Abbi – My favourite part of Cumbernauld Academy was the science lab. We had a cool teacher who taught us mind-blowing chemistry.

Jessica – I enjoyed the 2.5 days we had at the high school. We did things there like Home Economics, Science and Technical. We don’t really get to do these things in primary school so I had great fun.

Joshua – At Cumbernauld Academy I enjoyed Science because we got to put magnesium over the bunsen burner and it made a very bright light. I also enjoyed making salsa in Home Economics.

Eve – I really enjoyed Tuesdays Science lesson. The teacher put gas in a bubble then made it go up in flames. It was awesome!

Cameron – At the Academy I really enjoyed Home Economics the best because I learned how dangerous chillies can be, even if they’re just oil on a chopping board.

Jack – I enjoyed Home Economics because we got to make our own salsa and then eat it.

Josh – My favourite subject was Science. I look forward to doing Technical in August.

Mitchell – I felt happy to discover that all of the teachers are nice. I also like the idea of moving from class to class.

Activity Week Memories

We had such a fun filled week during our activity week. Have a read at our memories and find out what our favourite activity was.

Kieran – My favourite activity was Airspace because it was my first time there and it was better than I expected it to be. All the bouncing was very fun! At Dynamic Earth I discovered that the earth has been through lots of stages of development and we are a tiny part of it compared to the other stages.

Ellie – On activity week my favourite activity was M and Ds. I had so much fun with my friends. Another favourite activity was Airspace, I loved that too! On the flumes at M and Ds Skye and I screamed when we went through the tunnel part. In Dynamic Earth, I learned how the earth was created.

Jessica – Activity week was great but my favourite activities were Airspace and M and Ds. At Airspace I learned new tricks and had great fun. At M and Ds I went on some rides and had great fun there too! At the zoo I increased my knowledge as I learned about animals I had never heard of and learned the different things that endanger them.

Mitchell – On activity week my favourite activity was Airspace because it let me do my most favourite thing, jumping. Airspace is very creative at how it makes games like dodgeball onto trampolines. I also learned during my activity week that pandas mainly just eat and sleep.

Emma – My favourite activity was M and Ds because I really like going on rides at theme parks. I also really enjoyed Airspace because it was fun. I now know how to light a fire and that male pandas only have a girlfriend for one day a year.

Abi – My favourite activities were Airspace and M and Ds, although Monday was very fun and improved my knowledge of  Parliament and how the earth was created. On Thursday at M and Ds and Airspace everyone was smiling and having a blast! The activity week altogether was AMAZING!

Jack – My two favourite activities were M and Ds and Airspace, well Airspace was my favourite because there was lots of stuff to do, the big air bag, football and dodgeball. I learned how the earth was created.

Skye – My favourite day was Thursday when we went to M and Ds and Airspace. These were my favourite because I love rides and jumping around on trampolines. Also when I was in the zoo I learned that all of the grey squirrels are eating all of the red ones.

Eve – My favourite activities were M and Ds and Airspace, the sleepover and the den building with Ian. I loved M and Ds because I went on Space for the first time, I LOVED it! I really liked the glen because we got to toast marshmallows and my group won the scavenger hunt. I learned that any time you go into the forest you must look up to see if there are any loose branches.

Joshua – My favourite activities were Airspace, M and Ds and the cinema because at Airspace I learned how to do a front flip and at M and Ds I enjoyed riding the roller coasters with my friends. At the cinema I saw Fast and Furious 7 and at the Scottish Parliament the crosses on the roof are saltires.

Amy – My favourite day during activities week is hard to decide as everything was so amazing, although I would have to say Thursday was the best. On Thursday we went to M and Ds then Airspace. The rides at M and Ds wee awesome and the weather was great. Airspace was great too, jumping about on bouncy trampolines and doing cool tricks. I also learned something during activity week. I learned how to light a fire and what was needed to light a fire.

Aaron – My favourite activity was M and Ds because I loved the Tsunami ride when it went backwards and done the loop. I learned that the grey squirrels were invading the red squirrels.

Abbi – My favourite activity was M and Ds. It was a blast for all of us. M and Ds is my favourite activity because we were allowed to roam free, ride as many times as possible and basically just have fun! I had also learned a whole bunch of new knowledge from Dynamic Earth! I learned that komodo dragons actually smell with their tongues! There was also a part where I learned that grey squirrels ate red squirrels.

Ross – My favourite activity was Airspace because I was with all of my friends. Also I love playing on trampolines. While I have been away I have learned to do a wall run.

Josh – My favourite activities were Airspace and M and Ds. They were my favourite because they were both really fun and at Airspace I was really enjoying dodgeball. I learned that the earth took very long to be made.

Ben – My favourite activity was Airspace. The reason why I liked it was because I got to jump off of blocks. My new knowledge is how to make a fire and to cope in the forest myself.  I also learned how to do a 360 in Airspace.

Matthew – My favourite activity was M and Ds because we got to go on rides. I now know that I am taller than a sun bear. At Airspace I learned how to do a front flip. I also learned that grey squirrels brought a disease called squirrel pox.

Tom – I liked Thursday the most because we got to have freedom at M and Ds and also we got 1 hour at Airspace. I loved Airspace so much because there were trampolines everywhere. Down in the glen I learned two things. The first thing is when you pick the leaf off a stingy nettle it will not sting you. The second thing is not to burn your marshmallow!

Calum – My favourite activity was the zoo because I got to see animals. I also enjoyed M and Ds because it was fun. I have learned that there are three types of penguin at the zoo.

Connor – My favourite activities were the zoo, M and Ds and Airspace. I liked the zoo because I saw animals that I had never seen before. I  liked M and Ds because of all the rides and being with my friends all day. I also loved Airspace because we were on trampolines and you got to play lots of games. I have learned that the grey squirrels infected the red squirrels.

Luke – My favourite activities were Airspace and M and Ds because at M and Ds I got over my fear of roller coasters and I got over my fear of heights jumping on to the airbag at Airspace. I learned a lot more about the earth at Dynamic Earth.

Cameron – My activity week was amazing with all my friends around that I couldn’t have asked for a better one! My first favourite activity would have to be M and Ds because I got to go around the park with all my friends around me and go on a lot of different rides. My favourite ride would probably be the Space coaster.  My second favourite activity would have to be Airspace because I jumped even higher than I thought I could! The new knowledge I have gained is that the sun and moon can affect the water level.

 

 

 

Activity Week – Day 3

On Wednesday 13th May we had a brilliant day exploring in the glen. We worked as a team to build our very own dens. Some of our dens had great walls and even  door mats! We also learned how to light a small fire and managed to toast some marshmallows.
