Last week we had a fantastic time at the Science centre.
Here are some pictures of our trip.
We got to investigate and try all of the different science activities and enjoyed a Fun with Forces Christmas Workshop! We had to help santa sort out all of the push and pull toys. Then we had to make a rocket to help Rudolph get back to the North Pole in time for Christmas!
We loved being able to share our learning with others.
Today in P3 we launched into our Fantastic Forces Topic with a bang! We had lots of fun at our Workshop with Lee from Funky Science
We learned about gravity and different forces . We got to make and launch our own rockets!
We had lots of questions which we are looking forward to answering with our learning this term!
As part of their Extreme Earth context, Primary 7H have been looking at the effects of Natural Disasters on communities. One of the problems people might face after an earthquake or flood is access to clean water so we looked at what could be used to filter water in the case of a Natural Disaster.
Miss Campbell set up the experiment with us asking us to find out which materials are best to filter out the mud and debris often found in water after a disaster.
We used sand, stones and cotton wool to try and filter the water, we recognised that cotton wool could be swapped for clothing after the event of a disaster as cotton wool may not be readily available.
We made predictions about what materials would be best at soaking up the dirt in the water and found that putting both the stones and cotton wool together was the best. We decided that it would still be best to boil the water after cleaning it up to make sure it was safe to drink.
Our learning journey so far…
We have been busy bees!
We have been learning all about numbers to 20
We have been learning all about the sky. We were super scientists and did the Rainbow Walking Water Experiment.
We had lots of fun at our Forest School Bonfire!
