What’s happening in P7?

April 29, 2019 User deactivated 3 Comments

It’s been non stop in primary seven recently! Term 4 is always a busy one and with transitions to secondary school, residential visits and a leavers assembly things won’t slow down any time soon!

We recently had a fabulous trip to Dumfries House where we tried our hand at rock climbing. All our learners we so brave and some of them made it to the very top of the climbing wall! An amazing achievement.

Our next activity was a bit of den building. We worked in teams to create a den we could use to stay warm and dry in the event of a storm. Some really great ideas and collaboration!

Target setting for our final term.

All learners have reflected on their personal targets for numeracy, literacy and health and wellbeing from term three and have set themselves new targets to focus on this term.

Learners have developed their understanding of target setting language over the academic year and are developing an understanding of measurable and achievable goals.

Look out for our personal blogs this week where we will be sharing our reflections and confirming targets for this term.

Where did January go?

Primary 7 had a very busy January with a Scottish history and language focus.

We visited Burns House Museum in Mauchline and took part in drama and shadow puppet workshops which recreated the story of Tam O’Shanter. We also got to take a tour around the museum and heard some great facts about Robert Burns.

Our annual Scots poetry competition included three primary seven pupils who took on the poetry of Robert Burns . They worked really hard on their delivery to put on some wonderful performances and we are all so proud of them.

A massive well done to Ellie and Frazer for coming joint runners up and to John who not only won the primary seven heat but was the overall competition winner!

Primary seven were really lucky to be trained by the Ayrshire speech and language therapists to help with their campaign, Getting wee people chatting. In the coming weeks they will be working with their primary 1 buddies to support their language development. Remember to ask your child all about their training!

We were also really lucky to have a visit from charity NIL by Mouth. We explored sectarianism and it’s impact on society. This fits in with our on-going learning in Health and Wellbeing around respect and celebrating differences.
