Primary 5D pupils created 3D models of Scottish mammals and birds and presented interesting facts about their chosen animal. Mrs Dyson was very impressed with how much effort pupils made with this homework task and was amazed with how different each model was. Well done everyone! Pupils gave a presentation to the class then shared their research and models with pupils from P4/5. All models are now on display outside our classroom and have received lots of praise from staff and pupils.
Another great week with our Code Clubbers recording their own ChatBot conversations, creating their own Boat Race games, Dodgeball games and Steady Hand tester game with a Micro:bit score recorder. Well done everyone!
