In Mathletics we have been working extremely hard every week/day to gain certificates – gold, silver or bronze.
To get a bronze you need to get 1000 points, to get a silver you need 5 bronze and to get a gold you need 4 silvers – so a lot of hard work!
After all that hard work, 2 members of our class have gotten gold certificate so we celebrated their achievement – well done Isobel and Cerys!!

So in the past weeks we have been doing all these crazy activities for example…A Dodge-ball tournament, yoga, Burns assembly, Zack postcards with a magnifying glass(!), etc… but what we are away to talk about is our spitfire drawing’s.
A spitfire is a plane from WW2. It was used during the war for attacking enemy planes and bombing enemy territory. We tried to draw these machines and we all think that they are all good. But first off you need to know that in WWII spitfires had logos on them, and they were called nose art like some nose arts were famous during their time period. These nose arts were brewing a giant store because big names like MICKEY MOUSE, DONALD DUCK and OOR WILLIE. The Americans ended up doing the same thing but with their cartoon characters.

Have a look at what our spitfires look like and one of the written guides below! We’ll make sure to update with some of our finished pictures!
In PE we’ve been learning about gymnastics, with our PE teacher, Miss Fraser. So far we’ve done handstands, cartwheels, shoulderstands, forwards and backwards rolls, teddy bear rolls, round offs, pencil roll and lots more!
Handstands:
We did handstands on the first week of the new term. Miss Fraser had set up stations around the gym to help us do our handstands as good as we could. For the first station we paired up and shared a mat together. The first person would try a handstand while the other person supported them by holding their hips while the other person was still in the position. By the end of all of the stations all of us could do a handstand with or without support!
Cartwheels:
Last week in PE we were doing cartwheels. Miss Fraser set up some different stations around the gym again, but this time to help us with our cartwheels. In the first station we had 2 benches. On the first bench we had to do some bunny jumps to get used to going over it. After we were comfortable with it, we practiced doing slow motion cartwheels to practice the motion. After that we went onto the second bench. On the second bench we were doing high-kicks. We had to figure out which leg was our strong leg and practice kicking as high as we could when trying to do a cartwheel. By the end of all of the stations most of us were able to do a cartwheel without the bench as support!

Today an experienced first aider called Tom Malcolm told us all about first aid. We learned loads of information including:
What to do when some one is choking,
What to do if some one is having an asthma attack,
We also learned the Aims of First Aid (Why do we do First Aid, Action plans, Getting help and Initial assessments)
We learned DRAB (Danger, Response, Airway and Breathing)
Also we learned about all of the different types of inhalers.
There are blue ones, red ones, purple ones and brown ones.
The most common / effective inhaler is the blue one.
Remember to call 112 if you are in an accident not 999 because that is the old number.
keep safe!
On Tuesday the 17th of January, a special guest came in. His name was Nick Hesketh, who is an author that has wrote The story of Mull and Iona, Bodkin keeper of Marsh and Bodkin and the big city. He came here to tell us about how to write a good story. Here are Nick’s 6 golden rules:
Here are some more of Nick’s ideas to make a wonderful, fantastic, amazing, fabulous story.
We used those rules to write a paragraph which continued into a story, which we’re writing in class right now.
Some of the stories are about:
The workshop was really fun and we all learned so much from one visit.

To express yourself means to be loyal and respectful to your inner taste and style.
Not many people do this as for some people expressing yourself is sometimes very hard.
This was just as Malala felt. Here is her story:
Malala Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan. As a child, she was not allowed an education, which resulted in the Taliban issuing a death threat against her. On October 9, 2012, a gunman shot Malala when she was traveling home from school in a bus. She was sent in a plane to the UK for treatment. It took a long time but she survived. And that made her want an education even more.
She expressed herself and now she goes to school.
Never be afraid to express yourself!
Have a look at the amazing poster we made as a class and Kieron’s impressive drawing of Malala.

This week we have been making Christmas cards for our book buddies (See the post) and the community.
We were doing Christmas cards for the community because they don’t have any family to celebrate Christmas with and we thought it’s a good idea to give them a Merry Christmas.
To be able to do the cards, we had to ask Stella Campbell (the minister of the church,) because she would be sending them and she looks after the community. She helps people who are lonely and need help with their daily routines.
We have had lots of great ideas to do on the cards such as:
We had lots of fun doing them and we are glad to help people.

On the 9th of December we had a P4-7 achievements assembly. All the classes got together to share our achievements. The teachers chose some pupils who have had an achievement this year so far. The people from P7F were:
It is important to recognise each other’s achievements, so as a school we are going to try and have these assembly’s more often.
