A big well done to our Badminton team from Uplawmoor.
We competed in the cluster challenge and won so then we went through to the East Renfrewshire Finals, in which we came 3rd out of 7. We are very pleased with the result and had a fabulous time!
We were very lucky to have the opportunity to attend a STEM event last week. At this event we had the chance to meet people who have jobs and careers in these subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and heard all about their journeys. Glasgow Clyde college had arranged some great workshops and we had a chance to attend 3. These workshops included:
Hydrogen Fuel cells – having a chance to see how these work and creating a circuit to make a fan go on.
Robots – getting to see behind the scenes on how to program a robot.
Apps – Alexander and Scott had the chance to make their own game, which was a version of the famous ‘Flappy Bird’.
Brick Layering and weaving.
During our lunch break we also had the chance to meet different exhibitors and ask them questions about their jobs and organisations. By the end of it we learnt that there are so many options out there for future job prospects, jobs we had never even thought about.
Scott, Alexander, Beth, Cayla, Abigail and Ruby.
Ruby had told the class about Mrs Paterson’s scrumptious scones and thought it would be a great idea to get her in so that we can make them. So at the end of Maths week, Mrs Paterson kindly came in to our class to make scones with us. We had to use scales to measure the different ingredients. This was great fun and the scones turned out delicious. Thank you so much Mrs Paterson!
Primary 6/7 have worked very hard on their WW2 homework projects. They went away and picked their own subject to research and created models, PowerPoints, posters and drawings and presented them to the class. Everyone enjoyed doing this and we learnt many things from each other.
First week back at school and P6/7 have been quite busy already. We have been getting to know each other better and made our class charter. Primary 7 have been helping their buddies in Primary 1 settle in and are doing a great job. We are all looking forward to this year!
Come and visit our blog regularly to be updated with everything that is going on in P6/7.
