Super Scientists in Primary 6
We have been investigating the properties of water. We carried out an experiment to find out how long it took hot and cold water to freeze.
We have also been learning about the parts of a flower and today we dissected a flower to look more closely at the male and female parts of the flower to understand the flower’s life cycle.
The Water Cycle Investigations
Primary 6 have been learning all about the Water Cycle. Here are our experiments from today on investigating evaporation and the Water Cycle.
Fire Safety Talk
Primary 5-7 took part in a presentation from the local Fire Station on Fire Related Anti-Social Behaviour.
They learned about ways they can be safe and avoid being caught up in anti-social behaviour related to starting fires.
SSPCA
The Primary 1 – 3 children took part in an assembly about caring for animals and the children from Primary 4 – 7 had the opportunity to take part in a workshop within their classes.

Super Scientists
Today Primary 6 turned into Scientists. They were learning about the Digestive System and their taste buds.
They carried out an experiment to find out what type of ‘taster’ they were by counting the fungiform papile on their tongues. Most children were ‘Tasters’ as the had between 6 -10 fungiform papile in the section that was counted.
Primary 6 Transition
Primary 6 finished their last session at St Maurice’s High School today as part of the Transition Programme. Over the past three weeks, they have been working hard with Mr McConnell from the Technical Department to make a ‘Maths Game’, filing down their plastic and marking out it correctly.
Perfect Pancakes
Mrs McLennan, Miss Robertson and Miss Wilson were not as adventurous or confident in their pancake making skills as the Nursery today so they brought in ‘shop bought’ pancakes for the children.
Fun Times in Primary 6
Primary 6 have had a busy day! This morning, we went to St Maurice’s High School to visit the Technical Department as part of our Transition programme. We had a great morning and look forward to our further visits over the next three weeks.
This afternoon we complete out model Spitfire aeroplanes. We have started to plan how we can use them with our Anderson Shelters to create a short film on The Blitz as part of our ICT and Technology.
