P7/6 Windfarms
Primary 7/6 have completed their collaborative topic with Stoneyburn. Our topic was an Eco topic about renewable energy, how the land is used and focused on wind farms. We have built our own wind turbines testing out the difference in blade shapes, amount and wind speeds. We have acted out a pro and cons protest to wind farms. We have tested wind speeds and how to use the wind to our advantage. We have looked at renewable and non renewable energy sources and the future in Scotland. To finish it all of we visited Whitelee wind farm in Glasgow to ask more questions and see the giants in action. Also look at our separate blog on poetry as we used the wind turbines for a poetry project with Julie Douglas.

Healthy eating healthy minset
Primary 7/6 experienced food tasting in our Health Week. Thank you to Mrs Irvine, Mrs Hendry, Mrs Woodhouse and Miss Benson for preparing a variety of treats for us to try. We commend Primary 7/6 for their positive  mindset to this task and for trying most things. Some foods were very popular like mango and some not so popular like rhubarb, although the faces pulled when eating it were the best! Lots of pupils discovered a new love for muscles and smoked mackerel and re kindled their love of some fruits and vegetables. Well done boys and girls.
