Our very last week in Mearns Primary was emotional! Lots of tears and lots of laughs too!
On Monday we enjoyed our Leavers’ Service where lots of parents watched us receive a variety of nominations and awards and where we sang our hearts out too!
on Tuesday our teachers organised som activities for us including an ice cream van, tattoos, balloon art and a professional freestyle footballer. Unfortunately they couldn’t tattoo or balloon all of us but we had fun in the gym hall anyway. 😊
Another busy week as we near the end of our p7 journey.

We all had an amazing time at our prom, photos of this can be found at our ‘class of 2022’ google classroom.

Hello and welcome to, or back to, the P7.28 Class Blog! Here, I, Kadi, and Kyle will bring you lots of exciting information about our week!
school show
This week went off with a bang, with the amazing P7 School Show! We had so much fun at the show on Monday night, and I think everyone else did too!
Outdoor learning
We had a fabulous fun outdoor learning session where we played a maths game, where we got into teams, and one at a time, ran and grabbed a rock with a number on it, then were given a target number. With the number rocks, we had to form a calculation that equals to the target number! We had so much fun outdoors, but sadly had to come back inside, as a lot of our classmates’ hay fever was starting to kick in.
Personal projects
This week, we’ve started presenting our personal projects! We’ve all learned so much about a lot of things like football clubs (Liverpool by Kyle, Kilmarnock by Dylan CF, etc) Fashion by Bella, Guinea Pigs by Kadi, Avengers by Sophie, Fungi by Naomi, and so much more! Here are some photos!
Welcome me to our weekly blog. This week it’s Kyle reporting. Author visit
On Monday the 30th of May we were very lucky that an author by the name of A.F Steadman came to visit our school and present her lovely new book, Skandar and the Unicorn Thief. The blurb is , just as Skandar’s dream is about to come true, things start to take a more dangerous turn than he could ever have imagined. A dark and twisted enemy has stolen the Island’s most powerful unicorn – and as the threat grows ever closer, Skandar discovers a secret that could blow apart his world forever. She spoke about the characters, her inspiration and helped us come up with imaginary characters ourselves before creating a special story using these characters which she read for us.
Show preparations
We have been building stars and painting posters about Mamma Mia and The Muppets Show. We have also been designing and making navigations for our school dance. The class has been full of glitter and paint and stampers and…well, it’s been a bit of a mess but we always manage to tidy it up again at the end of the day.
P4.13 Garden tour
The primary 4s have transformed the Eco Garden into the terrific Tranquility Garden. They have split the magnificent garden into 2, one the flower side and the other the fruit and veggie side! Did you know that daffodils come in different colours.
Pansies also come in different colours.
My personal favourite was the baby apple tree! Here are some photos of the vibrant and beautiful place they have created. Thank you to Miss Trouten and 4.13 for your incredible dedication and hard work.
We’ve had such a busy week this week, here is an update from Lydia and Emma
Parent Visit
On Wednesday, we had some of our parents come in to help us do Orienteering, and maths. It was so much fun to show our parents what we do for outdoor learning!
Sports Day
On Tuesday we had our annual sports day! We did tug of war, beat the goalie, an obstacle course, bowling and sprinting. Hannah and Roma placed first for the girls, and Himmat and Alexander placed first for the boys!
Eastwood High Visit
On Thursday we had a visit from a pastoral support teacher from Eastwood who came in and talked to us about coming into high school. She showed us the uniform, timetables, food and lots of other things about Eastwood!
Scottish Parliament Education Officer Visit
We also had a visit from a lady from the Scottish parliament who came in and talked to us about devolved and reserved powers as well as telling us a bit about different voting systems and how we .We did some activities such as sorting laws which Scotland gets to make and the UK gets to make. It was very interesting and we learned a lot.
This week we had 2 visits from Eastwood’s science teachers. On Wednesday we learned a bit about genetics. We made our own dragons using coins that said wee and big to determine how our dragon would look. After we had all our results we coloured and assembled our dragons. Once our dragons were assembled we picked some coloured paper and stapled to our picture to create a border. After that we decorated our border to make it look nice.
On Thursday we did a bit on batteries and for our experiment we found out how many electrical volts the fruit/veg contained. First we plugged in the wires to the volt measurer and plugged crocodile clips to the end of them. Then we clipped a zinc nail to one of the wires and a copper one to the other. Once we had done that we put the nails in the fruit and recorded the amount of volts the fruit could produce.
Although it was a short week this week, we certainly managed to pack lots in!
We began our show preparations with Mrs McVittie and enjoyed singing and coming up with ideas together.
We were lucky to have two visitors (Shreya’s mum and dad) who are both experienced doctors. They gave us a short presentation on First Aid then helped us learn in small groups the dos and don’ts of different first aid scenarios.
Unfortunately our sports day had to be cancelled as it was raining very heavily, it will be re arranged soon though.
We enjoyed a great Eid party in class where we listened to our friends describe how they celebrated Eid, watched some videos explaining a bit about what Eid and Ramadan mean and we enjoyed crisps and water very kindly donated by the Muslim families in our school. After all that we listened to some Bangra music and had superb fun dancing around the class.
Welcome to our weekly blog, this week it’s Sophie and Noor reporting. We wanted to tell you about our main focus this week which has been to create our own Maths Board Games.
At the start of this week we began to create some fun maths board games using boards from an old system. We got split into 8 groups and got straight to work on some ideas.
After we had a rough idea we started to create the rules of our game. The great thing is all the board games were different and unique and helped show Mrs Kelly what we have learned.
Once we added the finishing touches to our games we invited our classmates to play our games with us. This helped us iron out some little issues about the rules that we hadn’t thought of!
After, it was time for p6.24 to come and play our games. It was so worthwhile for everyone. We got a chance to teach others some new concepts as well as how to enjoy playing games that help us learn. Everyone was really engaged and the p6s said they loved the experience.
After a superb Spring break we are back refreshed and ready to learn and enjoy our last term in Mearns Primary before starting our next chapter in first year at secondary school.
Hello and welcome back to P7.28’s weekly blog. We hope you had a lovely Easter holiday,this week Noor and Sophie bring you some of the highlights of this week !
The weather this week was amazing, so we spent a lot of time outside. While we were outside we did some learning about rounding decimal numbers and Orienteering. We got into groups and had wrote down some random 4 digit decimal numbers. After writing down the numbers we spreaded them across the grass and then took turns choosing 1 and matched it up to the nearest decimal place. Here are some photos!

Hello welcome to P7.28 and our weekly blog. This week Suhanna and Emma bring to you some of the highlights of the week.
We had a visit from Alison from the chaplaincy team who recapped some of the stories of Jesus leading up to Easter and got us thinking about how some activities are better and indeed easier in person rather than online or from a distance. Isabella and Sarthak acted as her assistants to help show this…..unfortunately we didn’t have any charge in the iPad to capture them in action though.
Here we are tackling one of our literacy tasks this week. We have some thinking involved in this activity… have a look and see if you can figure it out!?
Our teacher Mrs. Kelly gave us 1 cup for each table full of random pieces of paper, or so we thought! We had to figure out what those pieces of paper were to figure out our lesson. We joined a few papers together and figured it was Prefixes and Suffixes GENIUS FUN and LITERACY!
Another piece of learning this week involved some creative and fun art pictures to produce. Let’s take a quick look!
Mrs Kelly was fairly obsessed with keeping the pencils organised….she was also impressed at how well we did with putting them all back so well right enough!
We all made colourful, Creative birds and some of us even made our own imaginary birds with different colours than normal. We were tasked to create our own background, anything we liked, for example tropical or forest something like that. The best thing about this particular art work was that we used these special pencils called paint pencils. We first sketched our picture and our backgrounds and then we used a few selections of paint brushes with water and it turned into paint. But the best part of the art lesson was how everyone used their Creativity and imagination!
