British Science week 2026

As part of British Science week we have been making posters for a national competition . The theme this year is ‘What makes children’s lives positive?’ We discussed what makes us happy and feel good in our lives. We had some lovely responses, like family, friends, being outside in nature, animals, playing with friends etc.

We also made a web ecosystem, which was way more fun than it sounds! We each had a random animal, plant or source of food that can be found in our local environment. We had to choose another animal/plant/food source that we had a connection with and throw the ball of string to them. We very quickly saw how all the different parts of an ecosystem are connected.

Benchball

P6/5 have been learning the skills of benchball and enjoyed a spirited game this afternoon. We are encouraging teamwork and cooperation.

Slime Club

Slime club became play dough club today for our last session. We measured our flour, sale, oil and water and then got mixing.

Messy fun

The afterschool slime club had great fun today making oobleck. We were all amazed at the texture and consistency of oobleck. It’s a non Newtonian fluid that acts as both a solid and a liquid. It it’s made from cornflour and water-simple!

Sorry for the messy clothes. It will wash off easily.

P6/5 Interest Stations

This week in P6/5 we began our new block of Interest Stations. We used our critical thinking and creativity skills to create different animals and characters. 

One group practiced their fondant modelling skills, whilst another practiced using their hands and tools to create models using air dry clay. 

We can’t wait to improve these skills next week!
