Our New Science Room
Primary 7 had a great afternoon in our new science room . Pupils worked in groups to design and make a parachute to carry an egg and land safely. The parachutes were a great success and involved pupils working collaboratively and sharing their ideas.
Learning Through Technology 2014 Conference
Ms Brand, Ms Chadwick, Yusef and Michal presented out Outdoor PE Project at the Learning Through Technology 2014 Conference on 29 April. From the evaluation responses we had very positive feedback.
Delegates said:
“Also enjoyed Lynn and Fiona and especially their pupils! Again inspiring to hear about what they have done in an “ordinary” school setting.”
“Again, very focused and engaging presentations, in particular […] the young pupils from Tollcross Primary. Excellent to hear from learners directly.”
“Great examples of putting ideas into practice and the two pupils from Tollcross were excellent – great to hear about their experiences first-hand.”
