Day 3 of Science Week involved a visit from the Kintyre Rainforest Alliance to give us a closer look at lichens, fungi and moss found on trees within our local area. It is very important that these rainforests are preserved as they provide the perfect habitat for a huge range of species. Thank you very much for coming to speak to the children.   ELC and P1/2 worked together to take on the job of palaeontologists by excavating cookies. They had to work very delicately to extract the chocolate chips, mimicking the way palaeontologists have to chip away rock very carefully to expose dinosaur bones.   In the afternoon, STEM challenges  were led by P7 pupils who are working towards their Young STEM Leaders qualification.   Tomorrow we are inviting parents/carers to join us any time between 9:00 am to 10:30am as we are hosting a drop-in Open Science Morning. Please come along to see some of our new STEM resources in action and take part in some STEM challenges along with the children. We look forward to seeing you.
