In music, we have been learning all about Grażyna Bacewicz, a famous female composer who lived in Poland during WW2. She composed her ‘Overture’ while Poland was under occupation, and weaved the morse code symbol for ‘V’ into her piece, to symbolise victory. Primary Seven have enjoyed learning about this fascinating music, and have created some morse code hidden messages of their own. Can you decode any? Here’s a clue, some of the words include: gas, tank, raid and bomb! Good luck and enjoy!

World War Two
Our topic this term is World War Two. They say it is a very fun experience and hard work. We have learnt lots of interesting new facts and stories. So far we have learnt about the causes of world war two, and used our research skills to create a timeline to show the key events. We have used chalk to draw the flags of the Axis and Allies outside. Here is a Google Slide Show to showcase some of our fantastic learning so far! Enjoy 🙂
Welcome to our blog!
Welcome to our Primary Seven class blog! Here we will publish the fantastic learning that takes place in and out of our classroom . We hope you enjoy!
Science – sound and vibration
In science we learned about sound. We did lots of practical experiments to learn how sound travels.
In ICT we used a search engine to research information on how animals communicate. We selected appropriate information and then created a PowerPoint presentation using Google slides using the information we researched.
Leonna – I really like the tuning fork experiment when the water flew out of the cup.
Zoe – I was interested in learning how animals can communicate with each other.
Nathan M – I enjoyed watching the video clips showing how sound travels through the air.
Numeracy and Maths
During Maths Week we did lots of Maths challenges.
We went outside to do a place value treasure hunt , we also had a round the world challenge to see who was the person who knew their times tables best in the class.
Morgan was our winner for the week . Well done Morgan !
Expressive arts – Music – ukulele
Primary 5 have been learning to play the ukulele since September. Mr Adams comes and teaches us every Wednesday. We have learned 4 chords and are trying to learn a song by Jason Mraz to perform at the Christmas Concert.
Cerys – I find the different chords quite tricky.
Jayden – I am enjoying learning an instrument
Sam J – I was a bit nervous when we had to play during our assembly.

Rainbow Reading Zone!
Primary 4 have been working hard to create a fantastic reading zone outside our classroom! It’s a fun vibrant place to read and learn. We worked together in working groups to come up with the idea, design, created rules to follow and planned how it would work. Have a look-what do you think? 🙂
Reading Strategies and Summaries
We have been been learning lots about the Human Organs. We have used reading strategies to locate information for a non-fiction passage and then created summaries. A few examples will be uploaded soon!!
” It was really fun to write a summary about the human heart. I learned that it takes 45 seconds for the blood to go around the body!” Amy
Summaries will be added soon!
