Broomhill School P7 Room 22

We have had a very busy week full of dress rehearsals and song practice. Everything is coming together nicely and we’re getting very excited to show our parents all of our hard work next Thursday, the 15th, at  our 1.30pm and 6pm performances.

Today we are taking part in a first aid refresher course.

Today we visited Harlaw to learn more about the Technologies Department.

One of our tasks was to make fish key rings. First we drew around a fish template onto a piece of acrylic plastic. Next we drew and cut relief cuts using a coping saw. Then we cut out the shape of the fish. Finally we smoothed  the edges using files and then wet and dry abrasive cloth.

We also took part in a building challenge, to build the highest tower using one marshmallow and twenty pieces of spaghetti. The tower had to be free standing and the marshmallow had to be at the top of the tower. Other resources we were allowed to use were: instructions, scissors and tape.

Finally we made an advert to market our fish key rings. We had to think of a catchy slogan and display the colours which the key ring could come in.

We’re  practising our P7 show today and rehearsals are going very well! 😃

We’re on the road!!!!!!!

This week Catriona Walker came in to observe our third anti knife/crime lesson. We have all signed the pledge.

Today we did Bikeability!

We were practising signals. It was quite hard at first, but once we got used to it, it was easy!

We were looking over our shoulders and putting our arms out and flapping them three times like a chicken.

Then we were going in circles to help with our balance.

We also took turns to ride our bikes individually.

Then we did the “slow race”. The slow race is a race, but on our bikes and very slowly. If we fell or put our foot down, we were out.
