Leave a comment

P7 pupils enjoyed their school trip to Alltnacriche Outdoor Centre in Lynwilg, just outside Aviemore. They took part in a range of activities which included: Archery, Orienteering, Mountain Biking, Aerial Runway, Survival skills such as fire-lighting and shelter building. They also visited Landmark and had great fun on the rollercoaster and water slides. They managed to do a lot of shopping, in a little time too, in Inverness on the journey home.

Pleased with their shelter! The Group Leader commented that they were the best shelters he had seen being built and was not going to dismantle them, which he would normally. Well done girls!

This week we went to the I.C.T suite to work on our e-portfolios for the Nicolson. We also worked on Alta maths.  The challenger 4 bus came to school and we learnt about a lady called Jane who was a missionary. She went to Hungary to help the Jews in the Second World War. It was very interesting and all the people on the bus were great fun. This week we also learnt about the different parts of the heart and we watched a video about it.

 

Lots of people from school were competing in the local Mod. Everyone has worked very hard and done very well.  In our class Johanna, Lee, Leanne and I all did solos and Ailyn did a poem.  Leanne got a third place and Ailyn got a first place.  Me, Johanna and James were also in the Ceilidh Group that came second and Johanna and I were also in the Folk Group. Some people in our class were in the choir too and they came second.

 

Well done everyone in the school who took part.

On Monday we had our sports day which we all enjoyed.  Lots of parents came along to watch us take part in the races. There was tea, coffee and home baking being served in the school. We all had a great day.

 

On Tuesday we had art and we are doing a board to be displayed in Stornoway during the summer. I was drawing the new ferry on the board. The school is busy getting ready for the mod next week.

 

Today was MAD HAIR DAY today in Sgoil a’ Bhac . Everyone made a big effort to make their hair as crazy as possible. Even Mrs Murray wore a bright red wig and she looked like Stephanie from LazyTown.

On Monday we had sports day. On sports day I had a lot of fun. The races we did included the sack race, running race, egg and spoon race, the 200m race and the relay.

 

On Tuesday we had art and we were designing a Stornoway Tattoo board, although we haven’t started making the board yet. After lunch we had French and we were learning names of the shops in French, like the post office and the vet. After French we had our new topic which is the human body and we were doing our cover sheet and talking about the skeleton.

 

On Wednesday we had to go to the library to choose a new book to read then we had maths. At maths we were doing money and decimals. Decimals are easy and I really like them. After break we have been doing language where we are doing Nelson Skills. After lunch we will be doing some dictionary work with our teacher and the other P6s while the P7s go to French.

On Wednesday mornings we go down to the library to choose a book.  In the Afternoon when we learnt about Rosa Parks and we summarised her story by writing bullet points about what she did. She was really heroic and stood up for equal rights in America.  Then we went down to the computer room and we all chose our own person that was courageous and changed the world. I chose Nelson Mandela and had to do some research about him.

 

On Thursday morning we did some reading activities.  I chose to design a house for the main character in my book. We had P.E with Mrs MacLennan where we played cone ball and corner hockey. In maths we have been working on adding and subtracting decimals and I am starting to get the hang of it!

On Monday when we came in we had P.E. We played some games and then went back to class. After P.E we did reading activities where I did a story map. I did my story map on Shrinking Violet. After lunch we went to watch the P7s do their Young Leaders test so we will know what to expect next year.

 

On Tuesday morning we did an imaginative story. My story was called Shrinking Ailyn. It was a funny story. After break we had Art with Mr Smith. In art we were painting. After art we had language and we were doing Grammar. Finally we had Gaelic with Mrs MacLennan where we were working on our Gaelic vocabulary.

 

On Wednesday morning we went to the library to choose and swap our books. At maths time we went to the computer room to do Alta maths. It was okay and I am starting to get better at some of the tricky bits. We also did hand writing and Nelson Skills. After lunch Mrs Murray read us the story of Rosa Parks. It was an interesting story and Rosa Parks did an amazing thing in protesting for equal rights in America.

We have been learning languages.  We had French and we know our numbers and some colours. Then on Tuesday we had Gaelic. Mrs MacLennan drew a line in the middle of the white board and put numbers on each side. Then she would say a number in Gaelic and the first person to find it would get a point.

 

On Thursday Mrs Dillon came in because Mrs Murray was off. She did angles with us in maths. After lunch Mrs Dillon did a lesson with us about what we want to be when we grow up. We also had to write all the steps we have to take to get there.

I want to be an artist.

 

On Friday my reading group had reading. We all have different books and we tell everyone what has happened since the last time we read aloud. My book is The Snow Merchant.

On Monday morning we had gym outside with Mr. Smith.  We played a game called Foxes, Chickens and Worms, it was really fun.  In maths this week I have been learning division facts and using EducationCity to help me. 

 

In language I did some work on comprehension using two different stories, one about King James and one about a tightrope walker.  I liked the story about the tightrope walker because there was a part where he had to rely on his friend for help and his friend was very scared!

 

This week the P7s were sitting PIEs and PIMs.  That stands for Progress in English and Progress in Maths.  We will be doing them next year too.

 

In art on Tuesday we were learning how to draw the human eye.  This will help us when we start our Human Body topic in class.

 

Sports day is coming soon and some of us have already started practising in the playground!

This week in maths I was working on money.  I learnt how to pay for things in shops using lots of different coins and notes.  For spelling this week, I was able to choose words that I find particularly challenging and focus on them.  I chose to put them into different sentences and used them in Spelling City for extra fun!  In class I also work on learning how to touch type.  I type in my spelling words and have to use the correct fingers to type them while trying not to look at the keyboard.  In class we do lots of different reading activities.  This week I chose activity twenty one where I had to make up my own dictionary using words from my book.

This week we have been learning about fractions in maths. When you want to find a fraction of an amount, the rule is to divide the whole number by the bottom number of the fraction and multiply your answer by the top number of the fraction.

 

In art we heard a very interesting story about a girl from Afghanistan who has beautiful eyes and is in a world famous picture.  However, while the girl didn’t get money from the picture the photographer did.  So, twenty years after the photo was taken, he looked for her.  It took him two years to find her but eventually he found her and gave her money.
