A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Primary 2 have worked very hard creating their class charter!
We chose rights that we felt were important to our class:
* the right to be ourselves
* the right to say what we think and be listened to
* the right to show what we are good at.
We talked about what we might do in school to ensure these rights are followed. Finally, we ‘signed’ our charter with our own stars.
This is our charter:
Check in with us next week to see what we are learning!
Until then…

Welcome back from Primary 2!
We have been very busy this week and Miss McLaughlin has been learning lots of interesting things about us!
On Wednesday afternoon, we visited the school garden with Sarah-Jane. There were lots of ripe peas and broad beans ready for picking! We have stored them in the fridge and plan to make something tasty next week!
Some photos of our garden antics:
Check in with us next time to see what we have been learning!

This week, Primary 5 made some explosive discoveries!
In teams, we had made model volcanoes with Miss Mulholland. Next, we had to put on our Science hats and do some investigating – which combinations of materials (such as Mentos, cola, vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, washing up liquid) would create the most explosive chemical reaction?
We worked in teams to test different combinations and then fed back to the rest of the class. It seemed the most effective combination was vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. So, we prepared our volcanoes for the imminent explosions and added a touch of food colouring to make the liquid more ‘lava like’. Here are some of our explosions below.
We are looking forward to seeing what our next mini-project with Miss Mulholland will be!
Until next time…
