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.

 

Red Nose Day 2023

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.

School garden ready for new session

We used our time over lock-down as wisely as we could and, whilst remaining safe and social distancing, staff were still able to bring our fantastic garden area up to date.

A huge thankyou to members of the community who offered their time and resources to help transform our garden. A big thank you to Lakeside Landscapes for their huge donations of bark and weed control fabric as well as the parents and carers who donated the paint.

Looking after this area will be an ongoing job and we will be in touch shortly looking for a group from the community who may be able to lend a hand in know-how and labour!

P6-Spaghetti and Marshmallow Challenge

As part of our Natural Disasters topic, we created buildings from spaghetti and marshmallow that we hoped could withstand a ‘table-shaking’ earthquake. Each team had a budget and each item had a price so we had to think carefully about the materials we needed. Our project Manager was responsible for the materials, the Treasurer was responsible for the budget, the Architect designed our structure and the Technology Director did the research. Afterwards, we tried out our structures to see if they could withstand an earthquake!
