We had fun celebrating Red Nose Day in P7 by creating red nose photos!
We applied our learning about superimposing pictures onto photographs using the remove background feature on Word.
Do you like our red noses?!

EAC Junior Youth Conference 2021
Our P7 boys did a fantastic job on Friday representing our school at the East Ayrshire Council Junior Youth Conference. The conference focused on the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child, and how our learning links with our rights.
They used menti to answer questions and put forward their opinions and now have lots of ideas to take forward our Rights Respecting Schools Silver Award!
Climate Change Art
We have been enjoying learning about the COP26 event in Glasgow and really interested about the climate crisis. We watched a clip from David Attenborough’s “Frozen Planet” and discussed his impact statement about melting ice caps:
In the past 30 years, we’ve seen these effects of global warming escalate: areas of Arctic sea ice have melted that is larger than Norway, Sweden and Denmark combined. Summer sea ice in the Arctic has reduced by 40% in 40 years.
We created these polar bear images in response to the climate crisis, using water colours and black markers.
This links with Article 12 from the UNCRC “Every child has the right to have a say in all matters affecting them, and to have their views taken seriously”.
Class Charter
Our new class charter is displayed in our classroom!
There are no imposters among us in Primary 7!
The class charter sets out our rights and responsibilities in the classroom, how the teacher will help ensure our rights are fulfilled, and which UN articles we feel are most important for our learning.
Class Charter
Today Primary 7 started building towards their class charter.
We discussed the SHANARRI indicators (Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible, Included) and how they link to some of the UN Children’s Rights articles.
We chose 8 articles in our groups to best represent each of the SHANARRI indicators and matched them up.
Our next step is to plan a theme for our class charter and choose our final 5 core rights for our class charter.
