This morning saw 9FN getting into the recycling mood and creating some great fancy dress outfits made just from recycled materials.  I think you will agree that they look very original!  Everyone had great fun making them and it was very difficult to pick a winner.

Science Club moved to the greenhouse today and started working on growing their own seeds and plants.  We have planted some vegetables and flowers.

We have also planted some sunflower seeds and look forward to seeing who grows the biggest sunflower plant.

The competition for the best recycled fancy-dress outfit hots up with another class taking part.  Some really imaginative outfits and designs by pupils from 9BL and 9CD.  Well done!!

Yea r 9na designed a number of fancy dress outfits made from recycled materials.  These included Robot men, Recycled fairies and a recycled Viking!

Some Year 9 classes have been working hard researching the Titanic.  Over the anniversary they were discovering interesting facts about the ship.

They worked together to produce some great posters.  Unfortunately there can only be one winner per class.  Congratulations to all the groups for their hard work.

Winner in 9FN

Winner in 9BL/CD

The BP Trading Challenge roadshow visited the College on 16^th April for an engaging and fast-paced work-related activity delivered by an energetic team of BP presenters. The roadshow offered students the opportunity to put mathematical and enterprise skills into action through an exciting simulation of real-life trading.

Students from Year 9 worked together in a fun, fast-paced team-orientated environment, competing against each other to trade oil and make a profit, demonstrating skills and values that can contribute towards success in business.

Spme very tired, but happy young scientists will soon be home

We concluded our Science and Engineering Week activities in school with a hard fought Science Quiz.  After 4 rounds of Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Space questions we had a winning team whose members included - Emma Stewart, Mary Stevenson, Kirsty McCrory snd Lauren Spence.  Well done to everyone who took part.  Enjoy your eggs.

Our intrepid young scientists have left Edinburgh and we are currently travelling to the Science Centre in Glasgow.

We will spend a few hours exploring the exhibition and trying the puzzles and activities on offer.
