We are learning about the senses in Science and our focus this week is sight.

So, we took a quick 5 minutes to draw an eye and think about it’s shape, what it looks like and its function. Then we went outside to explore the school grounds writing and drawing things we could see.

We spotted some daffodils trying to pop through the grass, we saw some worms wiggling along and when we moved a log there were some insect eggs hiding under it.

We were so pleased to be able to take our learning outdoors after the stormy weather we had had the day before.

We also did an experiment with 2 pencils. We had to close one eye and try to get the ends of the pencil to meet together. This was really tricky. Then we tried the same experiment with both eyes open. This was much easier to do. Our findings show us that we see things much better when we use both of our eyes together. This also gives us better perception of what we are looking at.

We have lots more to learn about eyes in our topic.

The theme for World thinking day 2021 is peacebuilding. By standing together for peace we will stand strong, stand up and stand together for peace.  We have explored this theme in class today.

Primary 3 you look very smart in your various uniforms today. We are very impressed by all of the badges you have earned.
