Primary 4 went on their trip to Vikingar in Largs.

The pupils were able to dress up in the original clothing that some Vikings wore, they were also allowed to wear Viking armour like chainmail.

They also explored ways in which the Vikings cooked and what their diet consisted of such as porridge and fish.

Primary 5/6 also visited the Science centre,

The pupils explored a 3d house where they walked around moving the house making it difficult for them to stay balanced and on their own feet. They also explored energy and different ways of making energy through renewable ways.

The pupils watched a Tesla coil where the scientist puts a metal rod on top of it creating lightning strike.

Primary 7 went on their school trip recently to the Glasgow Science Centre.

During their trip they explored creating energy with a hamster wheel, The pupils were to run as fast as they can inside the wheel which created energy to fill up a bar all the way to the top before you could stop.

The pupils also completed an activity on an x-ray bike. The pupils were to cycle on a bike whilst it took a x-ray of them showing their bones moving whilst they cycled.

Primary 7 had a great time.

On Friday 17th of March Hillhead Primary school celebrated Red Nose Day 2023.

Pupils wore their best red clothing throughout the day and completed some red nose day tasks. All classes followed the Red Nose Day theme of Mr Men and Little Miss by creating their own Mr Men or Little Miss character.

Some classes also completed an additional task of creating their own red nose. All work completed was handed into to Miss Quinn’s classroom where the media committee chose a couple of examples to include in this post.

Finally, as a school we raised a huge £94.83!!

Well done Hillhead Primary School.
