P4 had a great time learning all about the reproductive parts of a flower. They really enjoyed wearing their lab coats and using the microscopes to look at each part of the flower closely. Here are some great photos from their science experiment!

Primary 3 – Minibeast Hunts
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.
P6 – STEM Challenge (Wiring Update)
We have now successfully managed to wire our vehicles – aren’t they looking great!
The Pi Pals!
For the past 8 weeks, a small group of pupils from P4, P5, P6 and P7 have been working on a Raspberry Pi competition entry. The group (The Pi Pals) decided to create a device that could sense when the wearer was becoming annoyed and fidgeting. The Pi could pick up this signal and tell a small fan on the wearer’s wrist to turn on and blow a soothing cold breeze onto the wrist to calm down the wearer. We thought this would be a useful device for anyone who had autism, Tourette’s, or issues controlling their anger so that they could calm themselves down.
P6 Starting our STEM challenge
Today in class we were very lucky to have a STEM coordinator (Mr Hendry) visit our class to help with the initial organisation of our STEM Challenge – to design a motorised vehicle. We got to spend time working alongside Mr Hendry to design parts for our own models which will then be created on our very own 3D printer!
