Dinosaurs in the Nursery!

22nd April 2016

DSCN7015_01 DSCN7758The nursery have been learning about dinosaurs and all the different types of dinosaurs. To carry on the project they started to learn about fossils, and how they get preserved over time. They decided to do a dinosaur dig in the sand pit and see how many dinosaurs they could get. Then they invited Mrs Holmes to do a bit of yoga with them. Then they decided to paint some dinosaurs to finish the project.

Euro Quiz Fun

4th March 2016

On the 2nd of March P6 boys went to Bannockburn Primary school to compete in the National Euro Quiz heats. Everyone worked incredibly hard to learn as much as they could to prepare for the competition. There was 5 rounds and the end result was St Marys losing narrowly to Newton by 6 points. The team was against 6 other schools and won a certificate and water bottle for coming in Second Place and everyone was really happy that all their hard work had paid off.

Ice cream technology

4th March 2016

vanilla_icecreamP5/6 have been attempting to create their own ice cream without using any machinery. Using only 2 plastic bags, salt, water, milk, vanilla extract and cream. The mixture failed at first so we put it in the freezer to freeze. It surprising tasted really good.

We did it for practice because p5/6 are doing a competition to make a healthy ice cream without any machinery on the spot.

After we had to write a report on what we did, what happened and why it happened and we had to draw a diagram.

New challenge?!

26th February 2016

Having done tycoon in schools primary 7 were quickly moving on to their new challenge. As ever primary 7 were enthusiastic to get started on their new challenge. There new challenge was to make a bridge made out of cable ties and lolly pop sticks it had to be 2 meters and carry a bottle of water with wheels on it. At first they had a competition to see who could make the strongest structure. In the end we recreated the strongest bridge and added to make it even better.

We were only allowed to enter 6 of 13 children to go to the competition and in the end Duncan, Rebecca, Sophie, Fergus, Ardan and Alex were chosen to go. Let’s hope we do well?!
