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!
P1A had a delivery of some creative crates to extend our outdoor play opportunities. Our first problem was how to transport the boxes outside. This was easily solved as the children worked together to carry them outside. The crates and the boxes resulted in lots of imaginative play and fun outside!
P2 have been developing their handwriting using finger lights and the smart board. We completed additional practice on the floor before using our jotters.
