In maths we have been working on solving speed, distance and time calculations.
We created our own activities, measured the distances, timed how long it took us to complete each activity and then we were able to calculate our different speeds.
We developed our collaborating, creativity, sense making and problem solving skills.

Science in Primary 6/7
Primary 6/7 have been enjoying a STEM challenge. We made volcanoes and exploded them.
We used a plastic bottle to create the main vent to explode the lava. We used washing up soap, vinegar, bicarbonate soda, warm water and food colouring.
Primary 7 went to Dumfries High School to carry out some science activities. We were learning all about dissolving and the best temperatures for substances to dissolve. We used different chemicals and got to try different science equipment. We really enjoyed it and can’t wait to go back. We developed our collaborating, critical thinking and focussing skills.
