The Science Mall

On the 5th of May we went to Glasgow science

centre. Firstly, we went to go in the Science mall the first

thing I went on you had to press a button then a ring

jumped up making a noise when it hit the ground I did not

We’re mad about science!!!

Bus trip

On the way to the Glasgow Science centre. Miss Stapleton, Logan and

Aaron played a very exiting drawing contest. Miss Stapleton won and

Logan was not happy so Logan challenged Miss Stapleton to a game

she accepted his challenge. At this point I fell asleep not once but

twice it was a long and boring journey but it was so worth the wait. I

hurt my neck while I was sleeping every time I look at the right it hurt.

On the way back me Miss Stapleton and Zak had no talk contest it was

a draw in the end. I came 5th it’s so hard not to talk. It’s like the end

of the world everyone was trying so hard miss dale made up these

annoying ideas! I went home happy in the end.

The Science Mall

On the 5th of May we went to Glasgow Science Centre. Firstly, we went to go in the Science Mall. I went on an activity that

involved changing the magnetic force. You had to press a button then a ring jumped up making a noise when it hit the

ground I did not get a fright because I remembered it from a couple of years ago despite all the others around getting a

fright!

Secondly I went to the crane you had to spin a wheel and the platform moved with all the bricks on it, we could move it

back and forward and left or right. The other thing they were was a Microphone we spoke inside it and there was another

one and you could hear what the other person said.

Also On the 3rd floor they was bubble creator you could make a bubble Wall and there was a ball with a leaf blower and a

through you’re supposed to blow the ball through the rings. Zak challenged me to a game so I went first and I got one I

thought I could win whereas Zak thought differently He got 1 in a matter of seconds then he got it through the second ring,

so that meant that ZAK WON!

Science Mall

On Tuesday the 5th of May the whole school went to

Glasgow Science Centre. The first place we went was the

Science Mall. I have picked three things that were on the two

floors of the Science Mall. The first one was a SINGING

BOWL!!!! (It does not actually sing its squeaks! Shh). So what

you did was dip your hand in a bowl that has handles. It

would only work if the bowl had handles or there were bars.

Once you have dipped your hand in water you then rub them

on the handles and/or bars. That’s how the bowl sings! The

second thing I chose was an upside down room! The room is

actually upside down but there is a camera and you can sit on

the upside down couch and the camera will make it look right

way up. The 3rd one I chose was the … BUBBLE SHEILD! The

bubble shield has a screen behind so nothing gets hit that is

behind it. There is big window cleaner brush and you dip it in

soapy water and twist the twister that pulls up the brush to

create the bubble shield.

The Gift Shop

Before we went back to the school p5-7 went to

the gift shop. There was a lot of science stuff but

not all was to do with it. There were a lot of toys

books and some sweets.

It had a lot of cool amazing things that you could

buy and loads of people had at least £3 and

others had £1.50. Loads of people said that was

the best part of the trip. There was a kite maker

kit and Greg and other people were buying them.

Loads of people had fun there and they wished

that they could come back and do more. I bought

a make your own MK spitfire, a piece of rock, 1

drumstick lolly and a tub of farting putty. Loads of

people enjoyed the trip and they want to come

back. By Logan

I WHENT TO THE GIFT

SHOP IN GLASGOW IT

WAS FUN I BOUT A

BRASLAT.

THE PRIMERY ONES

The Science mall

After snack we went to the science mall. It was

filled with lots of science stuff. Miss Dale said that

we had half an hour to try out everything on this

floor not on any other floors. Loads of people

went crazy with all the toys that we could play

with. There was a mini building site and a pirate

bit right at the end of it. There were a lot of

wooden toys and other stuff. We weren’t allowed

to run because of the amount of people there. It

was absolutely amazing because it was a whole

room for the science props there was a beach ball

that could float up into the little course, a cycling

skeleton and other things.

The IMAX

I went to the science centre at Glasgow. We saw a 3D Movie at the

IMAX the movie was called under the sea. But I did not like the

great white shark because it was huge and had massive teeth I also

like the fish I loved the coral reef. The screen was GIANT bigger

than a 5 a side football pitch. I saw a fish that was called a cuddle

fish when it sees a fish it let a fast Tongue and get it.

By Sarah-Jane

IMAX CINEMA

On our trip we went to the IMAX the biggest cinema in Scotland it was massive but when you

put your 3D glasses on it looked smaller I don’t know how. We went to see Island of lemurs it

was all about lemurs there’s a lemur called the mouse lemur it is really vicious and you need to

wear suits to not get attacked. It follows a scientist and her love of lemurs so she goes to find a

rare lemur and one day finds it when she was working and helped open a national park to help

the lemurs have their habitat back after serious fires and tree chopping so there habitat is

gone .N OW SHE CARES FOR A MOUSE LEMUR AND SHE NEEDS TO WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR

SO SHE WON’T GET ATTACKED BY THE MOUSE LEMURS she has to realise them into the wild or

they become more aggressive .It has being tough for the Lemurs of Madagascar now the

farmers are helping restore their home land so they can have their jungle back to normal.

Amazingly they have a new home to mountains so they can adapt to new weathers that they

don’t have back in the rain forest some lemurs don’t have family’s now people are getting

lemurs from other national parks to help the lemurs get a family back so they can have. ..Little

burrows underground to have a warm Mouse and food.

Laser harp

At Glasgow science centre there is a harp with on strings and

you can play it but how Koen body Koen’s you just can it must

be a computer setup and some think it is Laser it’s so cool. At

first I looked at it like way was a harp in a science centre so I

started to play it and it mad noise and I was freaking out. At

the time it was scary more than a ghost.

Island of Lemurs Madagascar

On Tuesday the 5th of May 2015 Holywood Primary

school went to Glasgow science centre. After we had

lunch we went to the I-Max (the largest cinema in

Scotland) and watched Madagascar Island of Lemurs.

The documentary was about how lemurs where

originally from main land Africa when a storm blew a

patch of earth and tree with a family of lemurs and they

drifted to Madagascar.

Because there were no predators in Madagascar they

bread very well and have developed into over 99 species

of lemur. The lemurs on the raft are the only ones that

survived the storm and Madagascar is the only place in

the world that lemurs are not in captivity.

Because trees are being burned down to make grazing

ground FOR CATTLE less forest for lemurs. However the

ring tail lemurs are the only lemurs that have adapted to

live on rocks and they achieved it by sticking together.

Thermal Imaging

camera

We went to the gift shop in Glasgow its really

expensive but I bought nothing. It was really exiting in

the gift shop looking at all these things to buy.

Primary 1 got a light up axe.

Look – No body!

Science trip!!

What happened first?

We came to school feeling very sleepy. We went into

school sat in the hall got everything we needed. We got on

the bus and off we went.

On the bus!

The bus trip took us about 2 hours so that would be long.

On the way we saw sheep, cows. And we played games we

also looked out the windows.

We got there!

We went in the Science Mall. We put our bags and stuff

on our pegs we almost forgot our snack so we went back

and got it. We had snack and the tables were really big.

What we did!

We got to explore for a little bit there was a big stage, Isla,

Chloe and I possibly went round everything. We

investigated a lot of science experiments.

Crazy ~ cars!

We went into science crazy ~ cars. We had to go in twos

the tables were blue, red, and green and yellow me and

Isla got sent to the blue table. We talked about cars and

then we had to build and race our own crazy cars.

Going up the lift!

When we were in the lift every one sang the theme to Star

Wars. The lift was big and I mean really big the whole class

could fit in it.

. Lemurs

On the 5th of May 2015 P1-7 went to

Glasgow science centre.

After we had lunch we took a short stroll

to the IMAX screen room the biggest

screen in Scotland. The film that we would

be watching was an educational

documentary about Lemurs narrated by

Morgan Freeman. Did you know the

bamboo Lemur is the rarest Lemur in

world and only eats bamboo, and mouse

Lemurs are the most deadly and small

Lemur of them all. The only place where

you can find lemurs in the wild is the

island of Madagascar but sadly the island

is endangered for them because of forest

fires for farming and grazing for animals,

and if that does not stop well all the

Lemurs will become

Extinct

Bike breakfast

On the 22nd of May Holywood

School are doing a bike ride come

with your helmet and check brakes

and tyres miss dale will bring out

the bacon butties.

Sniff Look and Listen

We had to smell in some pots. The pots had

some things in them like chocolate, minty

toothpaste, roses and oranges. We had feeling

boxes that had maracas and a blue wig. We

played Granny footstep. We sneaked up on

Granny and tried not to wake her up. If we

woke her she turned her head and said 3, 2, 1

GETS BACK!

SCIENCE MALL On the 5th of May we drove on a bus to Glasgow Science Centre. When we walked in we went to put are bags away.

Then we walked to the second floor there was a MINI CONSTRUCTION SITE! We ran into the site in the construction site

there was a mini crane that you could lift foamy bricks and concrete.

In the mini construction site it was hard putting all the bricks into a pyramid and turning the wheel to make it move up

and down and turn it right and left, I enjoyed it but it was really tiring.

At the corner of the room there was a mini dust devil/tornado. You wait for it to form and you can put your hand into it

to make it disappear if you had a cold hand it would turn into water.

Next to the tornado there was a huge touch screen that you could enlarge and shrink photos at the bottom there are

photos that you tap and they pop up. I enlarged a bug and scared myself with a photo of a spider. By Zak

The Gift Shop

was blue it was shinny very shinny it gave Blair an

electric shock it was in a big glass bottle. By kye

Lightning bolt and cockroaches

LEMUR Film at the IMAX Cinema

We were at Glasgow science centre on Tuesday. We went to see a

move called lemurs. They war living in Africa on the island. They

were exploring the country. They speak like a weird animal. When

they speak they speak one at a time. They are very polite and

respectful to each other. The Lemurs eat hard wood. The Africans

burn the tall grass which then makes it impossible for the lemurs to

build their dens. The grass will grow back but until then the Lemurs

can’t have families. The queen carries her child on her back until

they are big enough to climb by themselves. The queen always

speaks first as she is the leader of the pack. She protects the pack

and den from other animals including monkeys, chimpanzees,

humans and some spiders.

The Marble Run

This is my exiting thing I found at Glasgow science centre

first you press the button and the lift takes the balls up and

the ball goes thru the loop and the maze it is good relay

good at the science centre there are yellow balls the button

is white the maze is a silver the Box that controls it is a red

Box. The marble run is about the same length and width as

our classroom there.

The beach ball fan was nice and good you had to get the ball

although the fan. The pattern is grey and big the hoops are

small and thin you blow the ball throw the hoops it is

excitably easy.

At Glasgow science centre there was a cold bottle full with

water if you walk up you can see if you are hot or cold if you

are red you are hot and if you are blue you are cold. The

bottle was blue my face was red and my hands where red

and it was cold the thermal imaging camera.

Every Thursday a group called Let’s Get Sporty will come to do multi sports like rugby, football sprinting athletics

hockey etc.

Bring a pound each session to pay for the fee. We have to Bring your gym kit (not a football kit) on 12th 19th 26th May

and 9th 16th 23th June in order to take part. If we forget our gym kit we cannot join in it would be sad not to join in

because everyone else would be having fun and you just sit and watch that would be boring. Mark says is better than

football because he likes tackling. Zak says he loves football more than rugby because his dad liked it for years. He goes

to matches with his dad rarely. In the athletics we think we could improve in throwing skills in sprinting we think we will

improve your pace. In hockey we think they are going to tell us the rules and how to a hockey stick.

Glasgow science centre

Glasgow science there was advanced beach ball and an air

mashie although some hoops you had to get the ball throw the

hoops I thought it was hard but I done it the ball was a lot of

fantastic colours. It was cool but the hoops where sideways

there where 2 hoops. There was a gravity mashie there was

three bouncy balls the top one was fab when you put the

three balls up in the air when you throw the balls down the

top one shoots up in the air. The singing bool when you whet

your hands then you rub your hands on the handle then the

boll sings I liked it cos it was the best thing in Glasgow science

centre. On the lift was cool cos it had a see throw window

there was 2 doors you did not know what one was going to

open ones the door opened at both sides when it stopped

your legs started shaken it felt like you were going fall blown it

was epic. Then we had lunch the lunch bit was well big the sets

where bulleting to the tads. The escalator it goes up and down

we only used it once and we went up not blown some people

fell at the top where you have to step off.

Glasgow Science Centre

On Tuesday the 5th of May 2015 Holywood primary were on a bus trip to Glasgow

science centre. The pieces of science that I liked were the Lazar Harp, lightening

ball and a cycling skeleton. The Lazar harp was like a harp but with invisible

strings. Some times when I was playing older students were putting their hand

through the lazar and made it go weird it was a bit off putting but hand when they

were putting their hand on the Lazar I was annoyed but I did not want to show

them that I was mad so that they did not do it again and annoy me again. I think

that it was a very good peace of science. My next piece of science the at I liked

was a lightening ball. I think that inside is a I did not make it look like I was mad so

that it would not happen again. I think that inside is a electric ball that when it

senses heat on the outer glass it makes an electric wave which follows the heat

around the glass. My final best thing is a cycling skeleton, it is a large skeleton that

shows you how much of your leg that you use just to peddle a bike. I thing that it

was made by a belt that when you peddle, it turs a belt that moves the legs to

show how much of your leg is used during peddling a bike.

CRAZY CARS

On the 6 may Holywood Primary School visited Glasgow Science Centre to make car-azy

cars. First we talked about safety with the glue guns and propellers. To make our cars we

use something out of the recycling bin. For the wheels we use milk lids and a wood stick to

hold together. The axel was a straw. To put it together we used a hot glue gun. We also

learned about aerodynamics. They also told us what a body of a car was called. I already

knew. It was a chassis.
