Primary 1 have had the opportunity to take advantage of the area which they have had a hand in designing. We asked the pupils what they would like to play with and have, where ever possible, tried to accommodate their ideas (the swimming pool, bouncy castle and flat screen tv were a little beyond us though!).
Some of our Primary 5 pupils took part in a Multisport Festival at Craigswood Sports Centre, as part of Livingston’s 60th Birthday Celebrations.
We tried out some new sports and some that we already love – Football, Badminton and Judo. Our competitive side came out during badminton and we had lots of fun with the Judo and Football coaches. We can’t wait to try out some of these clubs in the community.
In P4/5 we have been working on shape. Through play with 3D shape we have been creating buildings and other structures and describing them using mathematical language, such as vertices, edges and faces. We also created 3D shapes from their nets and went on a 3D shape hunt around our block and our classroom.
Everyone in P1A has made a super start to our final term in Primary 1!
We have been outside quite a bit this week, making the most of this lovely weather. We have been getting to grips with some new gardening tools which will be very handy when we start planting in our allotment.
Primary 6 have enjoyed learning about solids, liquids and gases in Science recently. We have been investigating the different ways we can change the states of materials.
We have also created our own water filter systems to filter the dirt from the water.
As part of Science week and our IDL topic the children have been exploring how to make and test predictions about solids dissolving in water.
Experiment one involved the children to predict, investigate and record how solubility is affected by heat and stirring. The children had to predict which method would dissolve the sugar the quickest and why. We looked at this through using cold water, warm water, warm water stirred or cold water stirred. The children all worked in groups and discovered that the warm stirred water was the quickest because when water is heated and stirred, the molecules gain energy and thus, move faster.
To follow this experiment we also did the Skittle Experiment and the children loved learning that warm water dissolves the food colouring on the sweets and makes beautiful rainbow patterns. The children all had good fun and enjoyed being Scientists.
Primary 5 took an exciting trip to The Sky Academy Studios.
Each of us were given an important role (Director, Producer, Scriptwriter, Reporter, Eyewitness, Camera Operator, Editor) within our studio groups. We all worked very hard as a team, to create a fantastic news report about Fake News and how to prevent it.
It was a great opportunity to work with experts and high-tech equipment. What great fun we had!
