Choose at least one activity from each course on our menu about a book that you are reading or have read. You also have your First Minister’s Reading Challenge to work through.

Also for homework, you are challenged to read each night and undertake some extreme reading . Extreme reading is when you read in extreme places (or at least very unusual places). Please share photos on twitter using the hashtags  #extremereadingkps #bookweekscotland  #bwskps.   

I am looking forward to seeing all your photos  on Twitter.

Buoyancy with Mr Tyler

Today we were blown away by Mr Tyler. We revised forces and continued our learning on Buoyancy. We learned the formula Density= Mass/Volume. We learned that the less volume it takes up the more dense it is and therefore  more likely to sink.

 

Connecting to Digital Technology

Today we connected our personal devices to the school WiFi. We are super excited to be able to use our devices in school. We promise to be sensible!

Tin Foil Boat Challenge

Today in class we did a tin foil boat challenge in our buoyancy topic to see which boat can carry the most number of marbles.  We were given 1 metre of tin foil to create our boats.

 

The winning boat held 240 marbles altogether!

Enterprise Pitches

P7 have been busy this week coming up with enterprising ideas to have a mini P7 Christmas Fayre for parents and carers. Today we pitched our ideas to our teachers and they chose 10 of the best ideas. We are looking forward to hosting this on Friday 29th November during the open classrooms.

Sumdog Maths Contest

The contest starts tomorrow!

Sumdog’s East Renfrewshire Maths Contest is almost here! It starts tomorrow at 8am, and finishes at 8pm on November 14.

Here are some things to keep in mind during the contest:

  • Students can play at any time.
  • For the score to count, the East Renfrewshire Maths Contest activity must be showing in the green panel on the left of the student’s screen when they click to start each game.
  • Their scores are based on correct answers.
  • A class’s score is the average of the scores from all students from that class who take part.
  • To appear on the leaderboard, at least 10 students from a class need to play.
  • As some students have limited computer access, every student is limited to 1000 contest questions. However, their free logins let them keep playing other activities afterwards.

We hope your students are enjoying using Sumdog! If you would like to enter more classes into the contest, you can still do so.
