What a trip we had!  A1 and A2 spent the day at the Glasgow Science Centre and had an absolute ball.  We learned lots of things about how the body works including inflating lungs and pumping blood round the body.  We explored electricity and how there are lots of different ways to make it. Our favourite part had to be the optical illusions – the tricks that can be played on our eyes was something quite amazing.

We finished our trip with a workshop in the Planetarium.  This was to finish off our learning about Space and the Planets.  We enjoyed star gazing, travelling through space, landing on Mars and looking at the stunning views from the Space Station.

Here’s a selection of our photos! It was so difficult to decide which ones to show!

A2 have been busy learning in the Sensory Garden and the Outdoor Classroom this week.  Our job was to find some interesting objects and then use them to create a picture.  We had everything from a chef cooking a chocolate cake to a character called ‘Leafy’ in a boat.  We spent some time writing imaginative stories to match our pictures – definitely something to have a read of!

We were then tasked with the job of creating and making our own paint brushes.  We searched high and low for different materials like sticks, grass and all sorts of leaves.  You’ll just have to watch this space to see the art we created with them!

Mrs Bryce had a lovely day working in Maths Blast last week.  All children worked really hard to select their own criteria for sorting their natural resources.  Well done everyone!  Take a look at our hard work!

A1’s topic this term is ‘Water’ and we decided to get a special pet for our class. Meet our new friend Freddie!
