P7 Sports Captains
Introducing our newly appointed Sports Captains.
We look forward to lots of sporting events organised throughout the year.
Well done to our enthusiastic p7 leaders.
P7 Bikeability Level 2
Cycling Scotland Bikeability 2
Primary 7 successfully completed level 2 bikeability after 5 days of cycling over the last month. Thanks again to Lynsey Murphy our Active Schools Coordinator for helping Mrs Ross to deliver these sessions on the roads in Fenwick
Bikeability Level 2 takes place on single lane roads with simple junctions and moderate traffic, after a rider has successfully demonstrated level 1 skills. Riders learn to make good and frequent observations, communicate their intentions clearly to other road users, decide on and use the most suitable riding position, understand priorities on a road and make decisions about when people wait and when people go.
P7 Leadership Training
P7 Leadership Training
Today we took part in a day of training to support us to become leaders across the school.
Blair came and share his knowledge of tennis coaching with us and we learned what makes a good leader, how to be a good leader and to reflect on the difficulties of being an effective leader.
We had lots of fun practising these skills in the classroom and in the gym hall.
Our next step is to put these skills to use and deliver some tennis lessons across the school.
P7 Paired Reading
Paired Reading with our P1 Buddies
We shared our love of reading with our P1 buddies.
We read them the books they had chosen from the Mobile Library Van. Primary 1 were very excited to visit our classroom too.
P7 Bikeability Level 1
Bikeability Level 1
Today we brought our bikes to school and spent the day in the playground developing our riding skills. Thanks to Lynsey Murphy our Active Schools Coordinator for helping us complete this with Mrs Ross.
We practised the skills needed to develop basic cycle control skills and to gain the confidence to use our bikes more often.
Level 1 outcomes:
1. Demonstrate understanding of safety equipment and clothing
2. Carry out a simple bike check
3. Get on and off the bike without help
4. Start off and pedal without help
5. Stop without help
6. Ride along without help for roughly one minute or more
7. Make the bike go where they want
8. Use gears (where present)
9. Stop quickly with control
10.Manoeuvre safely to avoid objects
11.Look all around, including behind, without loss of control
12.Control the bike with one hand
We all showed excellent confidence and completed all the outcomes and were delighted to receive our Bikeability Level 1 Certificates.
P7 Visit from PC Rae
PC Rae Visit
Today we enjoyed a visit from our new Campus Cop, PC Rae.
She spoke to us about the importance of staying safe when using social media and accessing the internet.
We learned about the importance of staying safe when uploading photos, asking permission, age restrictions for social media sites and different online games and what to do if we need to report any inappropriate content.
P7 House Captain Elections
House Captain Elections
We worked really hard to write inspirational and motivating speeches to persuade our House Peers to vote for us as House Captains and Vice Captains.
This was a very nerve racking experience and we developed our confidence and resilience to complete this task. All the adults in the school were very impressed with how well written everyone’s speeches were and how confident they were talking in front of their peers.
Although we had some disappointment in the class, everyone dealt with this very well and were supportive of each other and celebrated each others success.
A great learning experience for all the Primary 7s.
Mr Houston then presented the House Captains and Vice Captains badges at the Award Assembly.
Well done to:
Dunlop : Harriet, Scarlett
Fowlds: Norah, Elvie
Howie: Kade, Gracie
Fulton : Murray and Amelia
P7 Class Charter
Class Charter
We explored the UNCRC Articles and choose the ones most relevant to our classroom.
We discussed who the Rights Holders in our class are and how they would respect the rights of everyone in our class and added our expectations to each article. We also linked these articles to our school values of Respect, Honesty, Ambition and Kindness.
We worked in groups to explore the role of the Duty Bearers in our classroom. Mrs Ross added her statements to our class charter and we discussed what our class would feel like, look like and sound like. We then agreed on our class expectations and signed our charter.
Finally we created our own Among Us Characters to the charter to complete our display.
P7 Learning About our School House Names
Fulton Fowlds Dunlop Howie
To prepare for our House Captain Speeches and to learn a little bit more about the names of our School Houses, we completed some research on the laptops.
We learned about John Fulton who invented the Orrery, and was a notable mathematician. Matthew Fowlds who was the last remaining hand loom weaver in the area and died after his 100th birthday. The Dunlop family who were a famous Covenanting Family in the area. John Howie, who was born near Fenwick in Lochgoin Farmhouse which provided refuge to the Covenanters.
We discovered that all of these important Fenwick people are buried in the village. So we decided to go and explore the village and find their memorial stones.
