Appliance of science is making waves at Craignish Primary School
Budding sea champions from Craignish Primary School are just back from a trip to Glasgow Science Centre.
The day out was organised by Seawildlings youth group, a sister branch of award-winning Ardfern-based charity Seawilding - the UK’s first community-led native oyster and seagrass restoration project.
The outreach group, set up to fill a curriculum gap in making young people aware of appreciating and protecting the sea and what lies under it, organises activities throughout the year.
In the past 12 months, the Seawildlings have enjoyed working with artists, a coasteering experience with Hebridean Persuits and going on a seafari, to list but a few of their adventures.
Seawildlings’ Bea Goudy said: "We are not hoping to make a marine engineer out of each of them but we’d settle for them being advocats for the sea."
As well as having a private donor who helps funds the sessions, the group also has good connections with SAMS, The Scottish Association for Marine Science at Dunstaffnage near Oban.
Craignish Primary School and Pre 5 Unit headteacher Donna Scholefield says the children had an amazing time at the science centre.
She added: "It was a very inclusive trip. The children had great fun participating in science experiments. Our Kingfishers class which is P1-P3 were amazed by the planetarium while our older Falcons children (P4-7) were awe struck by the IMAX under the sea 3D experience. We are very grateful to Seawildlings for funding this for our school."
