Science investigation 2 – Taste
Type of Taster | Number in class |
Non-Taster | 2 |
Taster | 10 |
Supertaster | 5 |
The pupils said:
The food colouring tasted disgusting.
This investigation was quicker and easier than last week.
I thought the bumps were single taste buds but now I know they are groups of taste buds.
I learned new words while investigating taste.
You had to be careful with the food colouring.
We needed to be hygienic all the time.
Tongues have more to them than I thought.
What a Drama!!
The Primary 7s joined other small schools at Minishant Primary yesterday to take part in a Drama Workshop. They all had great fun experimenting with different ways to use their voices to engage and inspire their younger reading buddies. They are good to go with the Book Trust shared reading project now. Well done P.7s.

Kyle received an achievement award for his artwork. Stephen got a certificate for super spelling last week and Matthew was rewarded for his excellent effort in preparing for our Christmas show. Well done boys.
And the girls were also in fire this week with Cara winning an award for superb homework. Lucy topped the class with practically perfect punctuation and Nikkita was given an achievement award for all her effort and enthusiasm in class. Great job girls.
