MABEY FUN ENGINEERING AT GREENFAULDS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the last few months, we have been working with Mabey FUN Engineering on the Mabey STEM Education Initiative.\u00a0 Our learners have worked through a series of challenges, learing loads about engineering through using Lego.\u00a0 We’ve been building different types of pulleys and working out how their load is worked out, learning about and building different types of bridges and looking at alternative power sources.\u00a0 We’ve had to use Maths skills we didn’t know we had!<\/p>\n

Our thanks go Billy McCormick, Engneering Manager at Mabey for choosing us for this pilot scheme.<\/p>\n

We are looking forward to building on our partnership next year.<\/p>\n

S3 CORE SKILLS AND ACHIEVE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The S3 Core Skills and Achieve class got together and organised and completed a Sponsored Walk up Meikle Bin in April. The money they raised funded an end of year trip for them. On thursday 14th June, both classes attended Sumerlee museum, where they got a trip on a tram and went down the mine. Afterwards we worked on our team skills at the bowling alley, before enjoying a lunch at Pizza Hut. We ended the day by orienteering at Drumpeillier Park.<\/p>\n
