Well done to everyone for such a lovely evening. It was great to see all the lovely outfits and to see everyone looking their best. Below are a few pics of a memorable evening!

This week we enjoyed a visit from staff at our local fire station who came in to speak to us about fire safety in the home. They explained the dangers of fire hazards such as leaving chargers plugged in too long and had many important messages for us. Afterwards we were given the chance to go outside and look at the fire engine and learn how the appliance works. We even got the opportunity to try out the hose!

Today we have been working in groups to research information about the different Australian states. We created a jigsaw to present the information we found. We will present our finished posters to each other next lesson.

Today was our big sale to mark the end of our Grow a Fiver project! I’m delighted to share that every group made a profit. Our winning group was the Mug Bugs who made a magnificent £86 profit. Our combined class  total raised a tremendous  £227.
Well done to Primary 7 for working so well on this project and for showing such great teamwork and creativity.

On Wednesday morning we had a trip to Barrhead High to visit the PE department as part of our transition programme. We had the choice of taking part in Basketball or Gymnastics. We had a great session and we all worked hard to develop our skills.

Today we learned the importance of being able to help someone in an emergency situation. We learned how to deliver cpr and practised this on our manikins. We understand that in a life threatening situation it is better to take action than to do nothing at all.

Well done to our P7 netball players who won a netball tournament this evening competing against other Barrhead schools. Our girls look like they are thoroughly enjoying their success.

Today we had a really exciting visit from Eilidh and Alana from Scottish Power. They came to speak to us about their jobs in Scottish Power where they work in renewable energies. They explained different types of renewable energies to us and we designed our own islands with wind farms and  solar energy. We also tried out VR headsets and designed windmills.

In PE we have now moved on from gymnastics to fitness where we’ve been working in pairs around  various  stations to build up our fitness and stamina.

Today we had a visit from Miss Brown a Music teacher from Barrhead High. Miss Brown taught us  how to identify how many beats are in a bar. She used members of our class to illustrate this point. We also had the opportunity to take part in some body percussion. Take a look at our video below.
