Science Club!

Children were randomly selected to go to the Glasgow Science Centre to take part in a science exhibit. Children were asked to do a short presentation of what they had being doing in their club and then took part in 3 min science and engineering challenges, run by STEM. Children were able to take part in lots of activities during the day and watch a 3D movie in the Imax cinema. There was an award ceremony at the end. Children had a fantastic time and have asked for Science Club to continue next year so watch this space.

Fruit Smoothie Challenge!

P3/4 has undertaken a challenge this week, to create a business which would produce and promote a fruit smoothie. Children have formed business teams and designed a logo for their business.

Children will be issued tasks to complete from now until the end of term and will be secretly graded on the quality of their work and their success in meeting their learning intentions. The winning team will make their fruit smoothie for the P7 Leaver’s assesmbly.
Homework will be to research food products, packaging and advertising to help complete challenges. We will continue to keep you updated. Please check the blog for regular up dates.

Last week, at Science Club, we were learning about how to make a circuit. This week, we made working models with our circuits.
We followed our help sheets and worked in our groups to finish our tasks. We had a working doorbell for a house, a lighthouse and a clown with flashing eyes and a spinning bow tie.
Stay tuned to see what we will do next week!
