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.

P7 Newsletter – Term 3

Primary 7 had great fun at their Christmas Party playing games and dancing! Juice and crisps were needed after a shot at The Gay Gordons!

Primary 7 enjoyed creating Christmas Elf Stories using Adobe Express.

We all planned out our story and then we used Adobe Express to bring our stories to life. We generated our own elf using AI and then created our own books.

We then shared these stories with Primary 1.

We developed our creativity, leadership, adapting and communicating skills while writing our stories.

Please ask us to log in to Glow at home and share our stories with you!

Primary 7 were lucky to be chosen to participate in a Flock Ceramics project.

Clare came to visit and told us all about her career using clay to manufacture different objects.

We all got a chance to experiment with the clay and she demonstrated different techniques. We were able to be creative and design our own object.

We then all made our own unique bird which will be displayed as part of a larger art exhibition which we can all visit.

Lauryn – It was really fun and interesting.

Rocco- It was fantastic to get an opportunity to work with clay.

Lawrence – We got to be creative and I loved designing my own unique bird.

Adriana – It was messy and that made it fun.

Primary 7 had great fun developing their digital literacy skills as part of Digital Winter Week Scotland.

We took part in different workshops where we learnt how to design an interesting winter badge on Adobe Express and created a winter snow scene using our coding skills on Scratch.

The activities were quite challenging but it was great to see our finished designs.

It was good to develop our coding skills and learn something new.

Please ask us to login at home and show you our work!

Primary 7 Digital Leaders have been visiting classes to teach children how to code the Micro:bits to play Jingle Bells.

That have loved developed their leadership skills and the younger children have enjoyed learning something new.

On Wednesday 19th November we went to visit the Science Centre as part of our topic on Space. When we arrived we had snack and then we went to the iMax cinema where we watched a film. We had to wear special 3D glasses and we thought it was extraordinary!

We then had a chance to explore the first floor where we tried out lots of optical illusions. It was very exciting.

Then we had a break for lunch.

After lunch we went to the second floor and tried out some activities that tested our memory. It was fantastic.

Finally we visited the third floor where there were lots of activities based around the human body. It was brilliant.

Overall we all really enjoyed our day!
