We love… big questions

This week we have been lookin at how it gets dark at night and light during the day. The bairns listened really well to an input and we had a demonstration (by the children) on how the moon orbits Earth and how Earth orbits the sun. The bairns then went on to make their own paper version. Lots of lovely dialogue and discussions were overheard when carrying out their target.

We love… weather instruments

This week, for our big question, we have been looking at the weather and instruments that could be used for measuring different types of weather. This included thermometers, barometers, anemometers, weathervanes and rain gauges. The bairns enjoyed learning about the different instruments and having a go of anemometers. They did a quiz on the different instruments and they did brilliantly. Next week our play project will be weather so I hope to see some of the things they learn this week roll over into next week.

We love… tomatoes

Last year, the bairns planted some tomatoes at the local polycrub. We were delighted to bring some back with the group that visited this week. We got delicious red and yellow tomatoes so we had to have a taste. They were described as being delicious, yummy, sweet, juicy and tasty! We are lucky enough to have a group of bairns visit the polycrub on a Monday afternoon. We also had some tatties back and the canteen staff made some mashed tatties and some tattie salad. Was so lovely for the bairns to see their hard work in action and what it can produce. Thanks to all involved!

 

We love… sleep

This week, our big question has been about the importance of sleep. I asked if the children had any good ideas on how we could evidence our learning and Etta suggested, “Why don’t we get a photo of us pretending to sleep and then we can write things on it..?” I thought that this was a great idea and the rest of the class agreed!! Here are some of the things the bairns came up with… (Thanks to Etta for the super idea!)
