Welcome to the Discovery Zone

The Discovery Zone is an exciting and unique opportunity for our pupils to dive into the world of S.T.E.M. and build essential skills for their future career paths. Here, learners work collaboratively across stages, from Primary 4 to Primary 7, and engage in a range of differentiated activities. It’s fantastic to see how our pupils come together, sharing ideas and knowledge, while fostering a spirit of teamwork and innovation.

Throughout their time in the Discovery Zone, pupils truly embody our school values: Ambition, Resilience, Respect, Fairness, and Nurture. They demonstrate ambition as they tackle challenging tasks, resilience when faced with setbacks, and respect for each other’s contributions. Fairness shines through in their collaborative efforts, and nurturing relationships are fostered as they support one another’s learning journeys.

All of this incredible learning is documented on Seesaw, allowing both pupils and parents to celebrate achievements and progress together. It’s a joy to witness how our pupils are not only enhancing their S.T.E.M. knowledge but are also developing vital life skills that will set them up for success in the world of work!

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

What our staff say:

“This is an invaluable asset to Corsehill regarding STEM. The kids can learn to be independent, ambitious and support each other in their learning.” – 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.
