STEM in P7

P7 have been lucky enough to have Emma Chittick in for three sessions delivering STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) activities.  During her visits the pupils had the opportunity to program Lego robots and create wind turbines and solar cells.  This related very well with our Climate Change topic and they all became very competitive  to see who could get the biggest output from their design!

 

Visit from Morrison’s Construction

On Wednesday 10th May, we had a visit from Morrison’s construction, who are building the new AHS. They provided a really interesting workshop for P7S, with 3 different activities. One involved creating a solid construction using cocktail sticks and midget gems. The second activity was a word search containing different words associated with the construction industry. The third activity involved pupils looking at a diagram of the new AHS and considering which roles each members on the site had. The session ended with a visit from their ‘mascots’!
