Glasgow Science Centre

Today we visited the Science Centre and were lucky enough to discover all 3 floors, as well as watch a movie in the IMAX theatre all about the journey to space.

“Testing my sprinting speed.”

“There were 8 pads on the floor, 4 each. We had a dance battle and had to bounce up and down to earn points. Whoever has the most by the end of the time won.”

“This was really sore on my legs because you had to jump about for so long!”

“We had to grab the metal part and spin it and it would make a windmill.”

“It was very interesting trying to find out what the objects were by just using touch.”

“We had to carefully place the blocks at a certain angle to make a freestanding archway.”

“It was an amazing day going to the Science Centre.” (Matthew & Finn).

“It was a lot of fun learning about all things science and how things work.” (Benjamin)

“It was a super fun day and hopefully we can go back again.” (Rose)

Rugby

“We warmed up by playing tig. If you were touched by the rugby ball, you had to put your hands in the air and someone has to give you a ‘high 10’ to set you free.” – Matthew

“We were put into teams of 3 and were given one minute to make as many successful passes as we could. You had to have your hands in the W shape to receive the ball.” – Rose

“In the games, we had to pass the rugby ball 5 times to get a point. For a challenge, we had to pass to each player in the team to earn a point at the end of the lesson.” – Calum

A Visit from Eastwood’s Science Ambassadors

This week, we were lucky to have some senior pupils from Eastwood deliver a lesson on ‘Space and the Solar System’ to our class.

We learned lots of new information and were able to get a feel for how small we really are in planet Earth in comparison to other planets around us.

We learned about mnemonics and got to make our own to help us remember the order of the planets. Take a look!

We then got to create our own planet, thinking about what we know about planets to help us describe it.

We also got to play some fun games and take part in activities.

 

Thank you to the Eastwood Ambassadors!
