P3/4 and P4 worked together in groups to design and make their own bridge.  The challenge was to make the bridge from dry spaghetti and marshmallows! The bridge had to hold a 10g weight and span a piece of A4 paper (water).  They worked very well in groups and came up with some clever ideas!

They even cleaned up after themselves!

After reading Ottoline at Sea, P3/4 designed and made their own Rove o’matic cameras complete with instant photos they thought Ottoline might have taken on her travels.

We have been learning about the life cycle of a butterfly and the butterflies are now ready to be let free into our garden.

They were a bit reluctant to go at first, enjoying the sunshine! Our class have loved looking at them everyday and were a bit sad to see them go.

Yesterday everyone participated in our Sports Day.  They all had a fantastic time, enjoying the sunshine and the variety of activities.  Here are the P4 race winners (Sprint, Sack and Obstacle Race):

A few weeks ago some special guests arrived in Primary Three – 5 tiny caterpillars. Since then we have watched them grow and form their own chrysalis’.  Along the way we have watched video clips, read information books and observed our caterpillars to find out more about them.

On Monday when we came into school we were all delighted to see five beautiful butterflies! We used the internet to find out that they like to drink the juice of fruit so Mrs Howie kindly gave us some for them. 🙂

So, this afternoon we all went out into our school garden and decided that close to some flowers would be the best place to release them. When we opened their habitat they were a bit shy at first, but eventually we got to see them fly up, up and away!

We are all hoping to see them back in our garden soon. Here are some pictures below;
