Hello and welcome to our Class Blog. Our teacher is Mrs Hussain :)
What an amazing afternoon! A huge THANK YOU to our fabulous families for coming to our P7 Christmas Fayre and contributing to the success.
We have made a profit of over £1000!
The children worked so hard and we are so proud. Looking forward to planning our fun day out.
Thank you once again!
We enjoyed creating our books, we wrote a variety of fairy tales with a twist.
We loved sharing them this morning with P3, Miss McArthur and Miss Ali. We are looking forward to reading them with our P1 buddies later this afternoon.
Today we took part in some Heartstart training.
We started our P7 Masterclasses today and were using our numeracy skills to plan a holiday for a family of 4. We were able to understand and explain the importance of budgeting when planning a holiday . We compared costs and choose what to purchase within our £800 budget!
Today we had some children share some artifacts from WWII.
We enjoyed looking at the bullet!
Today we did an activity using a polo mint and thread that blew our minds. Let’s see how many parents/siblings are blown away!
We learned all about our mindset and how we can change our mindset.
This week we had our last lesson of our bikeability topic.We also had our theory test to predict if we passed or not.Thanks to our expert bikeability skill the entire class passed with more than 15+ in our test and solid monouvering got us past bikeability level 2. We all had great fun over the course the 8 lessons of bikeability.Some people were invited to do bikeability level 3 if it is going to be carried out in our school. in bikeability we learned some monouvres like right turn,left turn,starting and stopping,emergency stop,passing parked cars and making a U-turn.Bikeability was a great experience for us all and we will take it into the future. we did our m-checks and check our helmet that it wouldn’t fall of. We went on a busy road and normal road .
Today we presented our inventions and innovations to the dragons. Miss Edmonston, Mr Connor and Mrs Maxwell came to judge our inventions and pitches. Some were a bargain, too good refuse, offering over 20% of their company for only £1000, for an item they would be charging £150 for! That would make the dragons a huge profit if successful. Others priced themselves out the market looking for a slightly unrealistic ten trillion pounds investment! Over the course of the topic we researched gaps in the market and everyday problems people would like us to solve. We used a logbook to record and date all our ideas. We then checked if anything similar already existed. If it did we didn’t give up straight away, we thought about innovations to improve the existing product. We considered our target market and where our product would sell, we researched how much similar items cost and thought about our materials. Ecofriendly items were a big plus! We then created posters to advertise our product, leaflets to explain them and used our graphic skills to produce a labelled diagram to use during our dragon pitch. In the end SpecTators won, Stretchable Soccer came second and Refuse Reducer came in third. The dragons were impressed with every pitch! We all enjoyed the topic, especially the celebration afterwards.
Throughout May we took part in a creativity challenge at Mearns Primary. We worked with pupils from other schools to design an outfit with a science theme. We then used some of our technology skills (but mostly glue guns) to make the outfit. We also had movie editors and directors, a script writer and a narrator and a model. We put on a catwalk show for parents last Friday at Mearns Primary. Have a look at their twitter account for more photos!
We have had a very exciting and busy day at Sky Academy creating trailers for horror movies. We were organised into four groups. We each had a studio to plan a storyboard and film scenes for our trailers. We used our communication skills effectively to work together while developing our technology skills too. We then had a special shoeing of our trailers on the big screen. These will come home today on our own usb sky bands. They are amazing. If you don’t like being scared do not watch them on your own with the lights out…you’ve been warned!
