Welcome to our Class Blog. Our teacher is Miss Itcovitz :)
Primary 7 were extremely lucky to be involved in a drama workshop today by Vision Perform.
We learned about how to gain focus and concentration and how to perform freeze frames and mime.
We hope to use our new skills and expertise to run drama workshops for other classes with the school.
On the 9th of October 2019 the British Heart Foundation came to our class and we completed the Heartstart Emergency Life Saving Programme. We learned what to do if anyone was to fall unconscious, have a cardiac arrest, suffer a heart attack or choke on something. If someone was to fall unconscious they told us how to put them in the recovery position . if someone was to go in to cardiac arrest they told us how to do CPR. If someone was to choke they told us the manoeuvres to do to help the person.
We really enjoyed the Heartstart Programme and learned lots of techniques that could potentially save someone’s life.

We really enjoyed Maths Week Scotland. We did loads of fun activities like: An escape room, QR code scavenger hunt and maths themed P.E. We also did a few different Masterclasses such as Parabolic designs ( which is known as using straight lines to create a curved effect ), budgeting and also 3D shapes.

Below are a selection of information posters to help with your famous mathematician research.
As part of our topic, we are learning about world leaders during World War 2.
Our main interest is Winston Churchill so today we are creating fact files about him.
We are using chrome books to research events in Winston Churchill’s life and to look at famous quotes and pictures of him.

Being numerate helps us to function responsibly in everyday life and contribute effectively to society. It increases our opportunities within the world of work and establishes foundations which can be built upon through lifelong learning. Numeracy is not only a subset of mathematics; it is also a life skill which permeates and supports all areas of learning, allowing young people access to the wider curriculum. (Education Scotland)
Families can choose one activity (or more if you wish) from the grid and work on this together over the next two weeks. How you record and share your homework is up to you! There are some suggestions on the grid but please feel free to be as inventive as you wish. This homework will last two weeks. On Friday 4th October, the eldest child in each family should bring in their family homework and the pupils will get a chance to share their activity with the school community. The homework should be carried out as a family and each activity can be simplified or extended to allow everyone to take part. There are lots of real life challenges to allow our pupils to see the benefit numeracy and maths has on our everyday life. These activities are designed to be fun, active and engaging for all our learners. It will not only promote their numeracy, but it will also develop their problem solving, creativity and collaboration skills.
Please share your learning activities with us on twitter! @kirkhillPS and use our #
