This was a follow up to a Balloon Buggies Workshop, where they had to illustrate their investigative skills in designing their buggies. They were presented with certificates and a large box of K'nex Construction Material by Helen MacCafferty, Science Coordinator.
The Primary Choir entertained the large crowd that turned out on Friday 6th Nov to support the school at a Bring and Buy Sale.

On Tuesday 27 October, pupils of P6-S2 travelled to Sgoil Lionacleit to take part in science workshops sponsored by Dynamic Earth and the Scottish Seabird Centre and enthusiastically delivered by Ann o'Brian, seconded from Musselburgh Primary School. Pupils participated in practical work on topics such as  volcanoes, pollution, energy and sustainability.  Issues of climate change were highlighted and the importance of living our lives without using up precious Earth's resources that those who come after us will also need. xWe are grateful to Sgoil Lionacleit for inviting us and in particular to Mr Hogg Science Dept for making all the arrangements. A great afternoon.
