Primary 6 have had great time learning about the brain in an interactive and engaging way! We made our brains using various materials to demonstrate the parts of the brain that are vital in controlling how our body moves and perceives the world around us! The brain is a very complex and powerful control centre, and our hats show that different parts of the brain are in charge of different things in our body! Ask a Primary 6 more about the brain and its important functions!

Primary 7 Rocket Science!
P7 were visited yesterday by Martin Bailey an Engineer from Wyman – Gordon in Livingston. After hearing all about his job and how he became an engineer the pupils had their own chance at designing and building rockets. Pupils were split into groups of three or four and set about creating their own rockets. Each rocket was given an astronaut (an egg, eggstronaut!) which they had to land safely after their launch. After presenting their rockets and features and how they were going to keep their eggstronauts safe they tested their rockets, launching them in the field outside. You will be pleased to hear that all our eggstronauts made it back safely. Well done P7 engineers.
Let it grow! Update
Our daffodils are being brave and popping up from the soil to say hello. They still have some growing to do yet but in P2 and P2/1 we are doing a fabulous job of caring for them and are sure it won’t be long before they are beautiful, blooming daffodils to be proud of.
