Drew brought his new drone into school today, to show us what he can do with it.
He took our new class photo with it, from the air and explained how he can use it to video the school and local environment. We all really enjoyed it and loved watching the videos and seeing the photos.
Thanks Drew!
This afternoon we finished off our models and what a great job everyone has done. Lots of imagination has gone into all the different designs .
Well done P7s.
Great progress is being made on our models. Everyone is busy this afternoon painting and decorating them. I can’t wait to see what they end up looking like!
This afternoon we continued on with our energy topic by looking at how pneumatic systems work.
We used two syringes, some tubing, a burger box, a paper cup and a pipe cleaner. We have made our model and they all open and close using pneumatics. We just need to paint and decorate them…watch this space!
Today is our final STEM session.
We started off by doing a sort activity about different types of energy.
Then we made a solar and wind farm.
Robert Leask really enjoyed making the power sources with Toby, Roman and Daniel.
Faith said “ It was really good fun to see how many volts our model generated – it was 4 volts!”
Isaac said “I liked fiddling around with all the little pieces. “
Mia especially enjoyed building the wind turbines.
Emma Chittick came to run our second STEM session today. This time we were finding out about solar power. We learnt about how solar power works and we had a go at making our own solar farms.
On 6th November, Emma Chittick came to P7 to start our renewable energy topic. We talked about the difference between renewable and non renewable energy, saw how turbines generate energy and were given the equipment to make our own turbines.
We have now finished our videos to send to the French competition. Here is one of the ones that we made earlier – an interview with Mbappe at Paris St Germain! Archie, Ronan and Junias take a bow!!!
We had fun trying out the different rainforest games made by other groups in the class. We then gave each group constructive feedback to help them improve their design further before we take them to another class to play.
We had great fun in Spanish today when we used the iPads to revise previous learning. We played Kahoot, a multi-choice game, which not only showed how many of us got the correct answer, but also who was the fastest.
Lauryn and Bertie won the first game, followed by Cerys and Michaela, with Fearghas and Lily Jane coming in third.
Emmy and Niamh won the second round.
The final game revised the vocabulary for days and months and was won by Lily Jane and Fearghas.
We all loved it and it really helped to remind us of the vocabulary we had previously covered.
Jemima and Zara both thought it was great fun but quite stressful!
Michael said, “It was really good and helpful to learn more Spanish.”
AJ commented, “I enjoyed using the iPads to learn Spanish.”
