This week, we enjoyed a trip to Ayr Beach, taking in the views while treating ourselves to an ice cream and some chippy chips.
We also visited Kelvin Hall, where we learned about the history of animation by exploring Victorian inventions like stereoscopes, zoetropes and magic lantern projectors. We then got creative by making our own thaumatropes and zoetrope strips to see how moving images were created.
Another week filled with new experiences, creativity and lots of fun!
We’ve wrapped up the first week of our Summer Programme, and it’s been a fantastic start! We have had a brilliant time exploring the Riverside Museum and enjoying visits to Pollok Park and the Burrell Collection.
If you’d like to join us for next week’s activities, there’s still time to get involved. Simply complete our Microsoft Form using the link below, and we’ll be in touch.

A group of our new S4 Physics pupils recently attended the All-Energy Exhibition and Conference at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow, who were celebrating their 25th anniversary. During the visit, pupils took part in a range of STEM tabletop activities within the Skill Zone and enjoyed the exciting Hydrogen Racing challenge delivered by Glasgow Science Centre. They also had the opportunity to engage with a wide variety of exhibitors and industry vendors, learning more about renewable energy, sustainability, and future careers in science and engineering.
