We’ve had an incredibly busy week, full of Science experiments, fitness, skipping, multiplication and rounding numbers.

What a busy week we have had in P7.

In Science we made our own sedimentary rocks.

In Social Studies we have been learning about Democracy and our government.  On Thursday we learned what democracy means and then did a group task based on the differences between a democracy and a dictatorship.  On Friday we started looking at the different levels of government and researched the local councillors for our Ward in East Ayrshire Council.

In PE, we are continuing to develop our jump rope skills and have started linking footwork together to make our own skipping routines.  We also got the big ropes out and had a go of jumping in and out of them.

With all this busy work we definitely need some chill time too, so we make sure to include a bit of E.R.I.C. time every day.  This stands for “Everyone Reads In Class” and is an important part of the Reading Schools award that we are hoping to achieve this year.

What a busy week for our first full week in P7!

In science we have been learning about materials and have learned to identify different types of rocks.

In Social Studies we had a discussion about what we know about Democracy.

In PE we continued to build on our jump rope and skipping skills from last year.

Our PE days for the term are Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please make sure that you have suitable footwear and shorts or leggings with you on both of these days.  All jewellery must be removed for PE – ideally before school to help prevent things getting lost or misplaced.  Thanks for your support with this.
