P7b have been learning about different parts of a flower and the function of each part.

In order to develop their learning P7b dissected flowers and used magnifying glasses to investigate each part of the flower.

P7b have been working hard in PE to do some team balances, here are some pictures 🙂 

P7 were baking some crispy cakes this afternoon as a nice Easter treat 🙂

Primary 7 loved their visit from Culture Junction today. They identified some of the challenges and changes when transitioning from Primary to Secondary school and then represented these through drama performances.

Today we had a visit from the Pupil Support Team from St Luke’s. We got to hear more about some of the subjects we will be studying in high school and some people got to model the St Luke’s uniform :-).

P7 have enjoyed their Judo taster sessions at the Foundry for the last 3 weeks, they have learned some new skills and some self defence techniques :-). Here are some pictures using team work and trying out some of the techniques we were taught!

Today the children learned how to cross stitch and continued with their unique designs.

Building on from yesterday’s input about the cotton mills and print fields, today P7 were involved in hand stitching pieces of material using a needle and thread and making their owns patterns, these will be finished next week :-). 

Yesterday P7 were learning all about Barrhead in the past. We learned about the cotton mills, bleach fields and the print works that were in Barrhead. We got to look at old maps of Barrhead and identify how many of these factories were there.

We also got to see an old quilt cover that was made in one of the print factories from almost 200 years ago.

This week P7b did a school survey to find out which languages are spoken in our school. We then took the information that we collected and transferred it into a Bar Graph to display. There are many languages spoken by the pupils in our school and from our results we found that other than English, Polish is the most widely used language.

As part of Languages Week Scotland, pupils selected a target language and then did research about a country where their target language is spoken. We had a wide range of interests and learned lots of interesting facts about the countries. Some of our pupils who speak another language decided to teach us some common phrases such as ‘Hello’ and ‘My name is’.
