Both Primary 7 classes had an amazing time during their end of year treat to Deer Park bowling.
It was fantastic to hear such a supportive atmosphere amongst the pupils as they cheered one another on and offered support and advice on how to get a ‘strike’.
The overall winner of the bowling competition was Rebecca Wood – Well Done Rebecca!
After all their hard work there was time for a tasty lunch before heading back to school.
The Science Department at Whitburn Academy kindly invited us down to experiment with burning various substances.
Everyone had the chance to wear the cool safety goggles and bunsen burners to find the following:
| Substance Burned | Form | Flame colour changed to… |
| Magnesium | Metal | Bright White |
| Copper Sulphate | Liquid | Blue/Green |
| Lead Nitrate | Liquid | Icy Blue |
| Potassium Bromide | Liquid | Lilac |
| Barium Chloride | Liquid | Red/Orange |
As you can see there was lots of focused faces:
Our annual P7 trip to the Risk Factory has been booked for Monday 5th November 2012.
The bus wil leave at 9am and should return by 2pm approx.
A packed lunch will be required. If you are entitled to a free lunch this must be ordered with Mrs Inglis by no later than Friday 2nd November.
*** Please do not ask anyone about or listen to any stories from people about their trip to the Risk Factory as this will waste the experience on the day!***
