Last day of term

Happy Easter!

2 Comments

Primary 4/5 would like to wish everyone a happy Easter. We made Easter baskets on Wednesday and Miss Nicholson hid eggs around the classroom for us to have an Easter egg hunt this morning. We had great time trying to find all the eggs and bunnies! Once people had found all their eggs/bunnies they helped each other find ones. We think she should make it harder next time. Although we couldn’t  find 2 of the smaller eggs and Miss Nicholson couldn’t remember where she put them which we thought was funny! She had spare ones so no one was short of eggs. We wonder if we will ever find them!

Enjoy your holidays everyone!

Mr Rose shows us the planetarium

Leave a comment

We were very lucky to have Mr Rose come back to visit us again. This time he took the planetarium with him, we enjoyed learning about the stars and constellations. Most of the Primary 4/5s went in the morning and some of us had to go after break with the 6/7s  as we are a big class and they don’t have as many in their class. It was great fun and a great way to end our space topic!

Building space rockets

Leave a comment

On Thursday the 16th we were asked to get into the same groups that we were in when we made our posters. Miss Nicholson and Miss Morrison told us that we were going to be making space rockets out of junk. It had to be taller than a ruler but smaller than 1 metre. They had gathered a lot of ‘junk’ for us to choose from. We took it in turns for each group member to go to the desk with the ‘junk’ and select one piece at a time that we thought would be good to use for a rocket. Once we gathered enough resources we then began building our rockets.

Today we got to paint our junk model space rockets that we built.

Once we were finished we had to think of a name for our rocket, where our rocket was going and why and who was in the rocket! We had great fun and worked really well in our groups and with other groups as we had to share the masking tape.
