As part of our approach to teaching spelling, pupils are encouraged to say words in the Queen’s English. This is referred to as ‘Crown Time’. We stretch out the words to help identify the sounds.
This week we have been lucky enough to join in on different live lessons hosted by Glasgow Science Centre. Some of these included :
Saving our Scottish Seas
Climate Change from Space
Weather and Climate Change with the delightful Heather Reid (Heather with the Weather)
and even looking at Scotland's Tidal Energy
The lessons consisted of a presentation from each speaker followed by a live question and answer session with each. We learned lots of new fascinating facts and are even more determined to save our Planet.
We are learning to measure accurately using measuring tapes. We used our problem-solving skills to place items on cargo in the hold with bonus point if you can ensure no similar coloured luggage is touching! It really had us scratching our heads!
We have been code cracking to work out who has been tampering with our equipment! We have been helping clear the ocean by following mathematical instructions to solve the problem.
During the next few days we will be re-building the logo that has smashed into lots of mathematical shapes. Use our problem solving skills to get all spaceship personnel safely across a river. However, the rules are very specific, so we really will have to think about our next move.
We are having a fabulous time on our Intergalactic Space Adventure!
