Taynuilt Primary School and ELC
The life and learning of a village school in the west of Scotland
The children have had a whale of a time today exploring the new outdoor equipment that was delivered today. The ELC crawled straight into the pipes and barrels and the P6/5 worked out how to make large structures from 3D shapes.
Work is well underway to prepare our performance of
‘The MacCabbra Opera House’ with Scottish opera.
We built a huge hive in 3D from blocks
The last day of science week 😞
Today was all about the chemistry of carbon dioxide – we thought about how to create a reaction using just fizzy drinks and mento sweets. The children were challenged to think about what they wanted to test (flavour of drink, diet versus normal or number of mentos) and to come up with an experiment that was a fair test to test their predictions. We thought about what happened, and why it happened.
A huge, huge thank you to the p7/6 pupils who have grown so much over the week, running sessions, developing their questioning skills and beginning their journey as STEM leaders (more to come on this so stay tuned!).
We hope everyone has had a brilliant scientific week.
This week P5/4 managed their weekly road safety walk, between showers! The leaders Emma and Grace completed a risk assessment and led the class around the village, safely crossing the main road. Leadership skills, life skills, responsibility and personal safety. A wee blast of fresh air and exercise too.
We parked the cars in a line.
