This afternoon we had a science afternoon! We visited the nursery to take part in some science experiments which we could also eat some of.  We made a rainbow by adding some water to some skittles which made the colours melt to create a rainbow.  We also created an image of an atom using marshmallows and chocolate.

After that we came back to our class and learned about changing the state of water from a solid to a liquid. Our challenge was to rescue the little people from the ice as fast as we could.  We used some different materials to try to help us but we learned that the quickest way to melt ice is by using heat and that our bodies have heat, so we used our hands to melt the ice quicker.

This week is STEM week.  Which stands for science, technology, engineering and maths.  The learning zone has been changed to enhance children’s learning in these areas.  Here are some pictures of our first time in the new areas today.

This afternoon Primary 1-3 walked to Ravenswood Primary to school to watch a magic show all about road safety!  It was so much fun and we learned how to be really safe when crossing the road.  Remember to always…

STOP!

LOOK!

LISTEN!

THINK!

Tomorrow afternoon we will be talking about and drawing our favourite part of the show! 😉
