This week we decided to stay inside due to the poor weather and we learned how to purify water. We went outside into the open area in small groups with jenny and received an extremely dirty cup of water and our challenge was to filter it! We were given lots of items to clean our water including: coffee filter paper, sieves, funnels, pipettes, spoons, sponges and cloths. Our groups got the choice of what and how we used each item. Afterwards, we compared each group's cup of water and the methods they used. Group 2 were the winners but we all had a great time!

This week we done an experiment with water and salt. We quickly sorted ourselves into four groups. Our teacher explained this week we were going to mix salt and water thoroughly together then over the course of a few days we would see who’s water was left as we were to guess what option out of a plate or cup would let the water evaporate quicker. Next, our groups were given either a cup , plate or both, it was our groups decision. Then one member of each group filled the cup or plate with some water and poured in some pinches of salt. Over the next few days our class realised the groups who had picked the plate, had barely any water left!

Yesterday our P7s went to Knockburn Loch. We spent the morning paddle-boarding and then, after we had warmed up a little, did some raft-building. Unfortunately neither raft we made floated, so we had lots of fun splashing and swimming and around in the loch. After we had dried off, we went to the park in Banchory and had our lunch. We ended the day with an ice-cram from the local shop. A great day was had by all!

Time: Over night and morning. We found a poorly Bat in our garden after a day out. We could clearly see it’s wing had been damaged and could not fly.. thanks to Help from a nation wide bat help line we were able to make contact with Sussex Bat group they gave us advise to keep him safe at home and fed and watered. We researched and he is a Soprano pipistrelle and they came to collect the Bat the next afternoon to take him to bat hospital. We will be updated on his recovery.

Day 8: found a dead 🐝 and we investigated to see wether it’s a bee or a wasp. Day 9: we went to Stonehenge and looked at the different flowers and plants found in the area. Day10 : we watched the partial Solar Eclipse.
