P7B Term 2 – 29/11/19

Week 6

It has been a great week in P7B.

In writing we were learning about advertising. In advertising we were learning about how to make slogans, use persuasive language and make eye catchy images. We were advertising toys and we used a lot of bright colours, eye catching images, persuasive language and relevant information! 

In PE we have been learning ceilidh dancing.We are going to an event called ‘Community Unity Ceilidh’ in Eastwood on Tuesday 17th December. Today everyone got a partner to dance with. We did three dances: Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant and the Virginia Reel.

In science we have been making planets! We were put into groups of 3 or 4 and then we needed to figure out a suitable scale for our planets so they weren’t too big or small. At first our Jupiter was 140 cm diameter!  But in the end our scale was 0.2 of a centimeter for 1000m.Once we had finished putting it to scale, we had started to make the planets with a balloon paper mache. It was messy but a lot of fun.

Primary 6 & 7 have been working on christmas cards for the Whitecraigs Care Home. Everyone in P7 made a card and we did a vote on who would get theirs sent of to the Whitecraigs Care Home. We used our imagination to create some fantastic christmas cards.

In french we have been working on pronunciation and spelling of french words with Miss Gourley. We got booklets and we made a powerpoint about our family and ourselves.

At assembly we discussed advent calendars and about creating an advent calendar that included our school values. We agreed on each day you had to show a different value (honesty,respect,kindness,fairness and friendship)

It was St Andrews day today. Here’s an interesting fact unlike Jesus St Andrew died on an X instead of a cross so that’s why the Scotland flag has an x on it.
