Welcome to the Discovery Zone

Welcome to the Discovery Zone – a dynamic learning area where curiosity leads the way! Here, pupils from Primary 5 to 7 actively engage in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) through hands-on challenges, creative exploration, and collaborative problem-solving. Designed to inspire wonder and critical thinking, the Discovery Zone nurtures lifelong learning habits such as resilience, inquiry, and adaptability.

Pupils are encouraged to take ownership of their learning, developing intrinsic motivation as they experiment, reflect, and grow. This space empowers every learner to ask questions, seek solutions, and embrace the joy of discovery in a supportive, innovative environment that celebrates effort and curiosity.

What our pupils say:

“It’s awesome! Before we would only do science once a month but now we can investigate new things everyday!” – BB, Primary 5.

“I would give it a 10/10. It’s super fun because of all the experiments we get to do. I loved learning about the digestive system and making the fake poo.” – SM, Primary 4.

“I like the Discovery Zone because you get to do cool experiments. I know I’m learning but it just feels like fun!” – SL, Primary 6.

“It’s a cool place. There is plenty of stuff to learn about. Im surprised we get to do this much science. People in other schools don’t do anywhere near as much as us!” – HF- Primary 7

“It’s just a more fun way to learn. You can do a mix of everything; literacy, numeracy, science and art. You get to work together to learn awesome things.” LF, BB, IM, ER, Primary 7.

What our staff say:

“This is an invaluable asset to Corsehill regarding STEAM. The kids can learn to be independent, ambitious and support each other in their learning.  It ensures that every child develops a love of learning while they expand their knowledge of the world” – Miss Kirkwood

“I love that I get to plan will my colleagues for a range of different learning experiences that children across the school can access. It feels really powerful when you hear young children so motivated about their learning and can see them developing their skills to solve real-life problems.” – Mr Kirk
