P3 are switched on!

In science this term, Primary 3 are learning about electricity and electrical circuits.

We’ve learnt that electricity passes along conductive materials like metal and we’ve learnt how to construct a simple circuit using a battery, wires and a bulb.

This week we’ve learnt how to make a simple switch for our circuit out of some card, a paper clip and some brass pins.

The wires connect to the bottom of the pins and when the paper clip is moved to touch both pins, the circuit is complete. Electricity can now flow through the circuit and the bulb will light up!

P6 Skiing Stars

Our P6 pupils have started Skiing lessons at Hillend with our P6 friends from Mayfield Primary School.  Our shared sessions are really helping us to make new friends and learn new skills together!  Have a look at some of our photos below!

P3’s trees!

This term Primary 3 have been learning about the environment and how we can help to protect it. As part of out topic I asked the children to create pictures and models of trees using whatever they liked. Here are their wonderful creations!
