Primary 5 visit the Science Centre!

On Wednesday the 10th of March the whole of Primary 5 and 6 went to the Science Centre, and had lots of fun! I really liked the 3D mirror, it was weird. You put your hand in and saw it coming back at you. There was also two satellites, one at one end and one at the other. You talked into one end and the person at the other one heard you. I thought the lab was the coolest you had to do experiments on windmills.

Sandaig have walked together around the whole of Scotland! We have completed the Scottish stride. We loved it and are going to keep doing it. I wonder where we might walk around next? Primary 5 finished it and got to colour the last couple of feet.

Primary 6 Potato Challenge 2010

 
 

Chitting Rocket Potatoes

 

 P6 put Rockey and Vales Emerald seed potatoes in an open, labelled egg box, with the sprouts facing up.  We have put them near a window so they harden over the next two weeks.  This is called chitting.
Once chitting is completed we will put our potatoes in grow bags and half fill them with compost with the shoots facing upwards and cover with compost.

Strathclyde Police Headquarters Trip

On 24th or February p7 went to the Strathclyde Police Station. We went with F.A.R.E. and we had a great time. We learned all about the police in the past. We found out that you could only be a Chief Constable for 5 years and that a man in 1810 discovered that everyone had their own fingerprint. We looked at gang fighting weapons , Gasmasks , old forged money , old id cards and the old police uniforms. We thought that the museum was an inspiration and we enjoyed it so much.
