P7 are enjoying themselves and showing a growth mindset each day. Kilbowie has been a great success and the children have loved every day !

We recently had a visit from Ian at the Mobile Military Museum.  Ian brought his own personal collection of war memerobalia to show us. This enhanced our WW2 learning and allowed us to get a hands on experience with artifacts from the Second World War. Take a look at us enjoying our Mobile Military Museum experience.

Primary 7 have spent a long time waiting for this opportunity. The time finally came for them to deliver their speeches to the school in the hope of becoming School Captain. The children enjoyed every moment of it and showed a great understanding of the democratic process they were involved in after undertaking their democracy topic at the start of term 1.

We have started our IDL topic for this term. We are learning about the Second World War. So far we can identify the major figures of WW2, and can identify the allies of Britain and Germany , and which countries Hitler and the Nazi army annexed to give Germany more land in Europe. We created maps of allied and axis countries at the start of WW2 in 1939.

We started off the new session by celebrating our schools 40th birthday.  We had lots of fun and enjoyed a wide range of activities.  We took part in desgining our schools birthday cake, an assault course, and even an ice cream van! We beat Mr Young in the assault course race, so got our ice creams before he got his !

Welcome to P6/7’s blog. This year our teacher is Mr Young. We are really excited about this year and are looking forward to all the challenges it will bring. We have already decided that in our class we do not have a fixed mindset , we are a growth mindset class and cant wait to develop this.  Keep up with our learning journey through our blog, and watch us learn to do things that we can’t do YET.

Today is sports day, this morning was so fun we have had a bunch of activities like the basketball shootout,making fruit kebabs, an agility course and also running a mile, We have got more to look forward to this afternoon. Emma and Adam.

It is a great day, there is new surprises and something different every year, sadly this is the last year for us P7,s. Cerys.

P7 are continuing to work hard, we have started our new literacy block with a focus on media. We are using the film Diary of a Wimpy Kid to work from. Pupils are engaged in transferring their knowledge of literacy strategies to this movie format. This film is also about school transition and provides a good focus for discussion.

We are starting to work on our leavers assembly, we have a script, songs and pupils have volunteered for their parts. Watch this space.

This week in p7 we have been practising for our summer show, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We have also been learning about area in maths, and we have also been learning about media studies through Diary of a Wimpy Kid. In P.E we have been walking a mile everyday.

Today we worked in groups to devise a reliable experiment to investigate the distance a toy car would travel from the end of the launch ramp, the variable we used was the height of the ramp. We predicted that the higher the ramp the further the car would travel.
