Mapping

Today we had an interesting presentation from the Road Safety Team. They reminded us of all the rules for road safety in preparation for our journey to high school. Afterwards we looked at maps and planned out our safest route for getting to Barrhead High from our homes.

Grow a Fiver

It’s selling day in Primary 7/1 for our Grow a Fiver enterprise project! It has been a busy morning and stock is selling fast!! Everyone has worked really hard coming up with ideas and creating their products.

Water Safety 💦

Today we received a visit from the Fire Service who gave us a presentation on Water Safety. We were learning of the dangers of swimming outdoors during the summertime. Some of the risks we identified were not knowing the depth of  the water outdoors or the temperature.  We also learned there can be hidden currents and that  the water can be polluted.
We were taught the Water Safety Code ( see below)  to help keep us safe in the water.

Barrhead High Science

Today we attended Barrhead High for their annual Science event. We were introduced to use some of the safety rules for working in a Science lab and we used Bunsen burners when checking the ph levels of a variety of liquids. Next we gathered together with Carlibar and Hillview pupils to enjoy the Science magic show.

Heartstart 💔

Today Primary 7 have been revising how to offer help in an emergency.  We  learned how to deliver CPR and practised this skill on a manekin. We know to check the person’s airways, to perform thirty chest compressions and to give two rescue breaths. We learned it is also essential to phone for an ambulance before giving CPR to ensure the emergency services get to the scene as quickly as possible. It’s also important to stay calm! 

PE Visit ⛹🏻

Today we visited Barrhead High as part of our transition programme. We enjoyed meeting some of the staff from the PE department and having a little taste of what a PE lesson is like at high school. We got the chance to do both trampolining and basketball. It was lots of fun!

Gymnastics 🤸🏽‍♂️

Primary 7 have been enjoying a block of gymnastics and particularly enjoyed using the Kelvin frame in our last lesson. We have many talented gymnasts in our class who have demonstrated excellent skill. Above is a sample of of our skills.

One More Sleep 💤

It’s been a busy week at Lockerbie Manor with the children learning lots of new skills. Looks like the last night disco is a big hit too! Below is a selection of pictures from throughout the week.
