On Monday St Machar had a special visitor in the form of Hope the whale. The pupils had a great time learning about keeping our oceans clean from plastic to protect our wildlife. Thanks @whalesorg

Further DYW opportunities at St Machar last week as 2 of our pupils went to see the ONE Bio Hub at Foresterhill. After researching and designing posters about medical advancements made by Aberdonians, these lucky two were picked to get a tour #ItPaysToDoYourResearch #competition

Some fortunate pupils got the opportunity to sequence DNA found in a local pond at Aberdeen University with some fancy new tech. You might be surprised at what they found. Did anyone guess horse DNA? 🧬
