Shoe Box Appeal

Sandness Primary School wrapped and filled 19 shoe boxes for children and adults in need. We did this because some people around the world don’t get presents and can’t even afford a toothbrush!

Some of the places where the shoe boxes are sent to are  Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Romania Serbia and Ukraine. The boxes are sent now so some one in need just in time for Christmas

Our Experiment – Lungs

We did an experiment to find out our lung capacity. We had to get a long pipe, a milk bottles, lots of water and a big bucket. We blew into the pipe which showed how much air we had in our lungs. Alice had the most – 1800ml! It was fun and interesting!
