The P7s bid Dr Grassie a fond farewell and presented him with a wonderful keepsake of his time at Scotstown.  Dr Grassie was our BP link and over the years has given his time towards teaching us lots about Science!

Generation Science visited Scotstown this week to kick off our Science week.   P4 learned about The wonder of water, P6 and P7 learned about heat through ‘The Cosy Cosy Challenge’! Great fun!

This week we have all had a session with Kenneth from the SSPCA! He taught us all lots of different things about protecting animals.  He went to all classes from P4-7 and did a special assembly with P1-3! We scored 4 out  of 6 in his quiz and each got a magnet! Well done P1-3,

P6 have been participating in a Science Fair where they have been investigating lots of different areas of Science through their own experiments and recording their findings on display boards. Each school in the city is given the opportunity to send the two winning entries to the city wide Science Fair sponsored byIntertek. We are delighted and very proud to inform you that Deryn and Franzi won overall first place andAbeerah, Toni-Leigh and Kennedi were awarded overall 2nd place. A brilliant achievement!

Primary 6 and 7 participated in the Queen’s Baton Relay at Bridge of Don Academy today! A great time was had by all and we all felt privileged to be part of such an important occasion!

On Friday 7^th of March, our school will be supporting UNICEF UK’s Day for Change and we very much hope that you will join us in supporting this worthwhile, fun and educational event.  It is a great opportunity for our pupils to learn about and raise money for children in other parts of the world.The idea is very straight forward.  In return for a donation of £1, or more if you wish, to help UNICEF’s vital work, your child will be able to dress as they please.  All money will go to UNICEF.

By taking part in this important event, we can help support UNICEF’s work.

Our P6’s and Miss Hay have been hard at work towards the Science Champions Award.  They attended a training along side the P7s at Satrosphere to learn what they have to do!  The scheme involves the P6’s and P7’s working with Nursery to P3 classes in our school for a term and delivering lessons with a Science focus. 

We loved having Techfest work with us during Numeracy Week.  The whole school experienced various different workshops with Lesley and Lyndy.  Here are a few snaps from the P6 and P7 Workshop…

P3/4 made these wonderful castles for homework!  Aren’t they brilliant?

Friday 24th January was ‘Touch of Tartan’ Day at Scotstown.  We all came to school wearing some tartan and ready to contribute to our Assembly.  Over the week we were learning Scottish stories, poems and dances.  Of course, in honour of Mr Robbie Burns.  Our art work looks great….
