P7 have been making their own robots. Using simple circuits, bottle caps and pens along with a motor we have made a robot that can make scribble marks. We are calling them scribble bots.

As part of the trip to the science centre we have been learning about life on other planets and how to detect life. We did an experiment to see if we could find life using yeast and sugar.  Can you guess which cup had the yeast in it?

P7 have started their posters for campaigning for house captain. Look out for them around the school next week! Voting will be on Friday.

Primary 6 have been learning about the structure and function of their sensory organs.  This week we identified parts of the ear and made a clay model.

Primary 6  had a fantastic visit to the Scottish Parliament. They were shown around by MSP Paul O’Kane. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their visit and left with a fountain of new knowledge about the history, work and daily life within the Scottish Parliament to add to their class topic.

Paul was great at guiding the pupils around in a fun and informative manner whilst answering their questions.

The pupils’ behaviour, manners and respect at the Scottish Parliament was commented on from various members of staff. Well done Primary 6!

I’m sure there will now be some aspiring MSP’s and possibly the future First Minister amongst them!!

Primary 6 have been investigating chemical reactions and identifying the different signs of a reaction.  The can identify reversable and irreversible reactions.
