Through our bounce back ability topic we have been exploring the power of positivity and spreading kindness. Today we took the opportunity to write anonymous positive messages and compliments for our peers to brighten their day.

Some of our lovely positive messages:

Receiving our messages:

 

We have spoken a lot about the importance of showing kindness throughout primary 7 and discussed the positive impact that this can have on others.

Just a little reminder that as well as being kind to others, remember to be kind to yourself 😊!

 

Over the next 3 weeks we will be working on a mini science project. You will be undertaking some personal inquiry into an area of science that you are interested in.

First you will pose a research question about a particular area of science that you would like to know more about.

Next, you will do some research and try to answer your scientific question. You may even carry out an experiment to demonstrate your findings.

Please see the attachment below for more information.

Science Mini Project

Good luck! Enjoy carrying out your research and we can’t wait to see your findings at our science fair on Thursday 5th March!

Today we created some optical illusion art inspired by Valentines Day. We looked at some different examples of optical illusions (which amazed us!) and then we were given a design brief. We were asked to create a piece of art which had contrasting colours, geometric shapes and an interesting pattern to create an optical illusion. We were also asked to include a heart silhouette to symbolise Valentines Day.

So far, here some of our amazing pieces of finished artwork ✏️🎨

Me and my sister made a mandarin presentation about how to say animals and numbers in Mandarin.We went round the P2’s and P4’s and taught them numbers 1-10 and some animals in Mandarin.They had shots of saying some Mandarin.At the end of the presentation we asked if anyone had any questions.Some people asked if we knew any colours in mandarin so we told them some too.

Today we learned about positivity and how to look on the bright side of situations. We now know the difference between being optimistic and pessimistic and how to achieve a positive mindset.

We wrote a little message of positivity to brighten up someone at our tables day!
