P7 had a fantastic experience at the Science Centre testing both their mental and physical ability. The highlight of the day was a visit to the IMAX cinema to see the V.L.T. (Very Large Telescope) in action in 3D!
As part of our work on division we have been working on using our skills to solve a variety of Tarsia Puzzles depending on our groups. We have had to make sure we match our calculations to the correct answers. This isn’t as easy as it seems because at the same time when all of the pieces are correctly placed we should up with a particular shape which could be a rhombus or an equilateral triangle. Some of us have managed to complete them but we don’t want to put up the finished ones as you never know who may be looking…
As part of our work on the Solar System, P7Mc have been working on creating scale diagram using a problem solving approach. They had to draw on their previous learning about circles when working with diameters and use their measuring skills to carefully position their planets in relation to the Sun. Decision making and teamwork were the most inportant skills needed today and as you can see, everyone made a success of their diagrams. 
P7 is visiting Glasgow Science Centre on Wednesday 23 October. The bus will leave the school at 9.00 am and return by 3.00 pm. Your child will need a non fizzy drink, a snack and a packed lunch (if your child receives free meals, lunch can provided by the school).
