P 2/3 Weekly Blog

As part of our topic we have been presenting class talks about different things in our community. We have heard talks about football clubs which some of the children attend, we have heard about some great parks that people visit that are nearby and also some children talked about their karate club. The children presented their talks very confidently to the whole class and they were very interesting.

Pootering about on a Mini Beast Safari

This week at Club Wild we had great fun making pooters, finding and soaking up mini beasts. Pooters are a great way to examine mini beasts up close.
We made them by first making two holes in the top of a jar, taking two lengths of plastic tubing (15 and 25cm long), securing some gauze over the shorter one. We put yellow tape on the end of this tube and red tape on the end of the other longer piece and put plasticine round the holes to make our pooter air tight.
Now we are ready to pooter! Red to catch bugs and yellow to sook. It was funny to see how fast the bugs zoomed up the tubes and into our jars. Under logs in the playground we found beetles and woodlice, spiders and spider mites, millipedes and centipedes and we got to see the detail of their body parts, their legs and watch them move all before we set them free.

P6 Blog

P6 were responsible citizens this afternoon and set out to contribute to the care and maintenance of our school by litter picking around the school grounds. This links to our work on investigating the local area, as we are looking at the care and maintenance of Pumpherston and Uphall Station. We will be carrying out a research walk around Pumpherston next week to assess care and maintenance as well as other factors such as public transport and housing.
