Sarah Kwan

For the Chinese new year this week, we have been working on multiculturalism art inspired by Sarah Kwan by mixing the Scottish and Chinses culture together to create a piece of art. We then wrote a paragraph to explain what we had chosen and it’s link to both cultures.

Mrs Rasul shared the final art with Sarah Kwan, who reposted them on her social media! She was very very impressed indeed. Here are a few examples:

The Traitors

We have also started a class game of traitors this week. This will go on for a few weeks and is inspired by the BBC tv show! More to follow…

Defending Democracy

This week we started our new topic, Defending Democracy, and we learnt about the Suffragettes and Suffragists. Mrs Rasul played a trick on us and told us we can vote for our next P.E. topic, but then said only the girls could vote.  The boys were confused and a little angry and this is how our topic started. We worked in pairs to research information about the 2 groups and made a comparison table. It was interesting to learn about some of the methods they used to get women the right to vote.

Discursive writing

We started our writing block on discursive writing and started by writing about whether or not Jack (from Jack and the Beanstalk) was guilty or innocent for what he did to the giant. We looked at different sentence openers and using quotes from ‘experts’. This was a fun piece of writing.

Angles in triangles

For maths we learned how to calculate missing angles in triangles. We looked at:

• Right angle triangles
• Scalene triangles
• Equilateral triangles
• isosceles triangles.

What a busy week in Primary 7b!

We have been back for a week and what a busy week it has been.

Here are a few of the things we have been up to:

Northern Light 

We created 2025 calendars using oil pastels and paint then creating a Northern Lights scene. We also had a chance to learn a little bit about a photographer who travelled for 10 years to capture the perfect pictures of the Northern Lights!

Substance Misuse

For our health and wellbeing topic, we have been exploring healthy and unhealthy choices. This week we looked at the effects of smoking on our bodies and internal organs. We worked in pairs to research and display these around a human skeleton.

3D shape

We have been learning about the properties of 3D shapes, including their edges, vertices and faces. We looked at different prisms and ways to remember their names.
