Farm Trip
Despite the rain, we had a super trip to Boreland of Colvend last week. Some of the highlights included seeing the dairy cows being milked in the parlour, testing out the tractors and quad bike and of course feeding the calves and lambs!
Thank you to the Roans and RHET! (and the BBC, who were filming).

Primary 4 Class Trips

P5D create Lego Robots!
Primary 5D pupils participated in an amazing ComputerXplorers Workshop and astounded everyone with their engineering skills. They used the latest Lego Robotics Technology to build and program amazing creatures that moved using motors, gears and wheels. Pupils learned how to program sensors to make robots respond to their surroundings. They worked collaboratively to make Lego lions roar and then lie down when thrown a bone. They used skills of coding and programming to make crocodiles snap, sailboats rock, footballers dive randomly for the ball, kicking legs , plane engines rev and a sleeping giant wake up when approached. Mrs Dyson, Mrs Connel, Mrs Cox and Mrs Ross were blown away by the teamwork and computer skills demonstrated by every single participant. Fantastic work Primary Five!
