The chicks managed to do some painting in school today, we think they need a bath tonight 🐣

This afternoon P5/6 were joined by Angus and Tobias, both engineers, who showed us some of the work they have done in building robots. We worked in groups to plan and design what our own robots would look like and then used spaghetti and marshmallows to turn our plans into models. We realised that plans need to be adapted and that certain shapes are really good at making models stay up!

The chicks are starting to get more confident and comfortable being out the brooding box 🐣

This week is Science week in St Joseph’s. To help us celebrate, Glasgow Science Centre came to visit! Our P1-P3/4 classes took part in Fit lab workshops on Monday. Today P4 – P7 we’re learning about energy sources and, in particular, sustainable energy. We had lots of fun watching the Future Fuels Science show and taking part in class workshops.

After a weekend away from school, the chicks were delighted to be back with p3/4. We noticed that some of the chicks have started to feather, especially around their wings!

This morning we got all 10 chicks out of incubator for the first time together. Some chicks even made some new friends! 🐣

Primary 4 have throughly enjoyed their first experience of agile learning. The theme was transport, their new topic. We built cars and bikes using Knex, explored construction transport in the sand, listened to songs, made posters and PowerPoints and participated in drama about road safety.

Another busy day for us in p3/4 as all 10 of our eggs have now hatched! We now have 5 boys and 5 girls. Today was also the first day we got to hold them 🐣

We have had an exciting day in p3/4 with 6 of our 10 eggs hatching! We love having our new little hatchlings in our classroom 🐣
