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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
