P7 STEM Event at Loudoun Academy
P 7 STEM Event
We had a fantastic day of learning at Loudoun Academy.
We enjoyed meeting Primary 7s from across our cluster primary schools.
Mrs Ross was extremely proud of how we displayed our school values as we moved around the activities and engaged with respect and ambition.
P7 Book Week Scotland
We loved spending time this week reading for pleasure and learning about how authors create and publish their stories.
We loved learning from Inspector Fleming, PC Rae, Hannah Willow and all our Parent Readers. Thank you to everyone who came along and helped share their love of reading with us.
It was fun sharing our love of books with younger pupils.
We even took part in the St Andrew’s Day Reading Record Attempt with schools across Scotland.
P7 Hallhouse Visit
We were invited to Hallhouse Care Home to celebrate with them as part of their 30th birthday celebrations.
The residents were delighted to have us back and recognised us from our visits in Primary 5.
P7 Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day
Today we walked to Fenwick Cemetery to visit the war graves of two of the soldiers that are named on our War Memorial. We took some flowers and a poppy cross to lay on their graves and remember them.
We were pleased to see that the head stones had been cleaned and taken care of but we gave them a little brush and wash to make sure they looked well cared for.
In school we learned about the meaning of the poppy and created a display as a mark of respect.
P7 Whole School House Challenge
Last week our House and Vice Captains organised a whole school Kahoot Quiz challenge.
They visited every class and organised everyone in to their House Team and set the quiz running.
We hope that the house points will boost the running totals for each house team.
P6/7 Cross Country
Well done to our Cross Country Team who represented Fenwick Primary School at the East Ayrshire Cross Country Schools Event last week.
The team warmed up together, motivated and encouraged each other. They even made up their own cheer leading chant!
We looked the part in our Fenwick Kit!
Each runner gave their best and ran with determination! We were all incredibly proud of their amazing efforts. Well done everyone, what a fabulous team !
P7 Killieween
Happy Killieween
Brilliant costumes everyone!
Fun and spookiness in the Primary 7 classroom.
Then a great time was had at the P4-P7 party in the afternoon.
P7 Visit from Stewart Finlay
P7 Learning in our Community
Today we had a fabulous day of learning with a visit from Stewart Finlay who is the Chairperson for the Kilmarnock branch of the Royal British Legion Scotland.
As part of our WWII topic, we asked him to help us research the names on the Fenwick War Memorial from WWII.
Stewart visited us and brought us the information about who every name was, where they had fallen during WWII and where they are buried. He had found stories about all the men and where they had come from in Fenwick and what regiment they belonged to.
We learned that two of the soldiers are buried in the cemetery in Fenwick. This has inspired us to visit their graves and take flowers for Armistice Day.
Stewart also brought along his medals and some jackets worn by veterans after the war in the 1950s. Stewart shared his knowledge with us and stories of his life in the army.
We were all really engaged by the stories that were shared and they have inspired us to research some family members that Primary 7 have who also fought in WWII.
P7 150th Anniversay Launch
Well done to our amazing House and Vice Captains. They spoke with confidence and pride during the launch coffee morning for our school celebrations.
Primary 7 sang ‘We’ll Meet Again’ by Vera Lynne to the audience to represent our decade of the 1940s.
Many guests commented on how impressed they were by how confident and respectful our Primary 7 representatives were during the morning.
Well done everyone!
