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!
Today Primary 3 enjoyed a visit to Emergency One. This was an opportunity for us to extend our STEM knowledge and learn about how vehicles are really made. We got to see the production line for ourselves, including the shell and the chassis of the fire engines. Elliot, our guide, showed us all around the factory and we were even able to sit in a fire engine. We are now going to take this learning forward as we continue to construct our own model vehicles.
As part of our STEM learning, Primary 3 enjoyed a visit from a local engineer called Mr Burns. Mr Burns came to class to help support the pupils to construct the chassis of their shoebox models. This involved lots of estimating, measuring, using tools and perseverance. Thank you to Mr Burns for coming to help us to learn.
As part of our Earth and Beyond learning, Primary 3 completed a personal project at home. They had 2 options to choose from – construct the Saturn V model that was part of the Apollo 11 mission, or to research and create a poster about the Apollo 11 mission. They had 2 weeks to complete their project. Miss Edwards was delighted with their work and would like to thank all their families/adults who supported with this.
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.
