Science – Soluble and Insoluble

Today we made some scientific discoveries. 

We investigated soluble and insoluble substances.  We found that some substances(solute) dissolve in water(solvent)  and some substances don’t!

We also found that some substances dissolve better when the water is heated.  We had to be very carefully using the spirit burner and when working with the different chemical substances.

Finally, we have set up an experiment to grow crystals and recover a dissolved substance.  Each house is growing a different colour…..we are wondering which crystals will be the biggest??

 

Beach Clean-up

Thank you and well done to all the volunteers who helped clean up Dunure Beach on Saturday 1st April 2017.  The Beach Clean-Up is an annual event organised by the Ayrshire Rotary Clubs.  This is the second year Fisherton Primary pupils have supported this good cause.  565 bags were collected along the Ayrshire Coastal Path, from Troon to Girvan.   Almost 3,000 plastic bottles were found along the way and the Rotary Clubs have been making us aware of the problems plastic bottles are causing in our waters.

Please remember to always dispose of litter properly. Thank you, Fisherton ECO Committee

Head Teacher Hello

 

 

 

I am delighted to take up the post of Acting Head Teacher here at Fisherton Primary. This week, I have really enjoyed re-acquainting myself with pupils and staff, who I worked with last time I was at the school, and getting to know our newer pupils. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible tomorrow at our Easter Assembly and hope you have a lovely Easter, when it comes.

Newmilns Trip

The pupils were very active this moring during their trip to Newmilns Snow and Sports Complex.

I really enjoyed the tubing because we managed to get into loads of different formations and groups to go down together.

I really enjoyed doing the tubing because we could go down with our friends or go down our self and get spun around really fast.

I didn’t like the skiing part because we were only on the nursery slope and couldn’t get much speed.

I liked the skiing because we got to try new things and had to do limbo but leaning forward.

The tubing was really fun and if you got spun you went faster.

When we were doing the skiing it was very hard to walk up the hill in the ski boots.  Going down was quicker than going up!

I enjoyed the skiing and doing the turns.  I’m surprised I didn’t fall.
