K’Nex challenge

Leave a comment

On Wednesday 12th of March P7 did a k-nex challenge. Stem ambassadors came in and told us we had to make  David Livingstone’s cottage out of K’Nex. First we had to draw a plan on what we had to make and it had to be similar to our real thing. It also had to have a moving door or stairs to get up into the cottage. It had to be 10mm off the ground and 25cm square. It was a competition to see who did the best within a time limit which was 50minutes.  Then we had to make the cottage it was really hard. Everyone in P7 had to get a partner and all took part. Everybody’s was amazing but the people who were the judge had their eye on one. First it was down to 3 – Aiden and callum – Blair and Andrew – Teegan and Caitlin.Then it was down to 2 – Blair and Andrew – Teegan and CaitlinAnd the winner were TEEGAN AND CAITLIN! We got extra points because our picture looked exactly like our drawing!And in a couple of weeks we will be going to represent Easter Carmuirs Primary School in the k-nex challenge at the Falkirk wheel and there will be 30 different schools competing!

Circle time in P7

1 Comment

P7 have circle time every Thursday and we have circle time rules.1 of our rules are don’t talk when other people are talking, good eye contact, good listening and don’t laugh at other peoples comments. We do a game then a round then a activity and if we have time at the end   we do another game. Our games are usually something like elephant and mouse, splat, look up look down, novelty voices and the sun shines on. Our round is something like how we feel when someone wastes time…… or how well we concentrate in class…… and our activity is something like what’s on your mind or memory games and listening skills. We all enjoy circle time and would like to keep on having it.

Primary 7 are reading a book about sectarianism rivalry and asylum seekers, it is called Divided City. It is also about Celtic and rangers, religious hate, fights over football and a boy called Graham who is taking part in the orange walk and Joe is his friend and disagrees with him because he is a Celtic fan. Graham and Joe are   helping a girl because there is a boy called kyoul and he is an asylum seeker he was walking down a street and a gang stabbed him and the ran away. He was left bleeding and his wound was big,Graham phoned an ambulance and they came and took him to a doctor and he had surgery in the side of his body .  We are enjoying this book and we look forward to finding out how it ends.

Safer Internet Day

Leave a comment

Primary 4 pupils had a group discussion about their online responsibilities and rights. Then we compared our online rights and responsibilities to our class charter only to find out that they are very similar! Next Primary 4 pupils completed ‘ A safer internet day quiz’ for which they got all the questions right!  It’s safe to say that P4s are very knowledgeable about how to keep themselves safe when using the internet!

Burns Supper

Leave a comment

On Thursday 30th January at 1.30pm Primary 5/6 and Primary 6/7 invited around 100 people into school to join them for their Burns Supper. The pupils identified their skills, applied for jobs and planned and organised the whole event.

The event was a great success with some very important guests. We welcomed Provost Pat Reid, Tony Bragg, Mary Pitcaithly, Yvonne McBlain, Rev. Sharp, Mary Esson, Mrs McPherson and Mrs McKay. We also had a lot of parents come along. All our guests joined in as we sang Shang-a-Lang, Auld Lang Syne and Flower of Scotland. We had lots of guests joining us for ceilidh dances, Canadian Barn Dance, Military Two Step and Dashing White Sergeant.

We were lucky enough to receive donations from Patricks of Camelon, Asda, Tesco and Morrisons and served haggis, neeps and tatties, as well as shortbread and Irn Bru to our guests.

Callum, Kieran, Zanna, Shavanna, Alyssa, Erin and Stacy recited Address to a Haggis while Mrs McKenzie played the bagpipes.

Ben and Jamie wrote a very funny Toast to the Lassies, while Megan and Amy read their very clever reply.

We received some amazing feedback from our guests, we even had the Falkirk Herald photographer there to take some photographs!

“It felt really stressful when we were phoning people to ask for food, because they were not always available. It was very exciting at the Burns Supper” Erin P5/6

“It was a huge success. At the Burns Supper we were all excited” Robyn P5/6

“It was really awesome fun” Jack P5/6

“It was fun creating the decorations for the hall” Zanna P5/6

“When we were creating the invitations we were unsure whether the guests would be able to come or not” Laura P5/6

“We got donations from Patricks, Asda, Tesco and Morrisons for all the food” Emma P5/6

“I felt nervous when I was speaking in front of all the guests and parents but I really enjoyed it” Alyssa P5/6

“We didn’t expect that it would be such a great event” Callum P5/6

Thank you to all of our guests for coming along. Thank you to the Parent Council for helping us to cook the food. And finally, thank you to Patricks, Asda, Tesco and Morrisons for their very generous donations of food and drink for our event.
