Primary 7 attended the STEM centre at Dumfries House to learn about renewable energy. The pupils were able to create their own turbines to create energy! Look at the fun we had.

Primary 3 – STEM Shoebox Challenge
Primary 3 have been working on a STEM shoebox challenge – to construct a moving model vehicle. The overall aim of the challenge is for the model to move as far as it can and as straight as it can down a ramp. We had to design, create, construct and make adaptions to our models. This project has helped us to develop a wide range of skills and introduced us to the concept of engineering. Here are some pictures to show us in action!
Primary 3 – Emergency One
Today, Primary 3 visited Emergency One. This visit was to help us to learn more about People At Work and in particular, to help us with our shoebox STEM project. Today we got to see how fire engines are constructed. We were able to see the bodies, chassis, insides, tools used and the staff busy at work. Our favourite parts were getting to go outside and use the water hose, turning on the blue flashing lights, sitting inside the fire engine and hearing the sirens. Here are just a few pictures of our visit.
WINNERS of the Ayrshire Regional STEM Club of the Year!
We are very happy to announce that the Clever Cogs afterschool club won the Ayrshire Regional STEM Club of the Year! We won a trophy, certificate and £200 to be spent on STEM resources for the school. In June we will be attending the National finals in Glasgow. This is a great achievement! We are so proud of all of the boys and girls in the club, and their parents for their support.
The Clever Cogs – Regional STEM Celebration Event
Today, a team of the Clever Cogs afterschool’s technology group went to Dumfries House to compete in the Regional STEM Celebration Event. They showcased their learning in a short presentation to a team of judges and shared their work to other schools from across all of Ayrshire.
The Clever Cogs team took part in lots of different STEM experiments and found out about different careers in this field of work.
We all had lots of fun and learned some new (and really cool) stuff!
