Pop-up Science: Our Wired World

Tuesday 11 — Wednesday 12 April

Come and see what happens when you get creative with technology! Get hands-on with mobile robots, play games and have a go at a bit of programming. These interactive exhibits developed by students from Edinburgh Napier University will make you think… and laugh. Are they visions of the future, or just flights of technical whimsy? You decide…

P5A Zoo Lab

P5 learned so much from Zoo Lab animal handling expert, Tristan, who visited all three P5 classes on Monday 13th March and explained how several rainforest animals are so well adapted to their environment. Even though the children were super excited, they were extremely caring and careful in handling the animals.
