During maths week P7 have done lots of different activities such as a maths show we went to and a Sumdog competition.
When we went to the maths show we were greeted by a clown who taught us all about how balloons can be used to measure things.
P7 also did a maths treasure hunt and stem activities related to maths such as a Shannon switching game and computer games.
Primary 7 are feeling very energised after taking part in the Big Morning Move with Joe Wicks for BBC Children in Need. A great start to the day raising money for a great cause!
In the community group, we explored the idea of our local community in Heathhall. We used interactive street view maps to find our school and our own homes. We also zoomed out to get a great idea of our place in the world.
P6/7 have been taking part in a rotation of STEM activities.
STEM stands for Science , Technology, Engineering and Maths.
We are split into 5 groups. 2 groups do STEM activities, a group practises Spelling, a group plays Sumdog and another group does Accelerated Reading.
For our first time doing STEM we had to make a LEGO marble maze and spaghetti tower with plasticine
and spaghetti.
On our second week of STEM rotation we made seed poppers and oobleck out of cornflower and water.
For our third week of STEM rotation we made a tinfoil boat and we filled them with 1 pence coins to see whos could hold the most weight. For the second activity we had to build a lego bridge and find out whos could hold the most weight James’s held the most since it was strong enough to hold all the weights.
On our fourth week of STEM rotation we did a lot of experimenting like we had to experiment on which side is your dominant. The other activity we did was to experiment with shadows and flashlights.
On the 8th of November P7 walked to the Aviation Museum to go to the Remembrance service. Before the 2 minutes silence they learnt about an aircraft pilot that crashed far way from home. Then they did a 2 minutes silence to show respect to the soldiers that fought for us during war.
After the silence Lucy, Eva, Harley, Grace, Talan and Jessica laid a wreath. Then they went to see the spitfire. The spitfire was named after the place it crashed, Loch Doon.
We went to the museum where we looked into bombing planes and life back in the war.
We then went to see a top secret American Glider which is extremely rare and is not open to the public yet.
Primary seven were very honored to be invited.

In September an MSP came to visit P6 and told us all about the Scottish Parliament, how laws are passed and how important it is to vote. She gave us a piece of paper with one side saying “Scottish” and the other side saying “Great Britain” and we had to choose who created the laws. We then created political parties and we had to share our manifesto with the class. Afterwards we had to vote for the party we wanted to be elected.
