On Saturday 14th May there is a free event taking place at The Helix in Falkirk. It is centred around nature and there are lots of things to do to learn about and interact with local nature.

It was lovely to see pupils looking at the new display in the corridor. This display shows examples of pupil learning in maths across early, first and second level. This is a great way to see how skills in maths develop during their time with us.
Please make sure you have a look next time you’re in school.
We got to enjoy a special show today. It was called Little Giants and was part of the Science Festival. Through this show we got to learn lots about honey bees which will help us with our topic on minibeasts. Did you know that honey is made from nectar that a bee carries in their stomach! We got to learn the waggle dance that bees do to show other bees where the good flowers are. We got to be bees in a special garden and had to use our sense of smell to work out each flower. There was strawberry, orange, rose and vanilla.
Challenge Club restarted today with lots of new excited members!
Our first task was to make geodesic domes using only cocktail sticks and jelly tots! We worked hard to cut the cocktail sticks to size and start to build up our domes. We learnt that geodesic domes are really strong structures made up of interlocking triangles. The pictures show our progress so far!
We have been learning about minibeasts. On Tuesday we learnt about the life cycle of a butterfly. On Friday it was our turn to research the life cycle of another minibeast. We had to work in small groups to find the information using the internet and books. We then had to decide how to present the information to the class (say, write, make, do). The two choices groups went for were acting it out (do) and to create a poster (write). You can click on the links to see two of the videos.
