P6/7 school trip ( The gym bit!!)

8 Comments

Yesterday some of the lucky P6/7s got to go on a school trip to the exhibition centre in aberdeen and the Beacon Boys gym in Bridge o’Don. You will find out about the talk at the exhibition centre somewhere else in the blog but I am going to tell you about the gym. The gym was really good. There were two coaches and lots of equipment!!
There was a very wierd bouncy floor, a floor beam, a beam, a couple of centre meters of the ground beam and a compition beam, parallel bars, a trapeze and a tramproline. All the girls on the trip got to try the beam they had to try and walk backwards on the beam none of them fell off the beam. There was also a very long  bouncy tramproline that was Really fun, but it wasn’t like your tramproline that you have in your back  garden,it was much bigger and  bouncier and made for gymnastics. Everybody got to go on the tramproline everbody really enjoyed it some people couldn’t stop laughing it was so fun. There was a volt wich was very springy that you would have to jump on and then land on a mat you were told to try and  land perfectly on the mat but it was hard. The boys got to jump over a horse (not a real one.) and hold their own weight on parellel bars and go along it. On the bouncy floor mat they warmed up with some running and some stretches then they cooled down after.

It was really good fun thank you to the two tutors Mrs McIntosh, Mrs Deadman, Mrs Duncan, Mr Copper And Ms Whyte.

satrosphere trip

1 Comment

On Thursday p6b and p6a went to Satrosphere. They sang some songs on the way there and ate lots of sweets. At Satrosphere they got taught a lot of sciency things. A woman called Jen introduced “Science on the Spot” where they were taught things like if you get a small container and fill it up with water and drop a orange vitimin c tablet  in it , the lid would pop off .

Then, while the other class were doing “Science on the Spot”,  p6b went into the science lab and when we were in there Lola held a torch and Andrew, the person who was doing the theatre, held a lazer pen and we found out that the torch that Lola was holding was a lot more powerful than Andrews lazer because the normal torch would change colour, while Andrews laser was just be red and it wouldn’t change colour like Lolas. We also learned that if you take some fire to a balloon it would go BOOM!  PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME !!!!!!

When they got to wonder around they played on a bike that if you pedalled hard enough a model train would move. Also at Satrosphere there was a green screen that if you leaned against it your image would come up in black. There was also a thermal camera and a skeleton cycling a wave machine and lots of magnetic things.

On the way back everybody was tired but had had  an enjoyable and  jam packed day.
