British Science week 2026

As part of British Science week we have been making posters for a national competition . The theme this year is ‘What makes children’s lives positive?’ We discussed what makes us happy and feel good in our lives. We had some lovely responses, like family, friends, being outside in nature, animals, playing with friends etc.

We also made a web ecosystem, which was way more fun than it sounds! We each had a random animal, plant or source of food that can be found in our local environment. We had to choose another animal/plant/food source that we had a connection with and throw the ball of string to them. We very quickly saw how all the different parts of an ecosystem are connected.

Division

P3/2 have been developing their understanding of division by using a sharing strategy with cubes and plates. Through this practical activity, learners explored how quantities can be shared equally into groups, helping them to build confidence in division and further develop their problem solving skills.

Marty the Robot

P3/2 kicked off science week with some outdoor learning using Marty the Robot. We worked collaboratively using our critical thinking skills on how to get Marty the Robot from one side of the MUGA to the other using different movements. Each group then decided to race their Marty the Robot. We had so much fun we have asked Miss Smith if we can learn more about Marty and Programming!

Our P6/7 STEM leads then planned and delivered a science experiment. We made predictions about what we thought would happen and worked as a team to carry the experiment out!

Royal Scottish National Orchestra Visit

P2/1 had a wonderful time at a very special concert in Glasgow Royal Concert Hall this week. Children were able to experience Scotland’s top class orchestra playing live music, with acting and animation helping to create a really immersive experience for them.

The performance told the story of Yoyo, a young Scottish girl, as she explores multicultural themes and shows kindness and care to everyone. Children said “I loved the songs”, “My favourite bit was when she raced her boke, it was exciting”, “I loved the cosy cuddles with her teddy.” Experiences like this support our health and wellbeing conversations in school, and help children to recognise the rights of others.

As you can see from the happy faces in the photos, the class had a ball!

Little Chefs

Our Little Chefs lunchtime club was popular this week, with pizzas on the menu! The children enjoyed preparing their own pizza and decorating pizza boxes.
