Primary 7a 2024 – 2025

Today in class Father Joe came to talk to us about our Confirmation names so we have an idea of what saint we should pick. He reminded us that when we are picking a saint’s name it is like picking a heavenly friend for life. We’ll do some more research so that we pick wisely. Thanks Father Joe!

A massive well done to our cross country runners who took on an amazing challenge and succeeded today! You represented our school so well. 😊

A massive shout out to our girl’s football team on Monday too. Pics will be on X! 😊

Today we put our learning about fertilisers into action and planted some radish seeds using two types of fertiliser: one chemical and one organic. In the videos below we made some predictions about what we expect to happen in the coming weeks!

A huge congratulations to Jack who continues to emerge as a leader within the class due to his ability to think for himself and make good decisions. He has a strong sense of what’s right and can always be relied upon to speak up for others when they need it too. What an amazing role model and caring classmate! Your peers love learning from you, Jack.

In our class we have a reward system called Positivity Points and they are given to pupils who go the extra mile and make positive contributions to the daily life of the class. I’m happy to say that
Dar-a is the first person in the class to reach ten points and start a new card! Proud of you and your brave approach to learning. 😊

P7a worked brilliantly within their Level 2 Bikeability lessons. It was a big challenge but they really rose to the occasion. The instructors were very impressed with both their focus and manners throughout.

Today in class we read more of our class novel (The Last Wild) and updated our story roads where we track the main points in the story.

Just a wee reminder that the weather is starting to get a bit colder and that bringing appropriate layers is vital in order to stay happy and healthy outside. Remember that our PE uniform is a black sweater/hoodie/leggings/shorts/joggers with our yellow school t-shirt. Hoodies should not be worn on non-PE days. If anyone needs a school jumper for the oncoming colder days just let me know and I’ll get one for you. 😊

A gigantic shout out to Abbie, our latest Student of the Week, who always tries to make the right decisions and treats others with kindness. It’s really lovely to see how much care and compassion she has for other people and is always one of the first to congratulate others. What a beautiful example to set to the P1s, who love having her as a buddy at break and lunchtimes. 😊

Today we completed a food web activity within our live lessons about Climate change. We used string and chalk to help us create our food web. So many animals and plants are interconnected and reliant on each other!
