What a busy week we have had through STEM week. Firstly we visited the planetarium which was so impressive. The pupils asked lots of questions and found out lots of information about our solar system, the International Space Station and our night sky. We learned how to detect the North Star by following two stars in the constellation The Plough/Big Dipper. Primary 7’s made a model of the Sun, Moon and Earth to show how they orbit each other. Perhaps the most heated part was the class debate on the conspiracy theory of the Moon Landing. Such interesting facts surround this theory but when it came to the class vote the believers won the vote with their convincing scientific arguments. For our open morning the class split into teams and used a variety of resources to make a working Moon Buggy.
