On Friday 28th May we did a house quiz. The house captains had created different categories. We all had great fun!

Abertay University posted a video containing a challenge to build a bridge with a span of 75cm  that could hold 250g.

We had to bring in various recyclable materials that we could build the bridges from.

We had to decide between building a compression or tension bridge.

We then planned out our bridge and decided on materials and the bridge type-Arch, Girder, Truss, Suspension, Moveable, Cable- Stayed and Cantilever.

We then formed partners and began the building. We followed our plan to build the bridge and we used our creativity skills. Some bridges worked whilst others did not so we used our initiative to make improvements.

The upper school have been working with MicroBits.

We have been making flashing images.

The digital leaders in our classes have been helping us and teaching us about MicroBits.

We programmed the MicroBits to show our name as well as making games on our MicroBits.

We thought it was interesting and fun and in order to do it we used our coding skills to programme the MicroBits.

Since we returned to school we have been very busy! Here is a snapshot of some of the things we have been doing…..

We have been doing different types of persuasive writing including persuasive letters about Caterpillar cakes and School uniform. We also wrote a debate opening statement on whether children should have mobile phones.

We created Trees of Life – These included our Wishes and Dreams, important people in our lives and things we are good at.

Over the past couple of weeks we have taken part in a range of Sports Day activities including Potted Sports, Flat race, Long distance run, Egg and Spoon and skipping races. We are currently doing our Sports Champion events

We were using our 5 sense to create questions about nature.  e.g. How does grass grow?

We have been creating posters which provide advice for a woman about how to stay healthy during pregnancy.

We have been using Scratch to create amazing animations by carrying coding activities guided by our Digital Leaders Alex and Jake.

Since returning from home learning back to Primary 7 all the children have been very busy. We are all really happy to be back in school with our friends.

In numeracy, we have been doing work on Numeracy Ninjas. Numeracy Ninjas is where we have to answer 30 questions as accurately as we can in order to work towards a black belt. Also in numeracy we have been working on percentages in number talks and mental maths.  Also in numeracy we have been collecting, displaying and analysing data. We have used Microsoft Forms and Excel to do this. We have also been looking at finance and interest rates.

In literacy, we have been working on our persuasive techniques to develop our writing. We wrote letters to Aldi or Marks and Spencers regarding the argument with Cuthbert and Collin the Caterpillars, we looked at different persuasive techniques. We created persuasive adverts about a custom product using the green screen. We also chose issues that were important to us and structured debates.

Also in literacy we have been looking at different types of poetry. We made Sonnets about Spring and Lockdown Life. When writing the Sonnets we had to think about syllables, rhyme and imagery.

Also in literacy we did creative writing on a villain we created and drew. We had to focus on adjectives, setting and characterisation.

In HWB, we have been learning about menstruation, we have been learning about the cycle and strategies to improve our mental health.

In P.E we have been practising for sports day. We have been taking part in different activities that count towards sports champion. Mr Alison came in and taught us some ball games.

In art, we learned about the techniques the artist Georgia ‘O’ Keefe used and we also created our own flower art. Following on from learning about the 1970’s we created our own pop art in the style of Andy Warhol.

We have learning about the digestive system and the different organs in the human body and their functions.

When we returned to school we created our own tree of life to share information about ourselves.

In digital technologies, we are learning how to create an animation in coding.

Primary 7 have been extremely busy since we got back from home schooling as you can see. We are looking forward to the rest of our term in Primary 7.
