Making the most of the sunshine

What a beautiful day it has been today! P5-7 made the most of the lovely weather and practised their spelling words outside.

Egg Experiment

Yesterday Silvia, Mumbo, Johnny and Lulu went for a cycle. Lulu was not wearing a helmet properly so she craced her head open!. Silvia didn’t survive either. The shock went straight into the middle of egg and she cracked! Mumbo and Johnny survived because they had enough layers and Mumbo had tentacles to take the shock.

In this experiment we were learning about how fragile the skull can be. It can be hard enough to survive accidents if protected. This is why we should wear a helmet!

We have been learning about the skeleton. There are three functions. These are to keep you upright, make you move and protect your organs.

Tug of War and Walk to the Beach

What a fun day we had on Wednesday for our end of term church service, tug of war, (indoor) picnic lunch and a trip to the beach. We were joined by Happyhansel for the day and had a great time!

Walk to the Beach

We went to the Melby beach on the 14/06/2018 and collected seaweed to get rid of the weeds in our garden.

We collected 7 bags of seaweed and it was disgusting  collecting the seaweed!

Michaelwoods’

We went to Michaelswoods for health week. We had a walk  around and saw some dinosaurs and a Sabertooth tiger. It was so so so hot in the Polycrub when we were eating lunch. We played in the pirate ship and the swings. It was fun. by Liam, Finn, Alice and Sophie

 

Then we went to the swimming pool and then we went home.

Green Day!

Rocket science

We did some rocket science with Miss Fraser  yesterday. We made rockets out of paper and we tested them. They went far, some even went on to the road!

Drama on the Bog

Yesterday we went to Cunningsburgh to learn about trows, peat and bogs.

We learned about global warming. When the peat dries out the carbon dioxide doesn’t have anywhere to go and contributes to global warming. We got to meet two different trows who told us their stories.

Some words we would use to describe our day are:

  • really hot
  • fun
  • interesting
  • it was a loooong way
  • amazing
  • smelly
  • exciting

Thank you to all the organisers!

Bird Calls and Worm Charming

Yesterday we had a visit from Natalie and Karen from the RSPB. we did some bird calling games where we heard the bird calls and ran to a corner and if we got it right we got a chocolate bird egg . The poor chocolate birds had their eggs stolen.

After our game we tried some worm charming copying a curlew. By patting the floor the worms would think its raining and come up. We only found half a worm and 2 beetles. We tried again in the field and with more luck we found lots more worms.
