Well done to all our House Captains for leading us in today’s Cross Arthurlie House Quiz!  It was great to have everyone altogether in the hall for an afternoon of quizzing.  It was a close contest and everyone had lots of fun with Craigie being the eventual winners after going to a tie break. Well done Craigie!  (ARTICLE 15)

We had our first Mandarin lesson of the session on Thursday. We did lots of revision of greetings and played the game, Pass the Panda, which you can see below. We finished our lesson by listening to some Chinese music.  (ARTICLE 2 and 28)

This week we have been celebrating Maths Week Scotland. We have started each lesson with  a Countdown challenge provided by Barrhead High school. We’ve also taken part in code breaking in Maths and explored a range of ciphers including Morse Code. We ended the week by creating some Parabolic Maths shapes.  (ARTICLE 28)

We have lots of talented artists in P7! We have been developing our drawing skills by adding shade and tone to our artwork. Our focus has been facial features and faces. Below is just a little sample of our work.

In Social Studies we have been working in groups to carry out research on leaders from WW2. Once we had researched our chosen leader we created information posters to present our findings. Next we presented the posters to the class and received peer feedback. Below is some examples of our work.

Hello and welcome to our class blog where you will be able to keep up to date with our learning throughout the session.  Everyone has had a positive start to the new term, becoming familiar with the resources and routines of our classroom.
It was great to see how many members of the class put themselves forward for House Captain duties this year. They each fought a strong campaign, with wonderful speeches and eye catching posters, hoping to win the most votes. We look forward to hearing the names of those who have been successful and will be charged with the responsibility of leading our houses for the session.
