Making clay pots
For our topic of Diwali, the children made little clay pots!
Minibeast Hunting
This term P1/2 have been doing different minibeast hunts.
This has included looking for different minibeast habitats  in the park and up in the forest where we have been looking under stones, in grass, in trees etc.
The children have also been putting the minibeasts into groups including arachnids, insects, gastropods and athropods.
Finally when hunting for minibeasts the children have been learning their French name too.
P1/2 Visit Dundee Science Centre
On Monday 29th. May, P1/2 visited Dundee Science Centre.
On the way the children learned about the Tay Bridge Disaster and the 3 j’s that Dundee is famous for- jam, jute and journalism.
Once inside they were allowed to explore the different areas. This included a section of a huge head, which they could then slide down!
The children then watched a show all about minibeasts! Here they saw large minibeasts including cockroaches, spiders, snails and millipedes.
After lunch they put on lab coats and carried out a number of experiments related to our senses and  how liquids react with each other.
Next it was back to exploring the Centre. One of the most popular exhibits was the sand pit, where the children made large hills and on these hills an ordnance survey map was projected onto it!
A big thank you to Hazel and Ben who came along and were great helpers!
