P7 Mr Houston Visit

Leave a comment

Mr Houston 

Today Mr Houston came to talk about our School Values – Honesty, Respect, Kindness and Ambition. We shared with him how we have been living our school values and what we have been doing to demonstrate them in our own lives.

He thanked us for being fabulous ambassadors for our school and praised the work we do in our leadership roles across the school. 

Mr Houston also told us how important it is to carry our school values with us as and be true to our own identity and core values as we move on to high school. 

 

We love welcoming Mr Houston in to our classroom.

Football Success

Well done our fabulous Primary 7 and Primary 6 football team. We continue to make progress together as a team and today we travelled to Loudoun Academy to take part in an inter schools  tournament and a friendly match.

We look fabulous in our Fenwick Team Strip.

Mr Houston complimented their team spirit, positive attitude and improving skills on the football field. Well done everyone! We are proud of you.

Netball League

We were delighted to enter a Netball Team to take part in the East Ayrshire Netball League Tournament at the Rose Reilly Centre in Stewarton. We entered a mixed team of P6 and P7 pupils and were delighted to come in 3rd place.

We demonstrated teamwork, sportsmanship and ambition. Mrs Ross and Miss Jackson were proud of the determination and netball skills that the team demonstrated.

Well done Team Fenwick!

P7 – Learning Out doors

Leave a comment

Friday was filled with sunshine and a day for learning outdoors! 

We went to the garden to read and really enjoyed using our new outdoor library. Everyone took time to relax and read for pleasure for 20 minutes.  Mrs Ross showed us the birds that had been singing in the garden while we were reading.

We then put our books down and played hide and seek together which we all agreed was a favourite part of our day – even the huge spider in the storage boxes that everyone hid in didn’t stop our enthusiasm. 

Next we decided to take our P.E outside and try out the cricket skills that we have been developing with Miss Wales.  After practising our batting and bowling we had a fun mini game. We definitely have some budding cricketers in P7! We used Significant Aspects of Learning (SALs) to identify skills that we could see while we were watching games from the side-lines. 

We are hoping this sunshine lasts when we visit Dalguise next week!

P7 Science Week Day 1

Today we had a visit from Carol Kane from Vattenfall who came to talk to us about climate change. 

We learned about the impact fossils fuels are having on our climate and what we can do to reduce our carbon footprint. Carol shared what Vattenfall are doing  by expanding wind and solar power projects across Europe. 

We enjoyed using the VR headset to explore inside a wind turbine and learn how it works.

P7 World Book Day

World Book Day 

What a great day to celebrate our love of reading for pleasure.

We designed book tokens, took part in a Footy and Booky online national quiz and took part in a book swap.
We designed front covers  to win the wrapped book (we could only read a short blurb from the book and we couldn’t see what the book was) and we read in the hall which had been turned into a reading den.
We then had an online Teams call with Patna Primary to take part in a book cafe where we recommended books to each other and shared what we had been doing as a school and within our community to encourage more reading for pleasure. 

P7 – Teaching P1 to Ceilidh Dance

P.E – Scottish Dancing

We have really enjoyed learning some traditional Scottish Dances. We have learned the Gay Gordons, Flying Scotsman, Canadian Barn Dance, Strip the Willow and Dashing White Sargent.
We have also realised that ceilidh dancing is aerobic exercise! 

We decided that we would like to teach our P1 buddies to dance, since they are also learning about Scottish traditions.
We had lots of fun, giggles and tired buddies!
