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!

Eating crackers are impossibly hard to eat without water because the saliva in your mouth can’t produce quickly enough to swallow. So, you’re left with crumbs in your mouth!
Today we did an experiment on the digestive system!
First, we added banana and cornflakes into a bowl which represented our mouth,
Next we added water which represents saliva which contains enzymes which help to digest our food.
Next we added the mixture to our sandwich bag which represented our oesophagus and added coloured water which represented different enzymes.
Then the mixtures was pushed by muscles into our stomach and churned around.
Then it went into our small intestine (which is actually the longer one!) and water and nutrients were absorbed into the bloodstream (the bowl.) Next, it went to the large intestine and excess water was removed.
Finally, the waste product was pushed out into the bowl – look at our faces!

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

We all enjoyed learning a new times table game this week – using arrays. We worked well with our partners – maths is fun!
Well done to our Junior Road Safety Officers – Megan, Eldars and Alisers who have worked hard to promote road safety in our school this year.
They attended a ceremony at the town hall in Lerwick on Tuesday where they presented their work using a Sway presentation and were presented with certificates and goody bags.
Well done, Primary 6.
This term we have been learning about animals, plants and ecosystems. Today, we finished learning about inheritance. We made reebops and then paired together to find out what their children would look like. We learned about phenotypes, genotypes and alleles. We worked really well together.
Today we had an assembly to celebrate our achievements this year. We had written a top secret song for our three P7 leavers, Simone, Vanja and Ryszard. We had done a great job keeping our secret and our P7s were amazed by our hard work!
We also awarded certificates to each other, were awarded certificates from our teachers as well as some other special awards.
Here are some photos of our performance of The Ogre that had No Heart!
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!
