For this week’s homework the P7s have to complete this logic problem.  It is due in on Friday 6th March.

We are still waiting on quite a few of the sheets to be handed in from last week.

This is week one of our Numeracy homework block. Worksheets linked to previous learning will be sent home on a Monday to be returned on the Friday.  This block will run for three weeks. Any questions please contact the school office.

Thanks

A wee sneak peak of P7 from photo day… stay tuned for the official photo.

On Thursday we had fun taste testing different Scottish and Finnish snacks and we compared them and rated them out of ten.  We sampled Tunnock’s Teacakes and Shortbread from Scotland and Kex Bars and Choco TV Mix from Finland.

The Teacakes were a clear favourite. The Choco TV mix was very popular as there were so many different flavours in the pack although we discovered the white Lakrifun sweets were actually liquorice, which was an unwelcome surprise for some!

It’s been another busy week in P7. This week we started our photography topic. We explored what makes a good photo and went outside to practise taking some landscape and portrait photos of our own.

We also had a trip to the Science Centre where we  explored all three floors and a trip to IMAX to watch the animal kingdom documentary. A few of us got some jump frights as reptiles and sharks came our way thanks to the 3D glasses

On Thursday we put our cooking skills to the test by making a delicious pot of lentil soup.  We chopped up onions, peeled and grated carrots and sliced leeks to add to the lentils and vegetable stock. Our patience was rewarded in the afternoon when we got to tuck in to a tasty cup of soup, complete with a slice of soft white bread to dip in.

We had a visit from Miss Naismith from the RBA this week. She is one of the guidance teachers and she came with some senior pupils to talk to us about things like the different subjects and how the timetables work.  The Primary 7s listened so well and asked some great questions too.

As part of our Scottish topic, we have been looking at bridges such as the Forth Road bridge.  We were set a challenge to build our own bridge and see how much weight it could hold.

We also finished off our Scottish Castle 3D models.  Don’t they look fabulous?

We had a very busy week in P7. The children were fabulous hosts to our guests from the East Ayrshire Learning Visit. The visitors commented on how polite, friendly and welcoming they were and said they were an absolute credit to the school.

We have been busing getting stuck into our Scotland focus.  At the start of the week we researched castles then made our own 3D models of the castles.

We did a spot of Scottish poetry writing on Friday, based on the poem “Lament for a Lost Dinner Ticket” and chose our own things to write about.  The poems were absolutely fabulous and we’ll be proudly displaying them in the corridors for everyone to see.

We also discussed Scottish foods and are hoping to make some tasty dishes in the next couple of weeks for Health and Wellbeing.

After a very eventful start to the week we settled back in and started all our new topics and areas of work.

In PE we started our basketball focus and lesson one was all about dribbling and staying in control of the ball.

In  maths we started learning about Fractions, Decimals and Percentages with a focus on fractions to start.  We completed several activities to help us revise equivalent fractions.

We’ve had a fantastic time at the Pantomime yesterday and then a lovely day playing games and flexing our skills on the Karaoke!

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and we’ll see you bright and early on Monday 5th January 2026!
