animals can carry them on their fur, then when they land a new tree will grow. Faith
If a tree is not living, you can tell how old it is by counting the rings inside the trunk. Taylor
