Fun Run

Recently Brownhall held a Fun Run in the Crichton Grounds to raise money for school funds. Pupils completed a set number of laps of the course, which depended on the class they were in. A fantastic total of £630 was raised. Thank you very much to everyone who sponsored / donated money and also to the parents and family members who cheered on the children during the event.

Lego WeDo 2.0

As a result of a successful bid for funding from the Edina Trust, Brownhall were able to purchase four Lego WeDo 2.0 kits. Here are some photographs of the upper children following instructions on the laptop to build their model and then using the Lego software to do some coding so that they can make their models move, make a noise and light up.
