Today we were learning about rockets and aerodynamics. We asked the question, ‘Why are rockets shaped like pencils and not bricks?’

We made simple rockets and decorated them with colourful patterns.

We then went out into the playground and got ready for the launch.

 

P5 once again made the most of the good weather and headed outside to tidy up the garden and inspect the local wildlife.

P5 ventured outside this afternoon to explore our garden which has become very overgrown. We started doing a wee bit of weeding (very hard work!) and then used the microscopes to get up close to nature.

 

The focus of this week’s learning in Maths has been shape.

We had fun and also learned lots of new facts.

We found some shape related vocabulary in a pretty tricky Wordsearch…

We learned about isosceles, equilateral, scalene and right angled triangles and got some practice in using a protractor to measure angles.

We studied Wassily Kandinsky who liked to use 2D shapes in his artwork and even had a go at our own Kandinsky inspired art.

The activity we enjoyed the most was making nets of 3D shapes…

Today P6/5 throughly enjoyed some time outdoors in the sunshine challenging each other in maths. As you can see, some calculations were very tricky!!!

Primary 6/5 were tasked with creating a musical/percussion instrument at home and bringing it in to share with the class. Well done everyone, they look (and sound) fantastic!

This afternoon we were given the opportunity to take part in some outdoor creative free play. Kids go Wild provided us with some resources and we put them to good use.
