St Ninian's Chatterbox

Today Primary 7 took part at Maxwelltown High School in a class about metal work. The teachers Mr Drummond and Mr Pagan gave a demonstration about how to make a copper domino key-ring. We were all very good at it but my domino key-ring didn’t turn out right because the drill wouldn’t go right through, because my mark wasn’t big enough.

I chose the numbers 6 and 3 because I thought it would look really effective. At the end of the day all of the domino key-rings looked really great. Thank you Mr Drummond and Mr Pagan for taking your time to help us to make the brilliant copper domino key-rings. It was great using the equipment (like a center punch, a hack saw, a drill, sanding paper, and safety goggles).

In science club we have been investigating fingerprints and how the police use finger prints to help solve crimes. We held normal drinking glasses to create fingerprints on the surface and then gently dusted very fine cocoa powder over them to make the our prints visible. It was amazing what we saw through a magnifying glass. Who knows, we may have some Crime Scene Investigators of the future here at St Ninian’s.
