Deer Park Bowling Trip

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.

 

Burning Lesson at Whitburn Academy

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:
