Week beginning 13th June

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!

Week beginning 16th May

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.

Week beginning 28th April

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.

Week beginning 19th April

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!

Angle Art 🖼 📐

The sun was shining and the weather was kind for out first day back after the holidays! We took full advantage of the nice weather by taking our maths learning outdoors today.

The children in 6.24 worked in groups using chalk and masking tape to make geometric art on the ground. The children then sorted the shapes they had made into triangles and quadrilaterals. After this, they were then able to consolidate their previous learning on internal angles by measuring the angles and checking they added up to 180 degrees for the triangles and 360 degrees for the quadrilaterals. The pupils also applied their new skill of using a protractor during this task.

Financial Education 💸

6.24 have received a series of lessons on financial education over the last month. The pupils have really enjoyed learning about money and banks. This week the pupils were tasked with creating their own bank, they had to create a name, design a logo and decide which services their bank would provide.

Whilst completing this today Olivia asked if she could create a google site for her bank. This inspired both myself and some of her fellow classmates to do the same and create a website for their bank! Such a creative way to reinforce their learning and digital skills! 🌟

Sophie also made her own site and even designed a debit card! Click on the GIF below to view her website.

Minecraft Challenge 🎮

The pupils of 6.24 were given another extension task today involving volume, factors, multiplication AND Minecraft!

They were tasked with creating rectangular prisms with particular volumes. Lots of problem solving and some trial and error was involved in this activity.

Here is a video below of Zain creating pairs of rectangular prisms with the same volume but different dimensions:

Kyle has also completed this task and has created four rectangular prisms with different dimensions that all share a volume of 40 centimetres cubed:
