Well S1/2 science club 2023/24 is off to a fantastic start. Although we did sacrifice a poor jelly baby. All in the name of science of course! Also pupils lava'd making some lava lamps.
A massive well done to our fabulous senior pupil Joley for running the show. (Tues lunch)

Some of our S3 pupils were working on their presentation skills in biology. It's so scary to stand up in front of your peers but these pupils produced excellent work and were confident in their delivery. Superb work!
