This term we have been learning about light and lenses in Science. We have enjoyed investigating with microscopes, magnifying glasses, mirrors and torches. We also made our own kaleidoscopes.

Our topic was Australia. We did lots of research and wrote information texts. We also created our own “Visit Australia” adverts and did some Aborigine artwork.

Primary 7 enjoyed an ACE day where they went mountain biking. The course was quite challenging but all of the children did well.

This term we have also been working on a Mock Court project. We have had visits from a solicitor who has helped us to write an initial writ and plan a defence based on a scenario where damage was done at a party. Each child has taken on a role such as court artist, writer, researcher, gown maker or witness. Jack and Lennon have both been doing a fantastic job of being a solicitor. Next term we will visit the court in Ayr to act out our scenario with other schools so we will need lots of practice!
