Primary 5 STEM Day: Gliders and Sustainability!

Primary 5 had a fantastic STEM day, filled with hands-on learning and fun! They designed and built their own gliders, thinking carefully about the best shapes and materials to help them fly.

Once their gliders were ready, they tested them out, making observations about how far and how well they flew. Some pupils adjusted their designs to improve their flights, just like real engineers!

As part of the day, primary 5 also learned about sustainability. They discussed how different materials impact the environment and thought about ways to make engineering more eco-friendly. They were challenged to design a sustainable aircraft.

It was a brilliant day of creativity, problem-solving and teamwork. Well done, primary 5!

Primary 1 End of Term Update

Hello parents/carers,

Information regarding everything that has been covered this term is available on Seesaw. This will provide you with an insight of things you can recap or follow up on at home over the festive period.

Children who are wanting to write Christmas cards for their peers have been reminded of where their class mates names can be found.

We look forward to having you along to our Nativity performance on Thursday morning.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss Walkingshaw

Primary 5 Dynamic Earth Trip

Last week, Primary 5 visited Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh, where we learned all about the amazing world of oceans. The highlight of our visit was the Oceans Workshop, where the children took part in five engaging activities:

  • Creating an Ocean Food Web: Exploring how all marine life is connected.
  • Ocean Layers: Identifying animals that live in the different ocean zones.
  • Pressure Experiments: Understanding how pressure increases with depth.
  • Coral Acidification: Using chalk to see how pollution affects coral reefs.
  • ROV Expedition: Learning how robots help scientists study deep-sea animals.

We also toured Dynamic Earth, discovering more about our planet, the water cycle, and ocean ecosystems.

Have a look at our pictures to see the fun we had on this exciting learning adventure!
