In the forest

January 29, 2017 User deactivated Leave a comment

This week in the forest we played French games, we made 2D shapes and we worked in pairs to make little rafts. We went back to class and tested if they would float. Hopefully in our next session in the forest, we will learn from our mistakes and build a better one!

Floating and Sinking

January 21, 2017 User deactivated Leave a comment

In Science this week, we learned what causes objects to float.

In groups we had to guess if an object would float or sink. We then had to test if we were correct.

We found out some materials floated more than others.

P1/2/3 Get Together – Space

June 29, 2016 User deactivated Leave a comment

P1/2/3 told everyone about their learning this term on Space.

This included facts about the Moon, Sun and Planets. They demonstrated a mnemonic to help you learn the order of the Planets from the Sun and read out one of their own mnemonics.

The children demonstrated Orbits and how Day and Night works. They showed their artwork and talked about Tim Peake and life on the ISS.

Thank you to all the parents who came along to our Get Together.

P1/2/3 split into three’s. One child had to be the Earth, one had to be the Moon and another had to be the Sun.

They then had to show how they orbit around each other.

Ben Shows His Microscope

January 15, 2016 User deactivated Leave a comment

Ben (an ex pupil of Braco Primary School) came to our class and showed us his digital microscope.

We used it to check if our hands were clean. OH OH! Some were surprised that they were not as clean as they thought.

We used it to look at our hair, in our ears, nose and mouths!

We also looked at some materials close up like Mrs Baxter’s ring and Ben’s football shirt. Thanks for coming along Ben to demonstrate this.

Materials

The children worked together in co-operative groups to sort out the materials of toys.

They had to choose which toys were made of fabric, metal, plastic and wood.

They took turns at different tables.

Making Electrical Circuits and Lighting up our Lighthouses

January 4, 2016 User deactivated Leave a comment

P1/2/3 made simple electrical loop circuits with wires, a battery and a light. They also added a buzzer and a switch in some of their circuits too.

After experimenting with these, they used their electrical circuit to light up their lighthouses which they had made previously. They all looked lovely, especially with the main lights off.

P1/2/3 had their first day in the forest this year!

We were joined by Mrs Taylor who had arranged the session.

The children looked for signs of autumn and collected different leaves.

They listened to a story about an owl and a hedgehog. They then had to make a little den for their little woodland animal.
