Soundtrap

Every second Tuesday we make music on Soundtrap with John and Roo. We have lots of fun developing our creativity skills.  We are able to make music in lots of different styles.  We can express ourselves through the different styles which we create. We have to think about the number of beats and bars in our tracks as well as the different musical instruments.

We have developed our communicating and collaborating skills as well as our creativity skills.

On Tuesday 1st October P7 attended Operation Safety at DGOne. During the day they took part in a variety of different workshops which were all based around the them of keeping safe.

The workshops were presented by the Fire Service, Scottish Ambulance, Youth Work, Scottish Power and Police Scotland.

Hydropower

Primary 7 took part in a webinar with DRAX in order to learn all about hydro power.

After the webinar P7 used their focus, collaborating, adapting and critical thinking skills in order to create a turbine which would turn when placed in water. We used Strawbees to construct our turbines. We were all very successful.
