Yesterday lunchtime we got a package delivered to the Purple Unit. It was addressed to P3M and the children were very excited to see what was inside! This is what it was…

As you can imagine the children were very excited to get going and worked very hard in their groups to get the task started. They have then spent today working together on their advertisements. Wall-E has been very impressed with how well they have communicated, shared ideas and listened to one another in their groups. Keep trying your best 3M!

The children were very excited to go to Techfest on Friday 31st August. We were lucky to go to 3 different workshops throughout the day.

Workshop 1 – From Plant to Plate with Duthie Park Ranger

The children were learning about how all food starts with a plant and they helped create different food chains. They then got to plant their own lettuce plant. I hope they are growing well at home!

Workshop 2 – K’Nex Under the Sea with Subsea 7

The children experienced how people are able to go under the sea in different equipment and scuba gear. They then looked at a real ROV and how they can help do some of the work under the sea as well. In groups, the children then made their own mini ROV with K’Nex.

Workshop 3 – Fun with Forces with the Aberdeen Science Centre

The children got to see and participate with different forces using equipment like balloons, coke cans and magnets.

I think its fair to say that the children had a great time and learned a lot from the different workshops. A big thank you to the parents that came along and to the others that offered to help.
