WHO TOOK PART IN OUR ZOO LAB WORKSHOP LAST WEEK.

WE HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THE WORKSHOP AS MUCH AS WE DID!

1H1 have been working on their employability skills this week by creating their own Plague Cure product.

Each group had a budget in which to create and advertise their product which they then had to take to the Boardroom and present the Sir Alan Sugar (Miss Donnelly) who would then decide which product to invest in.

The groups had to keep track of spending and predict potential profit. 1H1 battled it out with all singing and all dancing adverts (Literally) with Blem’s Plague Cure being announced the winning group!

Congratulations to all groups for their amazing efforts! Well Done 1H1!

On Friday 17th November, 46 S3 Geography pupils travelled to Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh to take part in the UnEarthed Science event. Pupils began the day with a tour of Dynamic Earth where they were able to learn about Our Earth, earthquakes, volcanoes, glaciation and biomes.

Pupils then took part in the UnEarthed Science event and were able to speak to various scientists and geologists on the day. A great day was had by all pupils #GeographyInAction #Science #STEM #DSYW

Well done to all pupils
