On Thursday 22nd November, SLC3 travelled up to Glasgow to visit the Cocoa Bean Factory as part of their topic on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The pupils had a brilliant time and were able to make lots of different types of chocolate to take home. They learned how to make chocolate in different shaped moulds, decorated chocolate bars and made marshmallow men!
Later, the pupils learned about where chocolate comes from and got to touch and grind real cocoa beans.
Today SLC3 have been learning more about computer coding. Today they learnt how to use loop blocks to make their algorithms shorter and tidier.
SLC 3 have been learning about electricity in class. As part of this topic, they visited the STEM building at Dumfries House. They explored electrical circuits and were able to work together to create different types of circuits. Later in the day, the pupils worked in teams to create a vacuum cleaner that could suck up confetti left over from a party. The class were also lucky enough to get lots of time to explore the outdoors in the STEM water park.

SLC3 were excited to start their new computer coding topic in ICT today. They enjoyed building their algorithms to play an online game and progress through the levels. They are sure to be coding champions in no time!
Over the past term, two pupils from SLC 3 have been working with pupils from Hillside school and Drake music on a project which finished with a performance at Cumnock Academy on Friday 29th September. The two boys thoroughly enjoyed their time learning how to use the different musical technology and taking part in the performance. They really did their school proud!
