Little Giants P3/4

2 Comments

We got to enjoy a special show today. It was called Little Giants and was part of the Science Festival. Through this show we got to learn lots about honey bees which will help us with our topic on minibeasts. Did you know that honey is made from nectar that a bee carries in their stomach! We got to learn the waggle dance that bees do to show other bees where the good flowers are. We got to be bees in a special garden and had to use our sense of smell to work out each flower. There was strawberry, orange, rose and vanilla.

Research and presenting

2 Comments

We have been learning about minibeasts. On Tuesday we learnt about the life cycle of a butterfly. On Friday it was our turn to research the life cycle of another minibeast. We had to work in small groups to find the information using the internet and books. We then had to decide how to present the information to the class (say, write, make, do). The two choices  groups went for were acting it out (do) and to create a poster (write). You can click on the links to see two of the videos.

P4 recycled art

1 Comment

 

 

P4 pupils from Greenrigg and Stoneyburn joined up today to do some recycled art. We had asked for pupils to bring in bottle lids, cans and jar lids and we received a huge amount. Pupils had a great choice of materials to choose from. Apart from being shown a few ideas the pupils were given free choice to use the materials they wanted and create their own design. We had a huge range of art produced including pictures and models. Many groups had some issues with joining materials and had to experiment with the best way to get their different parts to stick together. In the afternoon we went outside. Two groups were given a supply of cans and bottle lids and to plan and create a finished design. The boys went for a spiral design and the girls created a snake.

Minibeast Topic P3/4

2 Comments

P3/4 are starting a new topic on minibeasts. We shared what we already knew about minibeasts. We then asked all the questions for things we would like to know and these are in our floorbook. During our learning we will go back to these questions and see which ones we have answered and look at ones we need to find out more.
