P4 have been finding out about electricity. We learned that electricity is a flow of electrons and we have been investigating how these electrons flow best. Last week we used some of our new knowledge to create a simple circuit to make our bulbs light up.

A huge thank you to Patrick for showing us some of the different species of fish found in the rivers in Peebles. We had a great time trying to identify them and learning the difference between a trout and a salmon.
