Wifi still terrible at Lockerbie Manor but the children are having a ball! The sun is shining today which is great. Lots of activities planned for today. All in good spirits in our little Lockerbie bubble 🙂

Hello from Lockerbie!

We’re having an excellent time (although the weather has been temperamental) and are all enjoying ourselves. So far the children have taken part in team games, kayaking, canoeing, abseiling, the hi-ropes and team games. As usual the food is excellent and all the pupils are being well fed 🙂

Last night the weather was cold and very rainy so we decided to stay in and the Lockerbie staff organised a quiz for us.

Wifi isn’t great here so we will try and upload photos when we can.

World Book Day

On Thursday 5th March we will be celebrating World Book Day. Along with planned whole school activities, Primary 7 have their own World Book Day home challenges to complete. There will be no spelling homework this week to allow the learners more time to complete the home challenges.

On Thursday the learners can come dressed as their favourite character from a book.

To celebrate World Book Day, and promote reading for enjoyment, there are FREE audio books available here –  https://www.worldbookday.com/world-of-stories/

The cast for the senior summer show ‘Aladdin’ was announced this afternoon. We are very proud of all the pupils who auditioned for parts and the teachers found it difficult to cast the show as the talent was so high! The pupils know that all the parts are important and we can’t wait to start rehearsals.

Scripts will be given out in due course and rehearsals will start shortly in school.

Thank you!

Primary 7 Blog Update

Topic

In Topic we are focusing on Land Uses, The four different types of Land Uses are Tourism, Recreational, Residential and Business/Work. Tourism is used mainly for countries’ economies such as Thailand, UAE and more. Tourism focuses on people entering, leaving or going to a different part of countries. These can be categorised as Outbound, Inbound and Domestic tourism. Recreational Land Uses are places like the Palace Theatre, Burns Mall and Rugby Park. Residential is used for housing areas such as Longpark, Bonnyton, Crosshouse. Business Land Uses are places like Fast Food, Restaurants, Kilmarnock F.C and many shops. We have also been building on our mapping skills by finding and locating information using atlases.

Health & Wellbeing

In Health and Wellbeing, we have been learning about Substance Misuse. We have been learning that alcohol can be addictive and can cause some types of Cancer. Alcohol is also a depressant as well as a toxin. We love our swimming lessons on a Monday. We have all made individual achievements. The Galleon staff have complimented on us on our behaviour and hard work. We have also been building on our gymnastic skills with Mr B. We still do our two PATHS lessons a week focusing on our emotional health and wellbeing.

Numeracy

In Numeracy, we have covered Negative Integers and all fell we have a better understanding of this concept. We have now moved on to Fractions, Decimals and Percentages and continuing our knowledge of Time as our Beyond Number topic. Every day at the start of Numeracy or the end of Numeracy, we do the Fast 5 to revise concepts taught and new skills.

Literacy

This term the focus is non-fiction reading and writing skills. We have been transferring our active comprehension skills to non-fiction books. We have been honing our note taking skills and using our notes to create a new text. We have also reading for enjoyment the Eejits, the Scottish version of Roald Dahl’s “The Twits”.

This term we are looking forward to –

• Dean Park Visit
• The Science Centre
• Lockerbie ( 6 weeks to go!)
