Elphinstone Primary SchoolThe challenge: To use plastic bottles and an assortment of other materials to build a pirate ship that would float in water.
Working with our ‘buddies’ we discussed the best ways to complete this task. The competition was fierce!
There was some excellent teamwork between older and younger pupils. The finished results were not only very different but cleverly creative!
Outside in the playground the test begins. Will our ships float and win …..or capsize and sink!
We competed against each other and the youngest buddy had the task of blowing the ship across the tub of water. Amid much cheering and laughter, Mrs Berry and Mrs Small had the difficult task of judging the pirate ships.
The winner was declared at the end of the contest. Well done to Olivia and Kelsey!
Having won the cluster ‘Little and Large’ cooking competition Euan and Lauren were through to the final. They did fantastically well and were awarded second place! Well done! All of us at Elphinstone Primary are very proud of you!

Well done to Lauren and Euan who won the Cluster heats for the Little & Large Cookery Competition on Thursday!
I think everyone enjoyed the afternoon and it was great to see the pupils so interested in cooking. Lauren and Euan Elphinstone are now through to the final in Preston Lodge on Thursday the 26th of May! We wish them the best of luck.
