πŸ§ͺ🌱 Primary 6 Get Techy With Soil Science! πŸ’‘πŸ’§

19th Feb 2026

Our Primary 6 pupils have been busy becoming young environmental scientists this week! Using Micro:bits, they carried out an exciting experiment to measure soil moisture levels across a variety of soil types.

Working in teams, pupils connected moisture sensors to their Micro:bits, collected real-time data, and compared how different soils—like sand, compost, and garden soil—hold water. πŸ’¦πŸ“Š

The class showed brilliant teamwork, problem-solving, and digital skills as they explored how technology can help us understand the world around us. 🌍✨

Fantastic work, Primary 6—future engineers and scientists in the making! πŸ‘πŸ”¬
