Today we got the chance to do our problem solving slightly differently….we got to use IPads. Everyone had lots of fun trying to use the app. We had to make a trial and improve it to get the problem right. Mrs Macdonald is going to let us use the IPads in more aspects of our work this term.

Rotary Club Quiz
A massive well done to the girls who went to the recent Rotary Club quiz heats. The girls had to answer ten rounds of general knowledge questions and competed against 8 other schools. Not only did they represent the school fantastically well but they won the quiz. They will now compete at the region finals on the 11th May. Well done girls! We are so proud of you!
African Drumming Workshop
As part of our project we had David in this afternoon to teach us how to play the African Drums. All the boys and girls had a great afternoon. Thanks to all the people who came to watch our performance.
Comic Relief!
Remember to wear red tomorrow and be ready to do something funny for money……. I wonder what that will be…….I hope you are all rehearsing your dance moves!!! 🙂
Keep Our School Safe
As part of an anti vandalism project, in collaboration with Grampian Police, the primary 7 children attended a series of workshops today at Quarryhill. They attended workshops with the Community Wardens, Grampian Police, Grampian Fire and Rescue and the Anti Social Behaviour Unit. Lots of issues were discussed and highlighted to the children. They also took part in a design a coaster competition. The winner of this will be announced later.
The children even got a goody bag to take away! Thank you to all the agencies involved. We are going to follow this up with a visit to the fire station soon.
Homework
For our homework we had to research one of the natural wonders in Africa. We got to choose what we completed our homework on. Mrs Macdonald is very impressed with the quality of the work that has been handed in. Thank you.
Academy Visit
Today, as part of the transition work with Northfield Academy, we went to visit the PE department at the academy. There we did lots of races and played kick ball and lots of other games.
Africa
As part of our project on Africa the children were asked to choose and research an African country. Each group had criteria they had to meet. The children were asked to display their work as a wall display.
Busy, Busy Week!
What a busy week in P7M! The boys and girls have been working very hard. We have been learning about Africa as part of our project. This week we have started to research different countries in Africa and each home team has a wall display to create. We have also been working hard this week to earn credits for good work and behaviour. Some of the boys have already spent some of their credits on choosing the games we play in PE.
We have also started raising money for our leavers jumpers through our enterprise called Toasty Tuesday. We have raised over £40 so far!
This afternoon Family Time was cancelled so Mrs Macdonald set up the PS3 and we started a Just Dance competition. We have some amazing dancers in class, especially Jack and Glen.
We have a busy week again next week.
Remember indoor shoes everyone and remember to dress up on Thursday for World Book Day.
Athletics Festival
Well done to the 6 people who represented our class at tonight’s athletics festival. They all did really well. Well done!
