P5 and P5/6 had an awesome time at the Glasgow Science Centre today!
P5 have been learning about How the World Works, while P5/6 have been learning about Space.
The children visited all three floors of the Science Mall for some hands-on fun, pictured below! The children also went to the Planetarium for an excellent Space presentation – there was so much learning happening!
Let’s not forget that the day was topped off by a trip to the Gift Shop – the most important aspect of any school trip!
P6 and P7 girls had the unique experience of attending a SmartSTEM event at Strathclyde University. SmartSTEM provide equity of opportunity to young people into STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) with particular focus on the gender gap. The girls experienced Plastic Cup Challenge, workshop based around product design, manufacture and teamwork, LED workshop and Social Media Content Creation workshop. SmartSTEM interviewed those attending and this can be viewed in August on SmartSTEM TV. Hopefully this event will inspired our pupils to go forward to select one of the STEM professions for their future careers.
The following post was written by the pupils of P5:
P5 and P5/6 went to the Gurdwara on Wednesday morning last week with Mrs Munoz and Miss Rangeley. The children went to the Gurdwara to learn about Sikhism. Mr Singh and Mrs Kaur came to Rochsolloch Primary to teach the school about their religion. We decided to go so that we could find out more! We also thought that since Mr Singh and Mrs Kaur travelled to see us, we should travel to see them!
When we arrived we had to take off our shoes, put on turbans and wash our hands. People do this in the Gurdwara as a sign of respect to god. We were taken upstairs and we were fortunate enough to hear some readings from the holy scriptures. We also learned a bit more about the ‘Five Ks’ of Sikhism and we had another shot of the musical instruments we got to play when Mr Singh and Mrs Kaur visited our class.
Our hosts were willing to share with us some traditional food including: spicy naan bread and mango juice, and our teachers were even given some vegetable pakora and chickpea curry!
We really enjoyed ourselves because we were made to feel very welcome and as you can see from the pictures we had a lot of fun! Thanks to Mrs Grimson and Mrs Lawrie for accompanying us on our trip!
Last week, P5/6 and Miss Rangeley visited The Kelpies, as part of their Myths and Legends Interdisciplinary Learning Topic. A grey day couldn’t dampen the children’s spirits, and you can see from the snaps it was a terrific day out!
This topic has been an engaging and memorable one for P5/6, and this visit was a superb way to round it all off! Have a close look at some of the great artwork the class have produced during this study as well as the smiling faces of the pupils, clearly loving their day trip!
This is what we like to see P5/6!
