On 25th September P5 spent the afternoon cleaning dirty water. We used gravel and sand to sieve water through. It looked a lot clearer, but not clean enough to drink!
Air pressure
On 18 th September we learnt about the effect of air pressure on our weather and how it makes air move.
Visit to Sound Hall and the Museum
On 13th September we had a visit to the Sound Gospel hall to do a bible study workshop. They were very kind and the children enjoyed a snack and juice there.
In the afternoon we visited the museum. They gave us a tour of the ‘heritage’ section and we learnt how to make butter. It was easier To do than we all thought it would be and it tasted delicious on the bannocks.
The Water Cycle
Today Mr Rose came in to teach us all about the Water Cycle.
Learning to Play Ultimate Frisbee
On Thursday afternoon, while the P6s were at Bikeability, the P5s had a great time learning how to play Ultimate frisbee. Finlay Watson, Captain of the Stirling University team and Kate Tyler taught our P5s how to do different throws and how to catch the frisbee. We then had a quick tournament in the multicourt.
French weather conversations
Primary 5s had fun learning French weather phrases and then using Sock Puppets, an app on the IPad, to record conversations.
Weather with Mr Rose
Mr Rose came into class again today to help us to learn about weather. We learnt about the water cycle and the states of matter – solids, liquids and gases – ice, water and water vapour.
Welcome Back
It was lovely to see the new Primary 5/6 class back, full of enthusiasm and fun for the new term.
Congratulations to our musicians
We are all very proud of the excellent achievements of Archie, Molly and Niamh who all took part in instrumental exams this week. They all gained distinction in their grade- which is a super achievement!
In Music today Molly and Niamh each performed their exam piece on the clarinet, for the rest of the class, which was a delight to hear. We’re hoping Archie will perform his exam piece on the cornet for us next week.
