STEM Construction Challenge

Children in our P1-3 department have been thoroughly enjoying taking part in a range of construction based challenges this week! These challenges have been collaborative, motivating and above all FUN! We have had to learn how to co-operate in mini teams, problem solve, persevere and express our own ideas using a wide range of practical materials! Here are a few snapshots of Primary 3/2 in action…with a couple of sneaky P7s who wanted in on the building site action!  Oh and Ms Elder who was instructed by the Site Manager to wear her hard hat and high viz waistcoat before she could pass through 🙂

Growing Cress with Ms Elder

After reading all about cress seeds, some of Ms Elder’s superstars decided to grow their very own cress in pots. They loved observing the daily changes and kept a visual photographic diary for all of us to see each day when we passed by the classroom. We hope you enjoyed tasting them at home on your sandwiches! Well done everyone!

Scottish Family Learning Challenge

Welcome back everyone and Happy New Year to you all!!  We hope that you have had a very enjoyable Christmas break and from all of the excited faces we were greeted with on Wednesday, we think it is safe to say that everyone is happy to be back into routine!

As you know, before the holidays we issued a wee Scottish family learning challenge which was to build a 3D model of a Scottish landmark with your family.  Some of you have certainly been busy and we have really enjoyed seeing what you have made so far.  Please ensure that your family creations are sent in to school by Monday the 9th of January so that we can have them ready for displaying…and later judging!   Thanks everyone!  Mrs Simpson
