STEM Celebration Event

1 Reply

Primary sevens from all over the cluster gathered together for the Primary Engineering Awards at Arbroath High School to display their models and some were even given prizes for design and how well the wheels turned. 

From our school, two exceptional pupils (Connor Ruxton and Brendan Brogan)  won the ‘Apprentice’ award which was an award for the shoe box model without a motor.  Many talented pupils went up to the high school but only a few could win. 

Everyone at Ladyloan were very proud of Brendan and Connor and themselves, getting lots of praise back at school.

P7 Transition Visit

Leave a reply

img_7552On Monday 20th February P7 pupils from Ladyloan P.S & Timmergreens P.S visited Arbroath High School for a STEM Technology visit to familiarise themselves with the technology department and workshops.  While at the high school the pupils made trebuchets.  These were most commonly used in the Middle Ages in battle.

They used resources such as saws, hot glue guns, different pieces of woods and other materials.

Both classes were scared at first but soon understood what they had to do, work as a team!

At the end of the session they displayed the finished trebuchets and made it back to school by 3pm.
