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!
STEM event and Glasgow Clyde College
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.
Ice Cream Parlour!
Today we ran an ice cream parlour. In total we sold 60 ice creams and made £30. We made a profit of £10.80 and enjoyed it very much. The most popular ice cream was mint choc chip. We will run it again and will hopefully make more profit as this is going towards our leavers do.

Scones with Mrs Paterson
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!
Maths week outdoor learning
For maths week Primary 6/7 went outdoors to find sticks and created their very own 3D shapes!
WW2 Homework projects
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.
3D shapes!
The triangles have been learning about the properties of 3D shapes. They came together and created their own game which involved matching the 3D shape to its net.
Digital Media
We have been learning to use Microbits. These help us to learn about coding and programming. Primary 7s have been supporting the 6s when necessary and so far we are able to code letters to make our name appear on the screen in lights. This is helping us with our problem solving skills as we only have a website and instructions for help and we are resisting the temptation to ask the teacher for help. 
This term we will also be exploring Yammer and finding out how we can use this as a tool to communicate effectively and safely with our peers.
