Badminton Winners

We are very proud of three p6/7 badminton players who did well at the 'Under 15s Badminton Doubles Lotto' in Pickaquoy this month. Well done!! Thanks must go to their coach Karen Thomson for all her hard work.

Happy Holidays!

Have a great holiday everyone, we look forward to next term and all that it may bring.  :0) 

Building Circuits

We had fun making a novelty battery operated item. We designed the item and then built it using the circuit materials. This Christmas scene was designed and built by Megan and Kirstie. The light bulbs were very effective.  We also had a helicopter, an 'Operation' game, a sea-lion with spinning ball, moving wheels, a torch,  Christmas decorations and a frying pan containing a spinning egg!

'Balanced Diet' Talk 10.12.10

We had a visit from school nurse Vicky Anderson today. She talked about making food choices in order to eat a balanced diet. We had great fun sorting the food onto the food groups plate. It was very realistic! Thank you for coming Vicky.

Time Websites

Here's a list of websites we'll be using in class this week,  beginning 6th December:

This one is fun too ( we won't be using it in class)http://www.mad4maths.com/                                                  Have fun!

Lemon Battery

We tried to power a small light bulb, a clock and a buzzer using a lemon as a power source!
Our attempt failed and we discussed why. Were the 2 pence pieces copper? Did we use enough lemons?

Was the circuit closed?  We will try again using some pure copper instead of the pennies as it should have worked!

Thank-you!

A big thank you to everyone involved in making the Children in Need fundraising go so well.

We made £166.05, which was a fantastic effort. Thanks to all those who baked and to everyone who enjoyed the day with us. A special thanks to all the children (and parents) who made the trip to Radio Orkney to deliver the money personally.

Aquamarine Visit

On Tuesday the 23rd p6/7 visited Dounby Primary School to take part in a renewable energy workshop.
The main focus of this was on the 'Oyster' a device designed to make electricity from wave power.

We were able to see a model Oyster in action and have see how it worked.
