The theme for Science Week this year is ‘Journeys’. All children in the school will undertake a science project ,in school, with each stage following a different design remit.

P1-P3 will design and create a vehicle powered by a balloon or a rubber band.

P4 -6 will design and create a rescue vehicle that includes the use of a lever or pulley.

P7’s design will include a lever,pulley and a motor.

Watch this space to see what our budding scientists will produce!

Other events will run throughout the week including guest speakers, a poster competition, and lots of exciting,fun learning opportunities.

Congratulations to all the boys and girls who participated in the cross country event at Queen Victoria School today. The conditions were challenging but everyone completed the course, albeit rather more muddy than they started. Positions will be confirmed as soon as we receive the results from Active Stirling.

David thought of a science lesson to show the dyes in pens and the colours that make up  these dyes.

Ellie helped by Brooke created a fantastic quiz about our class novel this term.
