On Thursday morning Primary 6/7 went into the science room and did a couple of experiments. We got into groups of 5 and 6, then we started!

The first experiment, you had to get salt and water and you had to pour the salt into the water to see if it would dissolve, it did dissolve but the water was a bit misty. We did the same to sugar and water and flour and water. The sugar did dissolve in the water and the flour didn’t dissolve in the water it left lumps of flour floating at the top.

Here are some photos.

This week on Tuesday we learned about microorganisms. We had to work in pairs, and search up a microorganism to draw and write about. The most popular ones were the chicken pox and shingles. YUCK!

On Wednesday we did our kidnapped project.  We had to go outside and do a car survey of the car colours on the school ground. The most popular car colour was red and the least was yellow.

On Friday it was very Frosty and beautiful when we were doing our daily walk. It was very cold.

When we were doing the walk Isla and Alisha found a leaf and it was a very frosty and icy leaf. There is a photo of it above this piece of writing!

On Wednesday P5,6,7 went to an art exhibition at the mareel. We watched a film about people’s collections and what they collect. Whalsay and Aith primary school drew what we collected and that is now at the café bar at the mareel. After we finished at the mareel we went to the sixteen exhibition and they put posters up about peoples lives at sixteen. When looking at the sixteen exhibition we went to have lunch at islesburgh.

When we finished having our lunch, we went to Ocean Kinetics and looked at what everybody’s jobs were. Most of us liked the plasma cutter. The plasma cutter is when they cut the metal into anything. You had to wear special goggles or it would hurt your eyes.

When we finished up at Ocean Kinetics we went to the playpark then we went back to school.
