We made the most of the super Spring weather this week with plenty of time outdoors. We enjoyed a class walk around the village taking in lots of our favourite places. We stopped to enjoy some mindfulness meditation and then collected some sticks/twigs to make Easter bunnies. See if you can spot them at Parents Night. We also experimented with the art of quilling to make beautiful Mother’s Day cards.
On Thursday afternoon we went outside for PE. We took hockey sticks, tennis racquets, balls and skipping ropes and then came up with our own ideas for games.
We created beautiful spring paintings on Thursday and Friday afternoon too. First we painted the ombre effect background then we added a tree silhouette and on Friday we added in the cherry blossom detail. They look amazing so make sure you try to spot them on the walls when you come in for Parents Night.
In P7 this term we have been reading The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne. We have also been learning about World War 2 to link with this. Now that we are finished the book we would like to watch the film so that we can do some comparison work.
The film is rated a ‘12A’ due to some of the themes/content. If you do not wish your child to watch it please contact the school by Monday 24th March 2025.
Today we took part in a live science lesson on Teams, led by Mrs Smith from the Primary Science and Sustainability Development Officer. The lesson was all about water pollution and we had to conduct an experiment to explore the effects of water pollution on marine life. The children all participated so well and took the experiment and the recording of their data very seriously.
It’s been another busy week in P7. Some of the things we’ve got up to this week have been:
