P7 have been learning about the Titanic, and recently investigated the varying types of water pressure. When the Titanic hit the iceberg, it caused a tear in the iron frame that allowed up to 7 tons of water in a second. As the tear was at the deepest part of the ship, it was susceptible to the heaviest water pressure, and because a huge amount of water flooded the ship is the reason it sank. We experimented with pressure in a water container with the water at the deepest part causing the greatest pressure. As you can see from the photos, the children really enjoyed it.
P4A had great fun learning some yoga, massage and breathing techniques during our nurturing session.
Congratulations to Codi and Sophie for winning Healthy Kidz prizes. Codi won a voucher for JD Sports for most improved time, while Sophie won a Healthy Kidz Goodie bag for best time overall. 👏👏👏
We made our very own transport! They all have wheels and can move perfectly 👌
We have been estimating and measuring how much water certain containers hold. We looks at which container holds more than or less than another.
P2LM have had great fun practising for Sports’ Day in Healthy Kidz sessions.
We enjoyed a short outing to Portadown library this week. The children learnt all about the library and what it has to offer, including craft classes and a Lego Club!!! We learnt how to locate fiction and non fiction books and were taught how to use the scanners. We had an interesting morning.
What have had lots of fun this month learning about rainbows, reading our favourite Fairy Tale stories and getting ready for Easter!
Primary 7 had a great afternoon experimenting with cold water. They were tasked to consider the effects of cold water on the human body. Some predicted you would shiver, some thought your skin would change colour and some said you would be in shock. When Titanic sunk, most people died because of the coldness rather than drowning under the water. A sad thought but one we would be looking at in more detail with this experiment. Children enjoyed placing their hands in cold water to see how it affected their dexterity and movement while building Jenga blocks. We all concluded that cold water did indeed make a big difference to the human body. Pupils did a great job and really enjoyed it. As you can see from the pictures, the cold water had quite the impact. Well done, P7 🙂
