Well done to Milli and her dad for this fantastic effort in IDL homework. Milli tells us the sword is 44 inches long which she researched was the real length of Robert the Bruces sword. She also learned her family Motto was Sero Sed Serio (late but in earnest). Milli was our Pupil of the Week this Friday. Looking forward to lots more great homework from P4!
Well done to Nathan and Connal from P5 for their recent participation in the area final for the annual engineering competition run by Glasgow Science Centre. The event took place at Glasgow University’s Dumfries campus. Connal and Nathan were two out of 26 pupils who reached the final, out of an overall entry of over one thousand students. Well done to both of them. The judges were particularly impressed with their problem solving, communication and presenting skills.
We have been quietly introducing programming to our curriculum this year. Our children are really taking to it. Here we see Matthew working on an on going project of his. The enthusiasm and ability to latch onto the possibilities that the software offers is hugely encouraging. You can find out more about Scratch and even try it yourself for free via the link on our Homework Activities toolbar at the right hand side of this blog.
Today P3 were introduced to our new Knex engines. They used them to make things that spin and travel.
