Watch and learn how one of our pupils was inspired during our science and technology week.
Why not try some of the experiments for yourself !

House Technology Challenge
The children were all involved in a House challenge during Science & Technology Week. P1 and P2 children used lego to build a futuristic car and demonstrated how they could make it move using a remote control. P3-7’s challenge was to create a model which would have a moving part, powered by a motor and a solar panel.
Visit to Faskine Farm
P1-4 visited a local farm to visit the chicks that they had hatched in school a few months ago. The have now grown into hens and are producing eggs of their own.  We enjoyed the Autumn walk and the chance to see the cattle. Our highlight of the visit was the opportunity  to sit in the big red tractor !
I can explore examples of food chains and show an appreciation of how animals and plants depend on each other for food.

Digital Surveying
Mr John Smith visited the school during our Science & Technology week. He showed P5/6/7 how to use digital surveying equipment and talked about how this technology is used in many careers.
By exploring technologies in everyday life, learners will begin to understand the extent and significance of technological developments in society.
Planetarium Visit
Our science & technology week got off to a flying start today with a visit from ThinkScience ! John brought along an inflatable planetarium to help us learn more about the stars in our night sky.
Learners develop their understanding of the Earth’s position within the universe while developing a sense of time and scale.
