Today's s2 skills challenge: towers!
Paper towers, made with a maximum of 30 sheets of paper, to support a tin of tomatoes for 60 seconds. They were then scored with the equation: height - (2× sheets of paper) = score.
The tallest didn't win, as one group went for tactics instead ;)

We have been working away this week getting materials ready and everything set up to welcome our pupils back next week for remote learning.
It might not be face to face, but we will be following our timetable and here to teach and support live throughout the day.
If you need help figuring out how to access your live lessons, maybe this will help.

This year we couldn't have our usual P7 Open Evening so instead we had a virtual one. Here is the video for the DFT faculty :)
We'll be sharing more of the faculties up until the Christmas break - such a lovely way to see more of the school and get a feel for the commitment of the staff and how much we care about the pupils.
