This week in Challenge club we completed 2 STEM challenge cards. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
The first challenge we took part in was trying to get 2 ping pong balls to float above a hairdryer that was on. We got 1 to float but found it difficult for the other one to stay in the air. This is because they kept on hitting each other and the air current could only work around one ping pong ball.
The second challenge we completed was to make a car safe if it had a crash. We designed a crumple zone for the front, back and sides of the car. We used paper, sellotape, masking tape and straws to make the crumble zone on our toy car. We tested our crumple zones by shooting a car towards a wooden block. Some of us were successful and the crumple zone survived, some did not!
We can’t wait for the next challenge club next week.

Presentjrso assembly 2015ation to Community Council
Primary 7s have been working closely with Bob and Maria from Software Training Scotland, over the past 10 weeks.They have been learning all about how to create music using a program called Garageband, by pulling tracks apart and reconstructing them again. On Monday the primary 7 pupils shared their learning at assembly and we got to hear some of their music tracks. We were loving the beats so we had to get up and dance. Have a look at our video to see our live jamming session!
Some short videos…..
Andy from Jammin’ Fitness came out last month to work with the children on confidence and positive thinking. We are able to do anything we want as long as we put our mind to it. He spoke to the upper school in an inspirational and active assembly and then worked with P7 pupils on presentation skills.

Everyday we sell tuck at the beginning of school. Lately we haven’t been selling much so we thought we’d tell you about what we have and why tuck is good.
You can buy:
* biscuits
* a range of fruit – bananas, apples, oranges, raisins, pineapple and melon
* yoghurts
* cheese strings
The items vary in price starting at 10p.
Having a healthy snack at playtime provides us with lots of energy to help make our great brains work. If you buy tuck it helps the school to raise money to buy new things for our classes and our playground.
We hope to see more of you at tuck shop.
The tuck team – Jason B, Jenna and Elise
