The Great Science Share – Week 4

What did you investigate last week? Did you go on a nature scavenger hunt? I went out with my son and we found 3 millipedes in the garden, and we even found a toad under the hedge! This was the most interesting as we don’t have any water near us so we investigated this! It turns out that toads live away from water in leaf litter and log piles and they can even dig shallow burrows. Wow!

This week our theme is Waste Warrior Week

We, as a society, are very wasteful. Can you investigate what happens to our waste?

How are food and household items produced?

How far does your food have to travel to get to your plate?

How long does it take for different types of plastic to decompose?

How can we reduce, reuse or re-purpose our waste? What can you make or create?

Can you grow any vegetables at home? (There is a great way to re-grow some types of vegetables – I regrow spring onions by popping the chopped off root into water and letting them grow again! Can you try this?)

Remember and tag me in your Teams post or email your investigations into school!

Have fun saving the planet Waste Warriors!

The Great School Science Share – Week 3

What did you investigate last week? Did anyone get a chance to go out and see the green-tinged Comet Swan with its 11 million mile long tail? It could get brighter by the end of the month and your best chance of seeing it is just before dawn – so get up early!

This week I want you to go on a Nature Scavenger Hunt!

Can you go on a mini-beast hunt? What types of mini-beasts can you find? Where do they like to live? Count how many different species you can find.

Go for a leaf walk – how many different types of trees are there around you? Can you create a nature picture using the leaves you found?

What animals do you have that come into your garden? Can you make a hedgehog house?

Can you go on a spider safari in your house or in the garden? Can you identify the different types of spider?

Make sure you are careful and gentle with any living creatures you find. If you disturb their home make sure to replace it carefully once you have had a look.

 

Remember to upload any of your findings to Teams and tag me in them, or send in an email to school.

Happy hunting!

Dear Primary 1,

How are you all? We hope you had a lovely long weekend. One of our activities this week is to write a letter, so we decided to put our Blog Post in the form of a letter to help out with your layout.

Attached is the Home Learning Grid, some ideas for playing Staying Quiet games to help our Listening skills and, the next common words for the group who reads with Ms Boyes and Mrs Forbes.

All Numberblocks episodes are now available to watch on the BBC iplayer, to help you with your Numeracy skills.

Have a good week learning.

Love from,

Mrs Grieve, Mrs Murdoch, Mrs Forbes and Ms Boyes.
