This afternoon, Mr Hamilton, from Machanhill Primary, visited P6/7 to lead the learning of a STEM activity. We were experimenting with air resistance. To do this, we were running with a closed umbrella and timing each other and then seeing the difference in time running with the umbrella open ☂️.
Today P7 were at the high school participating in PE activities including football, basketball, athletics, dancing, gymnastics and trampolining 🏀 ⚽ 🤸♀️ 💃🏻
Today, we were very lucky and got to work with Mrs Keith. She was helping us explore the skill of Problem Solving and Enquiry and tried to solve a maths problem. We spoke through all the important stages in PS. We communicated and worked well together.
P6/7, P6 and P7 all rotated round each class to participate in eco activities for a Eco Day. We were designing our pots and planting cress seeds, parsley seeds and garlic chives to hopefully cook with once grown 🧄
P6/7 participated in the Woodlands Fairtrade Eco Cooking Challenge. We used fairtrade ingredients to make chocolate brownies with our own little twist. They were delicious. 🍫
Today P6/7 carried out another experiment demonstrating friction using a bottle, rice and a pencil. It was like magic; we made bottles float.
In the afternoon, some pupils went to Machanhill Primary School to lead the learning to P7 of our friction experiment from yesterday. They done a fantastic job and should be super proud 🌟!
Today P6/7 were experimenting with friction and gravity using wooden blocks on different materials. There was great teamwork and pupils recorded their results and explained which came first/ last and why.
Last Friday, we had a visit from the NSPCC who were raising awareness about speaking out.
P6/7 have been continuing demonstrating their abilities using the equipment.
We all had a great time at Snowball Madness!
On Friday, we had a visit from the British Transport Police, explaining the importance of keeping ourselves safe near train tracks and the dangers.
