On Wednesday 29th of February, P5 visited Tongland Hydroelectric Plant to learn about hydroelectric power sources. We were shown around the station and saw the generators in use. We were then taken to the reservoir where we got to walk over the dam’s wall. our tour guide opened the flood gates which showed us the full power of the river. We all had a wonderful time and learned a lot about the construction of dams and how they work.
Primary 1 celebrated World Book Day in style. All of the children looked fantastic in their costumes.

P3/2 and P5 had some shared reading time yesterday for World Book Day.
Pupils came dressed as characters from their favourite books yesterday. Teachers went with a Harry Potter theme. Everyone looked amazing – well done!
On Thursday 27th of March it was World Book Day. P4/3 had a fairy tale investigation with Miss Bell and then logged in to Get Epic (a reading website) during our ICT time. Once our profiles were set up we decided what sort of books we would like to read and were amazed at all the choices there are. You can even get the computer to read your book to you!
Later on we watched and listened to the poet Michael Rosen who made us all laugh!
We climbed Screel the first day and went for tea at Scottish Pantry. On Day 2 we orienteered and mountain biked. The pupils were brilliant as were the Outdoor Ed instructors Alex, Ian and Mike. A big thank you from Miss Cooper & Miss Stewart to Miss O’Farrell and Eve’s mum for their help on the trip.
A huge thank you to the Parent Council for funding the recent Glasgow Science Centre outreach event. It was a fantastic experience for pupils and staff.
P1 had a fantastic time when Glasgow Science Centre came to visit.
What a wonderful experience Bodyworks on Tour was for the children. they enjoyed a presentation about the digestive system (yuck factor of course!) and then took part in a variety of interactive workshops such as memory challenges, body heat cameras and 3D puzzles. Thank you to Mrs Boyd and the Parent Council.
On Wednesday 27th of February we had a visit from the Glasgow Science Centre. We heard a fascinating talk about the digestive system and the journey our food takes through our body. We loved volunteering to help with the demonstrations! Look how long your intestines are!
Later we had a hands-on workshop about many different aspects of the body. Our particular favourites were the thermal imaging camera and screen, multi-tasking speed test and 3D body part jigsaws.
