Primary 7b 23/24

Today we have been learning about electrostatic force and creating ways to test it out.

This week in P7B, we have been talking about the importance of primary sources when learning about history. To help our understanding of the Holocaust, we have been listening to interviews given by survivors. We then used quotes from the interviews to create ‘found poems’.

Everyone did a great job. You can read them below.

 

 

Over the last few weeks we have been learning about Magnetic force and we designed some games using our knowledge of magnets.

Merry Christmas and happy new year when it comes! P7B have had a lovely lead up to the festive period with lots of fun and laughs along the way. See you in 2024!

 

To prepare ourselves for the festive period, P7B spent the afternoon decorating the classroom. We decorated the tree and used our STEM and art skills to create some beautiful decorations to brighten up our day! Check out some of the fantastic results!

 

Today, the whole year group participated in a debate as part of our ‘Make your Mark’ achievements. We debated the motion ‘parents should carry out daily checks of the phones of children aged 15 and under.’ P7a argued for the proposition, and P7B the opposition. The arguments prepared by the two teams were excellent, and our reporters did a fantastic job of summarising the points made so that our audience could make a clear decision on the winners. Congratulations to P7a for winning this great debate!

 

Thank you to Rachel from ActiveSchools for coming in the past couple of weeks to lead P7 in Playzone Training. We had a great time competing team building tasks then planning and teaching our own games that we take away and use when performing our role as P1 buddies!

Thank you to the St Luke’s pupils and staff who came today to teach us the first of our dances in preparation for the Cluster Ceilidh that we will be attending with St Johns and St Thomas’. We had a great time learning the steps and dancing with our friends.

 

Today we did P.E in the afternoon. We were creating games that used skills like hand eye coordination. We made games using soft foam balls and basketballs. We had ‘teachers’ at each station teaching people each game.

 

Today we drew pumpkins with polka dots! The reason why is we were learning about halloween and Yayoi Kusama. She is a polka dot artist who draws pumpkin with polka dots because of her childhood. Here is some of our art!
