P4/5 have started their Natural disasters topic. They made the earth using the structur, inner core, outer core, mantle and crust. Some children even added volcanoes and Antarctica.

Wow what an excellent role model for a Gorebridge learner! Homework during breakfast, reading for 20 minutes. Excellent dedication to your learning journey E.

Today P4/5 were learning about tectonic plates and what causes an earthquake. They had a challenge to work in groups to build a tower that would be earthquake proof. After testing they then went back to change their design. What fantastic learning and great teamwork.

This week we cut into our mini earths to remind ourselves of the earths structur. Excellent recording by JM to show what she has learned.

Yesterday P4/5 were learning about earthquakes and why they happen. They then began making their own earthquake during art using clay.

P4/5M were exploring the force caused by a Tsunami and the destruction it could cause today. They used scrunched paper, soil water and added a village using Lego. Then they tested the force. NewbattleHighScience

P4/5 were looking at area. They were given a wooden square to work out its area and the area of each colour they used. As they are learning about Romans they looked at mosaics, created a design and worked out the area of each colour they would use. @Newbattlehigh
