Welcome to our Class Blog. Our teacher was Mrs Hussain :)
Today P7a and P1a worked together on a science investigation. We looked at the different types of beaks that birds have and investigated the speed at which they would use them.
Preparations are underway to dress the Beat Box outside our school in a spring theme.
Euan worked closely with Mrs Hussain to create a centre piece for our Beat the Street display.
The biggest challenge for us, is that the display needs to be waterproof to withstand the weather we have been exposed to recently. So we decided to use recycled plastic bottles to create flowers and insects.
Keep an eye out for the finished product!

To kick start British Science Week, P7 were given a STEM challenge to use the willow branches from the Eco garden and create structures of their own.

Today we did an experiment, where we put different levels of yeast and sugar in bottles to see what combinations would release the most carbon dioxide and make the balloons the biggest.
We found adding more sugar didn’t make a difference but adding more yeast made a big difference. One of the balloons popped and the wet yeast sugar went all over the window and window sill.
The balloons are still getting bigger and everyone in the class is excited to see how big the balloons grow over the weekend.
This week we went to an assembly about Fairtrade, the assembly was delivered by P4a. They told us about what fair trade does to help farmers to get better prices so they are fair to their employees . We were very interested to learn all about it.
This week on Wednesday Mr Blackwood came to teach the the whole of P7 about WWII. It was really interesting listening to his stories.
Mr Blackwood also had some helmets, stamps and old money from WWII to show us. Mr Blackwood knew so much about world WWII from all over the war, we all learnt so many new things. Thank you!
For Robert Burns day, we are singing a Scottish song. Our teacher asked us to research a Scottish song for our homework. We had to then present it to the class. We had a vote to see which Scottish song we would sing, and 500 miles won.
Since then, we have been practising our song in class, and for homework, to present on Friday when we are having a mini Burns supper.
Miss Edmondstone, Miss Cumming and Mr Russell joined in on the singing during our Burns Supper.
For our Christmas enterprise project our groups idea won. Well I mean another group won but we get to run ours on the side. Rudolphs raffle is our game where you pay a pound and if you pick the ticket with the number 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on you win a prize. The other idea that got chosen was Ho Ho Hot chocolate, they are making cones with hot chocolate in them designed to look like rudolph and are selling the for £2 and overall will make a £150 profit.

Camping or Glamping?
Elliott and I had a budget of £800 and we had to use the money to go camping.
At the end the total cost we got was exactly £800!
“This was really fun!”-Elliott
On Monday I learned how to do vertically opposite angles. I am in Fibonacci maths group.
I tried the challenge homework and it was easy, apart from the last question….!
My older brother Oliver helped me and showed me how to do it and again, it was simple by the time it was done.
