Today we have been learning about the three states of water – solid, liquid and gas.
We put liquid water into a kettle, and watched as it turned to gas. We also saw how a big block of solid water (ice) melted into water in our classroom.
We had fun acting as molecules to show how these changes take place.
Well done to Ella, who was our photographer!
This morning we were lucky to have a visit from Generation Science who are part of the Edinburgh Science Festival. They performed for about fifty minutes, in a fun interactive show where we learned about electricity and renewable energy.
We had lots of fun!
This afternoon we worked really hard in teams to create an amazing water cycle display to show our learning. We used paint, tissue paper and glue!
We are so proud of our finished display!
This week we have begun to learn about the water cycle. This is the continuous process where water evaporates, travels into the air and becomes part of a cloud, falls down to earth as precipitation, and then evaporates again.
In our home teams, we designed a diagram and added blue water. We taped them to the window and have been able to watch the process in action!

This morning Andy Ross came in to start us with our project where we are going to make an opera about dinosaurs. Today we made up the story.
Jenna – We saw lots of cool fossils
Isaac – It was funny!
Erin – We played loads of fun games!
Michael – The games were fun and I touched fossilized dinosaur poop!
Lauree-Ann – It was fun!
This morning we went outside with Mrs Moar to the polytunnel. We got tatties from the Grow Your Own Potatoes project and are looking forward to seeing the results.
Isaac – it was cool!
Jenna – It is fun!
Chenet – I loved finding the slaters.
Ellla – I love finding slaters as well.
Jed – It was pretty easy to plant the tatties.
Jenna – Today we did a live workout with the Body Coach, Joe Wicks.
It was a workout for schools. Here is what we have to say:
Kealan – It was sort of sore!
Peter – It was a very tiring workout because he is very flexible!
Chenet – I felt a stretch all over my body!
Jenson – I thought it was pretty fun!
Mark – It was pretty sore!
Jenna – The stretches were fun!
Today with Miss Che we learned how to write Mandarin numbers using calligraphy. Miss Che showed us how to hold the brush correctly. We used magic paper to write with water. It was magic because our writing disappeared! We really enjoyed it!
We have been taking part in the Shetland Sumdog competition. Sumdog is a really fun way to practice our maths! We are in a league with over 30 other classes in Shetland. We are determined to finish in the top ten.
Here are some words we have to describe taking part:
