Day: March 22, 2018

On Wednesday the 21st of March P7 invited their parents and grandparents into class to find out about the learning they have been doing this term.  It was a super afternoon ran by the children and we were extremely happy so many people could attend.  We entertained everyone with some music from our Charanga Music scheme, the song we chose to do was Happy by Pharrell Williams.  A good choice as it was one everyone seemed to know.  We also had 4 Scottish poems to share.  After that the children ran various activities to share their learning.  We had a game of Guess Who in French as well as French animal Bingo and a colour by numbers activity.  In maths we had parents creating pie charts and calculating the decimal fraction, fraction and percentages of coloured skittles in a packet as well as timing our parents on the Strong Maths mental challenges.  Outside some P7’s were running hockey and rugby drills and games as well as organising a World Book Day treasure hunt in the forest.  It was nice to see how well the children could teach others new skills including how to play Bridge and also to weave on paper plates.  The children were glad to hear your feedback it was all really positive and we will certainly aim to improve next time – I believe a bigger space and tea, coffee and cakes would be appreciated! We will see what we can do! Thank you again and well done P7

Primary 7 finished off their unit of work on angles with a maths challenge in the forest this week.  They were to come up with a 2D shape or 3D structure which included at least one triangle showing angles adding to 180 degrees.  They had to use 20 sticks and include each type of angle a right, straight, acute, obtuse and reflex angle. Some of the children were even able to identify some corresponding and alternate angles too.  I think we all enjoyed the task as well as some nicer weather for a change!  Back in class we are printing out our designs so that we can estimate and measure the angles we created.  Well done to Tony, Luca and Josh who make a really interesting, huge  angular frame in the trees, fabulous teamwork and also to Nicole who created a fascinating angular mobile.  Jake, Mikey and Tony were able to use a coloured cube code to show all their angles and worked extremely well together on task finishing ahead of everyone! Super work P7.
