A very busy week in P5A as we have been up to all different types of things math, shape shifters, castle shading, times tables and more!
We started learning about Mary Queen of Scots, and this week we have been learning about the places she visited. We sketched Linlithgow Palace, Stirling Castle, Holyrood and Chateau d’Amboise using pencil and are now adding shading to them.
At science we investigated oil slicks and how to separate the oil from the salt water. We found the sawdust and the cotton wool were best at removing the oil. We were surprised that blood is a mixture and we looked at the things that are in our blood on Tigtag.
We are working hard at getting faster at our multiplication tables and played Buzz to help. We sang multiplication Mashup too.
As promised ! Here is the recipe that some pupils did to make slime. This was not done in school and we cannot give you exact amounts,
They used Optrex, PVA glue, food colouring, shaving foam and hand wash. Another group also used laundry detergent and glitter. The school cannot accept liability for this and it requires parent supervision.
