This morning we had a fantastic coding session with DYW. There were lots of difficult instructions to follow but we made it. We made a game where the shark had to try to dodge plastic and catch fish.

This afternoon we found out about chemical reactions with acid and alkalines. We used coloured water, oil, bicarbonate and citric acid (see a similar recipe below). They looked great!

Today as a treat for working hard in maths this term, Ms Scanlan gave the class some more problem solving games. It was great fun, the P6/7 s are so good at giving everything a go and concentrating hard on finding solutions.

This afternoon the P7s went out to plant trees, while the P6s were at Bikeability. It was a beautiful afternoon, perfect for outdoor learning. To begin with Ms Scanlan showed the P7s how to plant a tree and then the P7s worked in pairs / groups to plant as many trees as they could. After Bikeability the P6s joined us and in total we planted 38 trees. Fantastic for helping the fight against climate change. Well done!

The P6s had another great Bikeability session today. They are getting really good at all the manoeuvres.

This morning we had a really exciting workshop with Emma Chittick. She taught us about renewable energy and then we had to make a LEGO wind turbine. At the end of the lesson we tested all the turbines to see which produced the most energy. Kathryn and Isla WON!!!

This afternoon while the P6s were doing Bikeability, the P7s did a fantastic job of cleaning out the pond. It had become really overgrown. Now there is lots of room again for the frogs and next year’s frogspawn 🐸
Ethan threw himself in to the task “It was really fun, especially going in.”
Anders said “ I really enjoyed it, we cleared out half of the pond.”
Hannah said “It was fun and it was really messy.”
Fiona said “It was fun because I didn’t get wet!”
Lena liked it because she got a wet bum!
Roma liked it because it was stinky.
Esther thought that it was fun to clear it out but it was stinky though!
Isla thought it was fun to make a huge pile of the vegetation from the pond.
Elijah thought the weeds were quite tasty…not really!!!

This week we have been learning more about how our climate is being affected by the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We carried out an investigation to see how this affects temperature.
On Friday 10th September the P7s and Ms Scanlan had a rocky adventure with Rob at Scatness. Everyone challenged themselves with a look over the high cliffs, explored the rocky beach, searched for (and found – thank you Leighton) the geo cache, explored the Iron Age building, walked across the land bridge (without using our hands!), had a mindful moment and finally went on a rock hunt. We even tried a bit of sea lettuce!
As always we had a great day – thank you to Rob – and we’re looking forward to the next one already 🙂
Over the last few weeks P6/7 have been doing lots of citizen science activities. We have recorded lichens in the school grounds to check the quality of our air and we have learnt how to use Excel to record weather data.
