Primary 6 School Trip

Primary 6 visited Dynamic Earth to learn more about their science topic- Space. They had a very informative visit to the planetarium where they journeyed into our solar system and explored the planets further. After this, they had a workshop that involved them making a spacecraft, using LEGO, that could travel to a planet in space and take samples to send back to Earth.

After lunch, we had a tour around the rest of the building where we travelled through time. We explored how the world was created, saw the first dinosaurs and even got to see and touch a real iceberg.

We had all had a fantastic day!

Busy Bee’s in P6

Well what a busy week we have had with Book Week Scotland and Anti-bullying Week! That’s not even mentioning all our usual work too 😅

We have been excited about our new novel ‘Wonder’, creating a collaborative piece focusing on the positives we bring. We think it’s just WONDERful! #BookWeekScotland

We also got creative and wrote poems about bullying from the perspective of different people. Sending a clear message to the bullies out there. Here just a small selection-

Have a great week,
