STEM- Cup Challenge

Primary 7b, used problem solving, communication and resilience to carry out our ‘Cup Challenge’. In our groups we completed 4 cup stacking challenges, where we had to build the shown cup arrangement only using an elastic band and string.
We could not touch the cups with our hands. Here are some photos of us in action!

Santa’s Den

P6/7 and P7 had a visit from Santa this week. Pupils worked together in groups to design and create a new mode of transport for Santa. Each group then had to pitch their design to Santa, explaining how their mode of transport was environmentally friendly , cost effective, how it moved, etc.

Santa was very impressed with our designs! Well done to Santa’s winning team!

Coding Club

This afternoon was our very first coding club.

We started our introduction to coding by learning how to code our beebots. We then used the kapla blocks to build a track/maze and coded our beebots to travel through it.

National Numeracy Day

As part of National Numeracy Day on 18th May children from P2/3, P3, P4/5, P6, P7/6 and P7 took part in an Official World Record Attempt for the most participation and views of Rolling Numbers Livestream.  We managed to break the record and 5, 362 schools took part.  Well done!
We also took part in Numbers and dancing with Katya Jones, where we learned dynamite dance moves.  We had to keep count of the steps .  It was great fun.   We ​thought about what we would like to be when we grow up and how we would use numbers in that job.  We created pictures of us doing our dream job or hobby and  how it uses numbers.
We had a great day.
