A lady from Smoking Matters paid a visit to P6 last week to inform them about the dangers of smoking on the body as well as the impact it has on their money. P6 really enjoyed the session.

P.5/6 took part in a K’nex Young Engineers Challenge which involved working together in pairs to create a model using K’nex materials.  Pupils were given a specific challenge with very clear criteria – plan and build a bridge which can accommodate vehicles and can be raised to allow boats of any height to pass freely underneath. They were given specific dimensions and the bridge had to hold a bottle of water to ensure its sturdiness.  Skills developed during this task were cooperation, perseverance, problem solving and resilience amongst many more.  After a very difficult judging process the pupils through to the Cluster Heat, taking place on the 2^nd March at Stranraer Academy, are Struan Young and Joshua Fraser.
