The Busby Football Team were outstanding on Wednesday evening, winning every game against Carolside, St. Joseph’s and Netherlee, without even conceding a goal! Well done, boys! We are now second in the league.
On day 2, we had a visit from ‘The Science Boffin’. She developed pupils’ understanding of extreme weather conditions. There were class visits to the library and several classes enjoyed finding out about ‘light graffiti’. Several classes explored the Science behind sport with Lesley, our Active Sports Co-ordinator.
The children enjoyed the first day of the STEM week. Alex the Magician demonstrated the Science behind the magic. P6 pupils used the microscopes to investigate a variety of cells and parents led workshops on DNA and engineering. Everyone is looking forward to day 2!
Next week we are holding our annual STEM week. All the children are looking forward to exploring and experimenting. Our Science Fayre will be on Friday the 28th March from 1.30pm. Please come along and try out some of the workshops for yourself. Click here for further details of next week’s events. We would like to thank the Parent Council for supporting us to put on many of these events.
