This week P6/7 went to see the Gritter. It was a very fascinating experience. First when we saw the Gritter, one of the lady showed us the different types of gritt and salt that they put on the road, there was salt, grit, and also a mix between the two! Then we went to see the back of the Gritter. At the back of the Gritter there was a sensor that told the driver it was working. By Sadie, Shay and Shona

Shabti’s
These are some pictures of our shabtis. They are little slaves which are meant to travel to the afterlife with you and do all your work for you. We made it out of modelling clay by gradually adding water as we went along. It took them four days to dry. What would you do if you had a Shabti? eg homework chores

Junk Rockets
This week at school we have been making rockets out of junk as part of our space topic. Pupils have been bringing in junk to create the rockets for a week. We made a planner of how it would look and how we would create it. We looked at pictures of other space ships and got inspiration from them. At the end we will evaluate them. Some people used paper mache or masking tape to cover their bottles that the are using as the rocket. We think they will all look very good at the end. Written by Ewen and Iona.
S2 came to visit P1
Miss Fraser and secondary 2 came to our classroom this morning to show us how to make circuits, buzz buzzers, use switches and light up bulbs. We really enjoyed it.
Hector said “I liked the buzzing thing.”
Liena said “I liked when we made the red, green and blue lights.”
Bobby said “I liked the magic key one that made the fan turn fast.”
Reeta said “I liked lighting up Rudolf’s nose.”
