Today we held a coffee afternoon and baking competition to raise money for Children in Need.
Children in Need 2024
The Friday we did STEAM roller coaster challenge.
3 Fridays ago, the whole school did a STEAM challenge for a roller coaster made out of artstraws, a paper cup, a ping-pong ball, sellotape, cardboard and scissors. (It won’t let me insert the image of it, sorry)
My group had finished our’s first so Me and Cameron made something out of the spare bits, meanwhile the rest of our group decided to colour in the base of the roller coaster.
In the end we all had a pretty good roller coaster, as well as a really good miniature village which Me and Cameron had made out of the spares.
I loved our little roller coaster, but now it is packed away, probably crushed by the other ones 🙁 .
Thanks for reading! 😀
Maths Week Scotland 2024
As a whole school the Dunscore learners worked together in groups on some outdoor maths challenges. As you can see from the pictures they had a great time and participated in some excellent learning.
They also took part in a number of the MWS events/ activities:
P1-2 and P3-4 also joined in with one of the online events and created a zine. Some of the pupils found this very tricky but we got there and then we completed our maths stories. We all worked together to come up with some ideas of what we could put in it. Some of our ideas included going into the hall to see who the tallest pupil was, what our favourite shape was and could we make our own pattern.
P1-2 and P3-4 joined in with Collie Tales which was very exciting and the pupils loved seeing what they had been up to. We also joined in with ‘Super Questers’ and this was a great hit and we are now looking at purchasing the other books in the series.
P1-2 made number pictures as you can see from the pictures. They all concentrated very hard and worked well to complete them.
P5-7 joined in with a live escape room and had great fun.
Community Bonfire Night Guys

Maths week
This week is amazing maths week. Our teachers gave us a couple of questions. I only got one question done! We also got a PowerPoint Quiz it was amazing.
Math Week
Math week was a good, we did a lot of activities my favourite part was when we were doing the numbers up to 12 and the butterfly. I enjoyed that was a good day after my mum came to pick us up from school we showed her our numbers up to 12 and the butterfly it definitely was the best day of my life.
P5-7 trip to the cosmic gardens of speculations
This term p5-7 went on a class trip to to the cosmic gardens of speculation. We had a great time doing team activities all day and seeing all the cool and slightly peculiar. We found out so much from our guide Wendy. She was very helpful and we saw the snail mound, the bumpy hill and the bridge to nowhere. We saw a lot more and then we went back home.
Maths Week
Last week was maths week. Our teacher gave us some extremely difficult questions.
