Our parents were invited in for an open afternoon. Our afternoon was very sporty and we took part in different sports. We used meta skills such as adapting, leading and focussing. It was a fun afternoon.

We went outside to create pictures of different creatures. We had to use materials which we found outside. We created creatures such as snakes, butterflies and snails! We used our creativity, critical thinking and adapting skills. We thought it was really fun.

We are settling into life in Primary 7B!

This year we are looking forward to have different roles and responsibilities within the school.

P7B Newsletter – Term 1

We have been settling into life in our new class, P7B. During this time we have been getting to know each other and developing new routines.

We have been learning about META skills.  META skills are divided into 3 categories, Self-management, innovation and social intelligence. We learned about the different META skills which come  under these headings.  We worked in groups to create a poster explaining the different META skills.  We completed activities in small groups where we had to use different skills to complete challenges such as counting to 21, building a shoe tower and making paper aeroplanes. These activities used lots of different META skills such as communication, creativity, adapting, collaborating, focussing, sense making, critical thinking, leading and initiative.

We created rainbow clouds to share positive qualities about each other.

We developed our maths skills when creating a ‘Figure Me Out’ challenge relating to information about ourselves. This developed our critical thinking and focus skills.

We also worked on creating our class charter. This developed our creativity, adapting, collaborating and communication skills.

We learnt about online safety and cyber resilience and created ‘Be SMART’ posters. This used our creativity, integrity and sense making skills.

We created recipes relating to our summer holidays where we shared our favourite activities. This developed our focussing, critical thinking and creativity skills.

We were inspired by a clip from the musical Matilda and wrote about our own ambitions ‘When we grow up…’

We went outside to create stone family portraits to share with the school.

Today we were lucky enough to have the Bike Cinema at Heathhall Primary. We had created short films using MovieMaker which we were then able to view on the large screen.

We had to keep pedalling to make sure the screen stayed on.
