At the end of our sessions on food and health we made our own fruit kebabs. Tescos donated the fruit, and each group prepared one type of fruit. We were amazed at how far some of the fruit had travelled!

We used various skills to create our autumn pictures.

• colour mixing
• printing
• observational
• design

We had to think what was important in our lives. Family, friends, pets, hobbies, past times……

We created a visual; representation.

As part of our dance sessions we have been creating dances around different themes. These photos are of our animal dances.

As part of the National Coding Week we devised our own routines using a grid. We had to add in one person after each routine.

In Skills Academy, we have been preparing fruit to make fruit kebabs. We talked about being safe and not hurting ourselves. We enjoyed eating our fruit kebabs that we made.

On Thursday 6th October P7 went to visit DGOne in order to participate in Operation Safety.

We visited lots of activities which were connected with the emergency services. – Ria

At the ‘Fire’ station we had to throw a pretend rocket and whichever card it landed on we had to decide whether we could burn it on a bonfire or not.

In one of the activities we went into a room and saw a body lying on the floor. We had to decide how to respond in this situation. We learnt how to place someone in the recovery position. – Leah

At the water safety station we got to see how the fire service dress when they are going to save someone. We learnt what we should do when someone is drowning in the water. – Ava

When visiting Scottish Power we had to figure out how to stay safe around electricity.- Corrie

At the police activity we talked about online safety and made a video about how to stay safe online.- Aila

Next we visited the Youth Work station where we were talking about who our role models were and why. – Grace

I thought that Operation Safety was fun and we learned a lot. – Kacey.

We developed our teamwork and communication skills while we were at Operation Safety.- Skye

This term Primary 7 have been working on Technologies during skills academy.  We focussed on engineering and design briefs.

During the first week we created a Powerpoint based on all the different disciplines. We worked in groups to do this. -Jaiden.

In week 2 we needed to create a carriage to travel down a zip line. The teacher told us what we could use.  I found this challenge fun and our carriage didn’t work but if we had another chance we would know how to fix it. – CJ

During week 3 we had to make a logo for our Ferris wheel by finding a picture and adding the text we wanted on it. We developed our graphic design skills. – Moaz

We were put into groups to make a ferris wheel out of cardboard and other materials. The Ferris wheel had to stand, spin and carry passengers. I enjoyed this STEM challenge and it was fun watching other groups. During this I developed my creativity, communication and problem solving skills.- Reuben

Have a look at some of the work we have been doing with Mr Sharp in PE. 

We were working on basketball skills. 

A class charter tells you your rights – Harris.
