This week the Science Festival has brought us two shows. The first was from Dynamic Earth and was all about launching into space and surviving at the space station. We already knew a lot about this but the team made it very funny and we had a chance to reflect on how much we had learned by following Tim Peake's mission.
The girls got a football session which was very successful and gave them a chance to get some skill practice and have some healthy fun. Maybe a few more girls will take it up after this.
Meanwhile the boys started to get the museum ready. We hope to have a good display of items for visitors to look at. We need to think about interpretation of the objects we are going to display. The boys started to make 'stones' for a model building activity.
The second Science Festival Event was the Science Ceilidh band who explained how we sense sound and how the brain works. As well as playing music they helped us make up dances about eyes and ears sending messages to the brain. We even saw a real brain scan!
The STEM challenge this week was building a tower of plastic cups using only string. It took a while to work out a way of doing this but once the technique was mastered there was no stopping the builders!
Week 1 of cycling was fitted in around the other events. Starting off in the playground and then in the car park everyone practiced signals and looking back to make sure it is safe.
and there is still more to come! This was only Monday and Tuesday!
It was so fun making clay bricks for a wall what were going to make First you took a bit of clay and push really hard so its about as thick as your finger then smooth the sides out.It also fun doing cycling I think Im doing pretty well but so is everyone else there still a couple of days left and I hope I everyone keeps on doing well.Erlend
ReplyDeletehi class 6 i really enjoyed the girls football it was good fun that girls got a chance to do football we played a few football skill games and a real football game at the end.The Stem challenges were great fun aswell i was in a group with daisy Erlend and kadyn me and daisy figured a way to make the tower with teamwork.Cycling is great we get to do right hand turns left hand turns and we even did a u turn we have to be on the left hand side of your bike so if you are on a pavement close to the road and if there is an accident your bike will get crushed not you.jennifer
ReplyDeleteI like the cycling because it is interesting learning what to do.

ReplyDeleteHi class 6,
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun doing girls football, My favourite active was number football were we all got numbered then the lady would call a number and then if your number got called you have to run and try and score a goal. I had a lot of fun playing football.

DeleteHi class 5. we have done a lot in the past week. we have had cycling everyday. while we weren't doing our cycling we where doing other things like the first day we did a challenge where we had to stack cups but we couldn't use our hand's we could only use pieces of string.I thought my group was doing well because in our group when we had the height and the time competition we won but then we did a whole class competition and Aniesha Sofia Cierra and Jake's team thrashed us all. we did other things other days like there was the science festival and the girls football which was all really really good fun and interesting.it has been a fun week my favourite thing was the cup and string challenge because you had to problem solve and work as a team. I wonder what will be happening this week and if we'll do any more challenges. Daisy
ReplyDeleteHi class 6 I was not at the first Seince festival because I was doing the cycling with some others. The second Seince festival was really good i really liked the dance we made up at the end. I also liked the girls football we did a football game at the end and i dont know what team won.

I liked working on the stones because I had never done this before and it was nice see all the patters everyone has made.I also enjoyed cycling because it helped us to be safe on the road when on a bike so we don't get hurt. Darby
