Many of the P7 children spent 7th to the 11th November on an outward bound activity-filled trip to Lockerbie Manor. The children had opportunities to take part in a wide variety of activities. The photos below will give you a flavour of what they got up to.
In art we used our maths skills – we have been working on compass work. We drew circles with the compasses and created patterns. We had a choice of working in pairs or on our own. It was really fun, I’m sure everyone enjoyed it. We used different techniques to draw different patterns. Some people are trying out new patterns to do.

For P.E. we had a handball session, the coach was called Michael. He told us the rules of handball and some techniques like short passing is harder to intercept and you can only take three steps with the ball. Everyone enjoyed it and I had a broken collarbone so I was the referee.

In possession games we have been working on our basketball skills and being aware of your own space and other people and surroundings. We also improved football and basketball skills like shooting and dribbling and again, being aware of the space of, ourselves, others and surroundings.
We worked in groups to make boats. Our boats had to be able to float and carry cargo. We collected recycled materials and worked in partners to make our boats. We made our boats, tested them and made improvements. Everyone’s boats floated and carried some weight. We presented our boats to the class.
We learned how to use ellipses to draw a bottle. We drew a line of symmetry and made a few attempts to get the right ellipses. We used working lines to help us get the right shapes. We are proud of our drawings.
Primary 7 had their first outing yesterday when they attended a ‘Safety in the Park’ event at Arthurlie House. We moved around a number of presentations and activities and we learned not to talk to strangers, alcohol safety, online safety and much more.
