This term P7b have been covering many topics in maths. Some of these include: Distance, speed and time, time intervals and division. We have also been learning our times tables and doing games to encourage mental agility. 

In writing we have enjoyed doing imaginative pieces like Frankenstein’s monster, we have also collected notes of the senses in forest school and used them to create an autumn poem.  

In Science we learned about different states of matter: solid, liquid and gasses. We did an experiment to see if ice diluted water when it melted. We then did an experiment on the fastest way to melt ice. 

In Art we have been studying the work of Georges Seurat, mainly his revolutionary technique of pointillism. We used this to paint sunflowers and famous American landmarks.

During outdoor learning we have done many river walks, much to the protest of pupil’s wet socks! We also abseiled down a hillside and made model rafts at the bottom to race against each other in the river. 

 

 

In P.E we did many fitness courses to build up stamina, we learned teamwork in ultimate frisbee and coordination skills in tennis and had fun playing rounders together.

In Health and Wellbeing, we learned the importance of healthy eating and create our own healthy diet plan!  

We also took part in our first online mandarin lesson. We learned about the differences and similarities between China and Scotland and learned some of the tones. We can’t wait to learn more!

This term has been a great one for P7b, today we are celebrating Halloween! We have loads of fun activities planned like a pumpkin parade and class parties. 

We have all received letters for our excursion to Lockerbie manor. We have also picked our confirmation names so it is going to be a very bu

sy month ahead for us.
