Glasgow Science Centre fun! – Portpatrick Primary

On Thursday 6th November, our P5–7 pupils set off on an exciting adventure to the Glasgow Science Centre for a full day of hands-on learning and fun! They were joined by their Partnership friends from St. Joseph’s RC. Primary.🚌✨

When we arrived, we were amazed by the Science Mall – three floors of fascinating exhibits and experiments waiting to be explored. Pupils investigated everything from forces and motion to sound, light, and space, all while discovering how science connects with our everyday world. 💡

Some highlights from our day included:

BodyWorks, where we learned how the human body works, tested our reaction times, and explored our incredible senses.
Powering the Future, where we discovered how energy is created and how we can build a more sustainable world.
A Question of Perception, where optical illusions and light experiments tested our brains and eyes!
Outer Space (Space Zone), where we journeyed through the Solar System and imagined life as astronauts.

We also had time to explore the outdoor exhibits and enjoy lunch together.

To end the day, we relaxed in the IMAX Theatre to watch an awe-inspiring Space film, learning about rockets, astronauts, and the future of space travel. 🌌🪐 The enormous screen made us feel as though we were soaring through the stars!

Everyone had an amazing day, full of curiosity, laughter, and learning. It was a brilliant experience that brought our classroom science to life and inspired many of us to think like scientists of the future! 🔭💫

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the trip possible — it was a fabulous day of teamwork, discovery, and fun! 💛
