Today in P7S we took part in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) challenge relating to our class novel ‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar.
In groups, we had to design and create a free standing hammock out of junk and craft materials which would hold a duplo character. We also tested them to failure to see how much weight they would hold – the winner could hold a staggering 750kg!

A toolkit for parents of children of all ages
We’ve been very busy this term. Our topics have been “Materials “ and “Houses and Homes.”
We have investigated the properties of various materials.
Our museum visit focussed on materials people used in the past and we made our own clay pot. We had a super time.
We have been working with numbers to 100, learning addition and subtraction strategies, time and measurement.
and learning about verbs, adjectives, nouns and alphabetical order.
From P6N 🙂
What a busy term it has been in P6N! We’ve had a great time learning all sorts of things! We had a trip to the museum to learn all about Victorian Shetland, ‘Victorian Day’ in class, a trip to the Natural Selection Exhibition up at the old Anderson High School, and a visit from Ian Clarke, education outreach worker from the Scottish Parliament.
Both Mr Sandison and myself have been blown away by all of the efforts the primary seven classes have put into the Titanic homework tasks they were given this term. We have seen everything from models, fact sheets, cooked meals, menus, boarding passes, diary entries, clothes designs and lots more! A big well done to all of the pupils in P7 and a thank you to all of the
parents/carers for their efforts and collaboration with this too.
Primary six and seven enjoyed a performance called ‘The Journey’ by the Baldy Bane Theatre company this morning. The performance was ‘forum theatre’ which meant that the pupils were able to particiapte throughout the play and were invited to make certain decisions to determine the outcome of the scenes. The key messages of the play were all about road safety. The pupils shared a lot of great knowledge to ensure a safe outcome for all of the characters in the play.
