Primary 3.1 used their experience of the Rio Olympics and Paralympics as a stimulus to create a collage. They were also being Eco friendly by using recycled paint and old containers.
They made silhouette paintings of a variety of sports from both the Olympics and Paralympics. Can you guess each sport?
Liam – The Roving Reporter
Siona – It was fun painting. Jamie – I really liked the real Olympics. Fraser – We kept getting the paint all over the table so we had to be careful. Zaid – I liked painting.
” I was teaching P1 about my product”. Thalia Stewart
” I am showing P1 my invention”. Oliver Rissmann
Jamie explaining how his robot recycles rubbish.
” I was showing my cousin my invention. She was asking questions and I was answering them. Robo Bird collects rubbish from the ground and puts it in the bin by pooping it out!” Finlay Macdonald
The Science Centre – Learning across stages!
” I was practising inventions” Olivia Mason
Lucy McAllister “I was explaining what it says on the poster and what my invention does”.
“I was practising how to talk about my invention.” Sarah McKenzie
“My invention took ten minutes to make. It picks up litter and munches it up and makes it into LEGO!” Oliver Rissmann
Robo Bird
Siona Sircar” My invention helps the environment”.
” My invention recycles food waste into new food for poor people” Millie Taggart
Arlo Barsanti ” This is Roger the Rubbish Robot but he is not really rubbish! The rubbish is sucked up the arms…………………….
Thalia Stewart ” This is a Bird and Bees B and B. The solar panels catch the energy from the sun and warm up the earth so that worms and flowers can live. Then the birds and bees will have food to eat. That is how it helps the environment”
” I made a model and a poster” Daisy McLean
Daisy McLean ” It is called the Clean Clean Machine. It sucks the bad and makes flowers………
Sarah Sneddon ” I made a pollution Pump. It takes polluted air and turns it into cheap electricity. I helps the environment and poor people.”
“My machine recycles paper, plastic and glass and turns it into seeds for the birds.” Blair Mann
Jamie McFarlane “This is Muncher the Environment Friendly Robot. He is solar powered and recycles bad air to make clean air. He recycles.”
Olivia Andrews “This is The Marvellous Bin. It sucks up the things and I was going to make a remote control too. It means you only need one bin and it helps the environment.”
Ben Casey” This is Ben’s Bag for Life. I made it with an old top. It has handles. I decorated it with bottle tops. It helps the environment because you don’t have plastic bags.”
James Malcolm-Blyth “The Litter Fighting Machine goes round the streets picking up litter and switching off lights. I made a model and a poster.”
“The Tap Timer. Why not get one for your home? It helps the environment because it stops you wasting water. You can turn it from 1 up to 5 and it stops the tap from running.” Lucy McAllister
Sophia Barclay “I made a solar powered litter collector. The balloons help it float. The water gets sucked up the pipe and the litter gets trapped. I was going to make a remote control like Olivia’s to make it come back to be emptied. It helps the environment because it helps the rivers, seas and oceans.”
We had a visit from Andy from SSPCA. ” We were learning about wild animals. 03000 999 999 is the number you call if an animal needs help”. Sarah McKenzie & Mia Lafferty

Primary 2 have been learning about important inventions and how they affect people and the environment.
We have been listening and watching for useful information. We have taken notes and made books for the class library about John Logie Baird and Alexander Graham Bell. We will be researching more inventors and their inventions………….
We have planned a trip to the Science Centre in April.
Primary 2 have accepted a challenge to invent something that will help fix an environmental problem. All designs, presentations and patents are due on 10th March………………………………..

We got to hold a snake.
the snake was cold, scaly and heavy.
Most of us put the snake around our neck.
The flat tailed gecko was tickly.
We had to be quiet when we held it.
The hissing cockroach was tickly too.
Soft play was great fun.
Thank you to all our helpers who got a well deserved coffee break.
