The Gritter visit

This week P6/7 went to see the Gritter. It was a very fascinating experience. First when we saw the Gritter, one of the lady showed us the different types of gritt and salt that they put on the road, there was salt, grit, and also a mix between the two! Then we went to see the back of the Gritter. At the back of the Gritter there was a sensor that told the driver it was working. By Sadie, Shay and Shonaimageimageimageimage

Junk Rockets

This week at school we have been making rockets out of junk as part of our space topic. Pupils have been bringing in junk to create the rockets for a week. We made a planner of how it would look and how we would create it. We looked at pictures of other space ships and got inspiration from them. At the end we will evaluate them. Some people used paper mache or masking tape to cover their bottles that the are using as the rocket. We think they will all look very good at the end.                             Written by Ewen and Iona.image image image

S2 came to visit P1

Miss Fraser and secondary 2 came to our classroom this morning to show us how to make circuits, buzz buzzers, use switches and light up bulbs.  We really enjoyed it.

Hector said “I liked the buzzing thing.”

Liena said “I liked when we made the red, green and blue lights.”

Bobby said “I liked the magic key one that made the fan turn fast.”

Reeta said “I liked lighting up Rudolf’s nose.”
