Building upon their success at the local competition, today Isla K and Danielle in P3 and Tyler and Kasey in P6 took part in the West of Scotland Primary Engineer Regional Final Competition. We are delighted to announce that Isla K and Danielle were judged WINNERS at Apprentice Level 2 and Tyler and Kasey won for BEST THEMED. Well done everyone, we are so proud! Here are some photos of our day.
To help us to learn more about minibeasts, we set pit-fall traps. We then went outside to observe and analyse the traps and see what we had caught. Have a look below to see us building our traps and observing them 24 hours later.
As part of our minibeasts IDL, Primary 3 decided to plant seeds and see if we could attract minibeasts to our flowers. We are excited to watch our seeds develop and observe the minibeasts that visit!
Every year, we participate in the Primary Engineer Leaders Award for STEM. This competition asks the question “if you were an engineer in Scotland, what would you invent and why?”. This year, thousands of children across Scotland took part and we are delighted that Finlay Gordon in Primary 2 has been judged an overall winner. Finlay will now be invited to attend a prize giving ceremony at the Barony Hall in Glasgow on 2nd June where he will be presented with his trophy alongside the other 11 winners for Scotland. Congratulations Finlay – we are all so proud of you!
Primary 3 have been making the most of this sunny weather by going outdoors to search for and identify minibeasts. We have been searching in different habitats – on bark, under rocks, on plants and in the air. We found most minibeats in the long grass and under rocks. Our next step is to classify them according to whether they are insects or not.
