P7 Young Digital Leaders are leading an after-school group for P4 children. They are teaching them lots of different coding activities.

P7 had great fun on the scooters this week!

We have been working hard on developing our skills at solving algebraic equations.

We then applied these skills when working with a partner to create our own game.

We had fun playing these games in the class.

These games were very fun and creative and it tested me with my algebra knowledge.- Reuben

To make these games we had to be very creative and confident with algebra – Sonny

It was really fun and challenging learning to make our game and play other people’s games. – Moaz

Today Primary 7 developed their creativity and technology skills. They transferred their knowledge and understanding of the water cycle into making a short animation to share this.

P7 had great fun creating their own African dance while working in groups! Click the link below to have a look.

Ella has been chosen to represent Heathhall Primary as our Queen of the South Attendant this year.

Well done Ella and Good Luck for the big day!

We had a number of children in upper Primary take part in the Regional Badminton Competition.

Well done to all involved!

Primary 7 had a great trip to Glasgow Science Centre on Thursday 16th February. We got to try lots of different practical activities and learn how different things work.

We also got to watch a special show called Bodyworks which explained how the different body systems worked!

We all really enjoyed the day!

On Wednesday 1st February the Royal Navy came to carry out STEM challenges with different classes. There were 3 different activities for us to try. – Iona

For one of the activities we used iPads to programme little mechanical balls called Spheros. We made them move in different directions and spin really quickly! They also lit up with animations we could choose.  This helped us develop our programming skills. It was really interesting.- Moaz

Another activity involved us working with hydraulics. We worked in pairs to see how quickly we could build a sequence of pipes for air to pass through. This then powered a pump. We had to see were stronger than air! We developed our teamwork skills. I thought it was really fun and challenging! – Leah

The final activity was to create a circuit. This was to allow electricity to pass through in order to make a propeller fly.  The bigger the circuit had the lower the propeller would fly and the smaller the circuit was the higher the propeller would fly. We developed our problem solving and creativity skills. I thought it was hard but also really fun! – Jailyn
