Kirkhill Primary (P6b)

Last week we participated in the East Renfreshire K’Nex Challenge. We had to build a bridge using K’Nex but it had to meet the following criteria:

•      Be at least 19cm high (the height of a grey K’Nex rod)
•  Be at least 30cm long (the length of a standard ruler)
•  Have a strong robust structure to stand on its own.
•  Be able to support the weight of a small bottle of water.
•  Be able to open to allow tall river vessels to pass through safely.

At the end we had a secret vote to choose which one we thought met the specifications best. We chose Sean and Gordon’s – well done boys! They will now go forward to the next heat where they will compete with children from other schools. Good Luck 🙂

Here are the final three designs:

This was Shekina’s and Sophie’s, it made it to the final three!

 

 

 

Euan and Ryaan’s was a very close second!

The children have been presenting their science projects this morning. There have been posters, models and powerpoints of modes of transport that people may use in the future.

Very impressive work indeed! Well done P5b!

 

After our Christmas Market we decided we would like to donate some of our profits to a charity. We had a vote and we decided on the Make A Wish Foundation. We were delighted to receive this certificate in the post today 🙂

The children love choosing what to do for Friday Fun.

Here we have…

Recently the children made keyrings with the resources they bought with our Enterprise money. More fun crafts to come.

Have a lovely weekend!
