P7 Active Spelling Strategies Helpsheet

The Daily Rigour 194 Worksheet

Primary 7 were very fortunate to be visited by a local author called SF Mazhar. She is the author of the Power of Four series and The Elementals.

She gave us an insight on how she was inspired through her Fan Fiction writing online.

Primary 7 were lucky to have a writing workshop with her. We learnt how to structure a ‘Plot Arch’  and ‘Emphasis’ in our writing.

Can I please ask that you download the SeeSaw app from the app store on the device that you typically bring to school. This app will allow you to display your learning and recieve feedback from your teachers on assigned tasks and projects. We are hoping to set this up and start using it over the coming weeks.

Thank you in anticipation,

Miss McLean 🙂

Today we continued our buoyancy topic with another experiment. Our challenge was to design a tin foil boat which could hold as much mass as possible without sinking. We were given 1 metre of aluminium foil and used our knowledge of buoyancy to create our boats.

Then it was time to put our boats to the test. We put them into a container of water and added as many marbles as possible until they sank to the bottom.

Our winning boat managed to hold 164 marbles! We discovered that the larger the surface area, the more mass the boats could hold. This means that the buoyant force will help it to float. 🛳

Dear Parent/Carer,

Your child will shortly be taking part in a school performance for P7 school show. As always we rely on your assistance to help to organise your child’s costume where possible. As part of the costume for this show, we will be making Arabian style vests which each cast member will wear. To help us to make these vests, we require your child to bring an old t-shirt to school. This t-shirt will be cut and decorated to make their own particular vest. Please only supply an old or cheap t-shirt that you are happy to be cut and sewn.

Each part of our ensemble will require a different shade of t-shirt. We have specified the colour for your child  below. If you have any problems sourcing this, please let us know as soon as possible and we will be happy to assist you.

Please can we have these in for Friday 13th March.

As always, your cooperation is very much appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

P7 Teachers

Today we started our buoyancy topic in science. In our groups we were given a piece of tin foil and the goal was to make it sink when placed in water. We worked together to come up with a strategy to use and then tested this out altogether. We realised that if we crumpled our piece into a ball it would float because of the air trapped inside. If we put in a flat piece of tin foil it sunk to the bottom because it is more dense than water. We now know that buoyancy is a force which pulls objects upwards.

 

Dear Parent/Carer,

Our Fairtrade Pupil Group members have been working very hard to promote Fairtrade Fortnight which starts on Monday 24 February and finishes on Sunday 8 March 2020.

As preparation for Fairtrade Fortnight the Primary 4 pupil group members conducted a survey to find out which treats children would like to buy at the tuck shop we are planning to run. A subgroup of Primary 5s created posters to advertise the tuck shop around the school. The older members of the pupil group will be giving a speech and showing a PowerPoint to the rest of the school to raise awareness of Fairtrade. The Primary 7 members created a rota for the tuck shop (see below).

We would like to invite children to bring in cash to buy a Fairtrade treat from the tuck shop. We will be offering Geobake chocolate chip cookies, a variety of Divine chocolate bars and Fairtrade Jellybeans. The tuck shop will be running from Monday 2nd March until Friday 6th March. All items are £1.10 so please send your child with the correct amount if possible.

• Monday 2nd March – Primary 1 and Primary 2
• Tuesday 3rd March – Primary 3
• Wednesday 4th March – Primary 4 and Primary 5
• Thursday 5th March – Primary 6
• Friday 6th March – Primary 7

Yours sincerely,

Fairtrade Pupil Group
