What a busy day! This afternoon Primary 6 were experimenting with BBC Microbits. The children had fun programming their micro bits to count their steps.
During the lesson the children used block code to program. They also managed to adapt their code in order to improve their “Fitbits”.
The children also put their maths skills to the test when they made watch straps in order to support their Microbits.
Primary 6 have been invited to enter the Kilmaurs Photography Clubs annual photograph competition in March. This year the theme is “Our Town” and as you can imagine the children had lots of ideas about the areas they wanted to capture to show Dunlop off at its best.
We were very fortunate that Mrs Cooley was able to come into school to offer us all some advice on how to capture that perfect picture. I now have the huge task on trying to narrow down the huge selection of pictures down in order for the class to select their 6 favourite images.
Thank you so much to all our visitors for coming along on Monday afternoon to join in our Scotland Fortnight learning experiences.
The children enjoyed working on their PowerPoints and sharing their knowledge with you. The ‘toories’ were tricky but the results are fab and the children are proud of their efforts. You can see some of our finished ‘tartan tammies’ in the picture.
Sorry I couldn’t be there but thank you to Mrs Nouillan for her support.
Well done to Mr & Mrs Milligan and Mrs C. Young for being joint winners of my Scottish Dialect Challenge scoring 9 out of 13. Yay! 🙂
