Last Wednesday, 21 P6 pupils from our feeder Primary schools competed in cluster stage of the 2013 K’Nex Challenge, run as part of the Glasgow Science Festival. In pairs, the pupils had to design and build a bridge that fulfilled several challenging criteria.

The winning pupils were Reece McKay and James Nicol from Netherlee Primary school and you can see their excellent bridge below. Reece and James will now go on to represent the cluster in the area final during May.

Other pictures of the event can be found HERE.

A huge thanks to all of the pupils from the three schools, as well as their teachers, for making it a superb afternoon!

S1 pupils have now finished their S1 rotations and have started their S2 topics. As part of the S1 Cells topics, classes are given a homework task to design a model of either a plant or animal cell, using items found in their homes. A gallery of some of the best models can be found HERE.

As part of our exciting Scientists at Work unit in S2, pupils are given a homework task to design a building. A gallery of some of the best ones is now available by clicking the link below.
