P7 have been busy again this week starting the organisation for our fundraising Victorian themed Christmas Fayre in a few weeks times!!

The pupils have been busy researching and learning all about what it was like to live within Victorian times. We watched the Muppets Christmas Carol this week. Making notes while watching on aspects of Victorian life.

Pupils took part in the bbcs live lesson on Friday. This linked with Doctor who and taught pupils lots of interesting information about space.

There was a lot of excitement in class this week with a “new member” joining P7M! The class are very happy to welcome Kevin to our classroom.

Just a reminder that next week is a shorter week with pupils off on Thursday and Friday due to in-service days.

In maths this week we have been learning a bit about place value. We were rolling a dice 50 times to see what are mode would be and if it would change.We also made a bar chart on the frequency of the numbers.

In topic we all worked together to create a timeline in history, It was a competition between all Primary 7 classes to see who could get it the fastest. We also watched an informative video all about WW1 (World War One) and we learnt lots of new things about the war.

In PE we have been doing all types of Gymnastics stations like a Springboarding, Climbing frame, ropes and some yoga poses.

In writing we had Miss Hamilton read us a children’s book all about online safety and we had to write a story just like it with different characters and settings but the same storyline.

We also had a visit from Kate who spoke to us all about things that might worry us about highschool and gave us lots of helpful tips.

We have had a very busy month of October in Primary 7M with lots of fun activities and learning.

Before the holidays the class got to take part in a Science lesson creating Slime! This meant that the pupils needed to measure out ingredients and create a write up of our experiment.

Pupils were developing their Growth Mindsets with a diamond nine challenge where they were ordering characteristics of becoming an effective learner into an order that they thought was most important. We then discussed the orders that each group chose and why.

Pupils lead our reading lesson through their enthusiasm and enjoyment of the books that they were reading and created book reviews to recommend the books to others.

Primary 7 planned and organised a fantastic sharing and learning assembly and afternoon. The pupils put so much effort and hard work into creating an informative assembly on Growth Mindset! Pupils then invited parents back to the class to teach them about Growth Mindset.

During outdoor learning day pupils demonstrated their knowledge of the body systems, created their own games to help improve a concept within maths and then used materials from the outdoors to create a character and a description of their character. Pupils were all very enthusiastic about the activities and the sun thankfully joined us for our day learning outside!
