24/522- Models
Today we started making models as part of our topic on electricity. The model has to light up in some way, some of the children have designed animals with lightbulbs for their nose or eyes. Others are making spaceships and buildings. We will post some photos of the finished models.
10/5/22- Circuits
Today we made a bulb light up using wires, a bulb and batteries.
After that we were challenged to make a switch using cardboard, paper fasteners and a paper clip. With a bit of help we all managed to make a switch to make our bulb go on and off!
We had lots of fun!
26/04/22- Sound
We have been looking at how sounds are created and today we looked at how high and low pitched sounds are created.
We filled the test tubes with different amounts of water then blew over the top of them to create high and low sounds.
It was a very noisy afternoon!!
29/03/22 - Castle Silhouettes
We created marbling backgrounds and then drew castle silhouettes to put on the backgrounds.

We then created posters about being respectful online.

Having looked at the main parts of a castle, each table is having a go at making a Scottish Castle. When they are complete we will show you and you have to guess which castle each one is. No cheating though!
18.1.22 - Paul Klee
We looked at the artist Paul Klee, then we had a go a creating his famous pictures- Cat and Bird. We took inspiration from his painting, Castle and Sun to create our own castles. We are very pleased with our pictures although using the pastel crayons for the castles was a bit messy!

Some pictures of our new P4 classroom, it is lovely and bright. We have been getting used to the class routines again and we have all had a fun week.
This week we have identified learning targets which are our next steps in Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Wellbeing. They are displayed on the guitars we made in art.... Rocking Resolutions!! Once a target is reached you can chose a song to sing, listen to or dance to in class. Until then we'll be subjected to Mrs MacLelland's 80's classics!! :-)
