Mrs. Stephens and our Book Ambassadors got a surprise visit from Bookbug yesterday. Bookbug was very impressed by our “refreshed”library area. Thank you to Mrs Stephens and the Book Ambassadors for all their hard work!
Bookbug Visit
P3/2 Learning
In maths P3/2 have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes. This week we took our learning outdoors and went on a ‘shape hunt’ around the playground looking at different objects and identifying their shape.
Problem Solving
During numeracy P3/2 have been working on developing their critical thinking, communication and collaboration skills. This week they collaborated together in groups to solve different problems using their critical thinking skills.
Woodworking
P3/2 have been collaborating with P2/1 during woodwork to create different resources. This week they made name tags for their desks in class. So much fun was had!
DNA Hunters
P6/5 were joined by scientists for an afternoon of experimenting and extracting DNA. The scientists from the university of Edinburgh set us a challenge to choose a fruit that we think would have a large amount of DNA, after researching and critically thinking about it we chose lemons. We had a discussion about DNA and chromosomes. We then had to match the fake chromosomes up in pairs. We had to use our collaboration skills to successfully follow the instructions in order to collect DNA samples in our groups. The scientists are taking our extractions back to their lab to calculate how much DNA each group managed to collect, we can’t wait to find out who the winning group is! #P6/5
Science Club
Our first after school science club was a huge success! We learned all about chemical reactions and especially enjoyed seeing the results of our experiments. There were lots of pops and bangs! We can’t wait to make potions next week!
