Another busy week in P5R:
As part of our Science topic this week we took part in some science experiments. We were learning about using different processes to separate mixtures of materials. This is what we did:
- We mixed salt and water together and then we had to wait for the water to evaporate to see the salt crystals appear.
- We mixed rice and paper clips and we used a magnet to pick up and separate the paper clips.
- We mixed sand with water and for this we used a funnel and used a filtration process to separate the sand from the water.
- We mixed raisins and flour and then we used a sieve to separate the raisins from the flour.
In P.E. we played tennis and we also played Jailbreak and Boil the Kettle.
For Word Boost we made up sentences using our Boost words.
We practised our new spellings.
We wrote a story about a girl called Francis who disappeared into the darkness.
We had a special assembly for ‘Wee John the Janny’ who is retiring today and we all gave him a card with our special messages and pictures.
It was European Day of Languages this week and we took part in a quiz to see where in Europe all the different languages are spoken.
Congratulations to Sophie for being awarded the Praise Postcard this week!
