Primary 6 Parents
We would love you to come along to our class assembly on Friday 15th June at 9.50 am. We hope you can make it.
On Monday 27th Primary 6 visited Ayrshire College’s aeronautical department to learn some more information about flight.
Some pupils managed to try to take off/fly/land a plane in the flight simulator. A wind tunnel let us understand thrust and drag. We learned about different parts of the plane and the composite materials that make up the outside of the aircraft. We even got to sit in a Bulldog!
Primary 6 can you bring a piece of cardboard in to help with our Christmas crafts please.
Thank you.
This morning we attended a maths roadshow as part of STEM fortnight. There were lots of fantastic interactive challenges. Some of them really made us think and others really challenged our patience and perseverance.
STEM
Base 4 are very lucky to have Mrs Cameron ( who works at Spirit) coming in over the next 2 weeks to work on a series of lessons based on flight . Yesterday we found out about drag, thrust, lift and weight and why they are all needed to make a plane fly. We made some tricky paper aeroplanes and had fun getting them to fly.
We are looking forward to Mrs Cameron returning on Thursday for more experiments.
On Tuesday straight after lunch P6 were given a visit by Microsoft to teach us all about Microbits and coding. We were given a USB cable, a battery pack and a microbit chip. We went onto a website called Microsoft Make Code and clicked on the first option which was Microbit. On the simulator we were taught how to code pictures onto our microbit and if we plugged in the USB it appeared on the chip. First we learnt how to code a heart shape that flashed in the centre as a basic of code. Then we were allowed to create our own pictures on the simulator. And for a challenge we had to code a game of rock paper scissors on our chips. After that we could make as many pictures on the microbits we wanted for the last couple of minutes. All of P6 would like to give a huge thanks for Microsoft and the teachers from St Mungo’s High School and all the people at Microsoft. We really enjoyed playing with the microbits.
