As part of our topic we were interested to read this article about the first bombing on land during WW2 in Britain which happened in Shetland. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-50354168
We wrote our own reports here: Run Rabbit Run reports

On Tuesday, we had fun with our buddies. We taught them a little bit about Remembrance Day and we used paint and tissue paper to create poppies for the community remembrance service.

This morning we wrote a class poem to describe the fireworks:
Fireworks
Orange like a juicy tangerine,
Loud like Jack,
3D, dangerous,
Scary like Leah,
Polluting,
Fizzing like Fanta,
Sizzling like a meaty sausage,
Pretty like a pink princess,
Smoke like smoky bacon crisps,
Fireworks – high like a snowy mountain.

As part of our project on Space, today we were learning about the phases of the moon. We made models using oreos. We even managed to wait until we were finished to eat them!

We were baking for our coffee morning tomorrow. We made scones and pancakes.
One group made scones, the others made pancakes. They were all good!

We did two experiments with visitors from Environmental Health.
First we put this gel on our hands, next we washed our hands with warm water and soap then we put them under a machine and we saw if we had germs. Then we put a cotton bud on different surfaces to check for germs. There were some big numbers!

As this is Maths Week, we decided to do some maths with our buddies. We went outside to make numbers using things we could find, before being rained off. After that, we came inside and wrote out our numbers in rainbow colours!

We had a great time working with the Early Years earlier in the week – teaching them about handwashing. Thank you to Abby and Zac for their reports.
On Wednesday the 18th the P6/7 class taught the Early Years about washing hands and about germs in the classroom. We were teaching them about germs to show them if they forget to wash their hands with soap and water then they might get sick.
Then we got into small groups a mixture of Early Years and P6/7. Then we got a tray and we filled it half way up with water. We put a shake of pepper in the tray and then we added a squirt of soap in. The pepper moved to the side of the tray and made the water look clean. The Early Years were amazed that this had happened. Next we moved on to straw painting.
In our groups we got some straws, paper and paint and mixed the paint with water. We used red, blue, green, purple and yellow. Then we helped the Early Years splodge a little blob of paint onto paper and we blew through the straws onto the wet paint. It spread out in weird shapes. After that we stuck on googly eyes to make them look like germ monsters. The Early Years enjoyed doing this.
At the end we taught them how to wash their hands after using the paint when their hands were dirty and then we taught them how to walk sensibly up the corridor back to the Early Years.

Germs! (With the Early Years)
Today the early years came to the p6/7 classroom so that we could teach them about germs and washing your hands.
First we got the Early Years to stand around a row of A4 paper. Mrs Lawson squirted some water to see how far you would sneeze. The Early Years seemed to like and thought it was funny.
Next we got them go spilt in 4 groups. We had Isla W, Chloe, Esme and Archie. Then we did an experiment to see how germs reacted to soap. First, we filled a tray with water halfway full. Next we sprinkled some Pepper on the water. Then Mrs Lawson squirted some soap on the pepper. The early years thought it was amazing!
We then went to the Art room and made germs with paint; we mixed up paint and water and put it on the paper, then they got a straw and blew the paint so that it gave it a cool effect! Then we stuck on some googly eyes.
Finally we took the early years to the bathroom and helped them to wash their hands. We had a great time working with the Early Years and they liked it too!

Today we went for a walk to demonstrate the scale of the solar system. Everything was shrunk down so that the sun was the size of a ball. We couldn’t believe how small Earth was in comparison!
We walked between the planets to see how far apart they were. Some are closer than others. Mercury is only 10 steps from the Sun but we had to walk another 9 for Venus, 7 for Earth, 14 for Mars, then 95 for Jupiter, another 112 for Saturn, 249 for Uranus and finally another 281 for Neptune. This took us over the cattle grid!

Kieran – We were looking for angles around the school.
Tom – A right angle is 90 degrees
Miley – An obtuse angle is bigger than 90 but less than 180
Joe – A straight line is 180 degrees
Shannon – A reflex angle is bigger than 180
Calum – Acute angles are smaller than 90 degrees.
