Sharing Our Learning
P7/6 were learning about electricity this week and about which materials are conductors and which are insulators. We made predictions and then planned an experiment to test different materials within a circuit to check if the were conductors of electricity or not. We checked this by including them in a circuit with a bulb to check of the bulb would still light. We then wrote up our findings and used our knowledge of circuit symbols to draw a diagram.
What a fabulous celebration for St Andrew’s Day. The children enjoyed a ceiling with a modern twist and enjoyed their toast to Scotland!
P6/5 did a fabulous job in leading our St Andrew’s Day Assembly. They shared artwork inspired by Scottish culture, recited a St Andrew’s Day poetry, and performed a drama about the story of St Andrew.
The children showed off a traditional Scottish dance and finished off with a sing along to The Proclaimers – 500 miles. We are very lucky to have such talented pupils here at Longridge Primary.
Thank you so much to those families who came to celebrate St Andrew’s Day with us!
Primary 4 have started learning about Rainforests. We have looked at where rainforests are in the world and what the climate is like in a rainforest. This week, we investigated the different layers of a rainforest, the different climates they have and the animals and plants that live in each layer. We used our critical thinking skills to research and complete a fact file on the layers of a rainforest.
P3/2 have enjoyed exploring shapes this week and have been learning to use different shapes to create tessellation patterns. We used our critical thinking skills to decided which shapes we could use to tile and what shapes would not be good as they would leave gaps. We then used our creativity to create different pictures.
