P7 Newsletter – Term 4

Primary 7 went to Dumfries High School to carry out some science activities. We were learning all about dissolving and the best temperatures for substances to dissolve. We used different chemicals and got to try different science equipment. We really enjoyed it and can’t wait to go back. We developed our collaborating, critical thinking and focussing skills.

As part of World Book Day P7 visited P1/2 to work together to create bookmarks. They had great fun developing their leadership and collaborating skills and there were some very creative bookmarks at the end!

On Wednesday 10th March Lauryn, Lawrence and Murray took part in the Primary Enterprising Maths Challenge. They had to create a poster sharing the history of money and then took part in a variety of maths challenges. They all did very well and came out as overall winners on the day! Congratulations to our champions! 🌟

On Monday 8th March PC Matthews visited us to discuss Internet Safety. She shared lots of helpful advice and encouraged us to think about ways to keep ourselves safe when accessing social media.

We created Viking brooches using clay. We choose the shape which we wanted and then we added detail to our brooch.  Once our brooch was dry we painted them.

We used our creativity, leadership and focussing skills.

In Primary 7 we all created our own maths games.  We worked in groups and had to base our games on questions relating to fractions, decimals and percentages. We all came up with different themes and designs for our board games. Once we had finished our game we all played our own game and then we swapped games and played each others games.

The meta skills we developed were communication, creativity, collaborating, leadership and focussing.

We all enjoyed this because we worked together!

On Tuesday 10th February the Young Digital Leaders visited every class in the school to share the message about how to remain safe when using AI.

They carried out a variety of activities with children sharing their understanding of what AI is and how to use it responsibly.
