Our Info gang meeting today was cool…..
We viewed our new School website which is in the process of being set up….we like how our blog and twitter accounts are ‘ live ‘and we couldn’t believe how good P3 were in their Twitter video saying their Scottish Poem.
The info gang thought this would be great for parents and people at home to see what is happening with pupil learning in our school all in one place.
Dont forget Info Gang now you have added a mailbox to your Launch Pad Mrs C has left you an email challenge so log in to GLOW and see if you can email Mrs C back!

Another engineer visits Primary 4
Design engineer, Jamie brought his 3D printer into class. He showed us how he translates a solid object into a program, which can then be loaded into the printer. The machine melts a reel of plastic and lays it onto a glass plate in sections – building up one row at a time. This little plastic robot took about 30 minutes to print, but the robotic hand was our favourite. Jamie has left us a design challenge to work on over the next week.
