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.
