The best thing you can do to prepare your child for the day is to send them to school with an ‘I can’ attitude.

Natural Disasters in P6/5
P6/5 have been learning about different types of natural disaster. They were keen to find out more about volcanoes and completed many challenges finding out about where volcanoes are and researching the city of Pompeii after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pupils worked in groups to create their own papier mache volcanoes. We then took them outside and simulated eruptions using coke and mentos. Everyone had a lot of fun but it was a bit sticky!

Dragons Den in P7/6
Primary 7/6 have been working hard learning about different inventors and how their discoveries have changed society in some way.
They were then sent a challenge to design and create their own invention! We had lots of creative ideas from glasses with wipers to our own personal robots! The children worked hard in their groups to write a persuasive sales pitch and then presented their ideas, along with their prototypes, to P7.
P7 asked them lots of interesting questions, such as; the manufacturing cost of their product and what their unique selling point was. P7/6 coped well under pressure and managed to answer their questions.
P7 had to choose which business they would invest in and the winning business was ‘Charged’ – a mobile phone charger that has a percentage calculator and stops producing electricity when your device is fully charged. Rhianna and Toni presented with confidence and professionalism. Our runners up was the Solar panel phone created by Ben W, Adam S and Declan.
Well done to all involved!
